The 2026 CDR Revolution

How the Non-Bank Lender Rollout Unlocks Your Competitive Edge

Countdown to Phase 1: Product Data Transparency

...

Days Until July 13, 2026

A Two-Phase Transformation for Brokers

This expansion isn't a single event; it's a staggered, strategic rollout that creates two distinct periods of opportunity for your brokerage.

📄

Phase 1: Product Data Sharing

From **July 13, 2026**

All non-bank lenders must publish their product data in a standardized format. This instantly enables **market-wide comparison capability** across the entire ecosystem.

👤

Phase 2: Consumer Data Sharing

From **Nov 9, 2026**

With client consent, brokers access verified financial data directly. This means **streamlined compliance** and highly personalized service delivery.

Phase 1: Eliminating Product Guesswork

The first phase forces non-bank transparency, demanding technology that can ingest and process this structured data stream. Your competitive edge depends on your ability to interpret this data instantly.

The Shift in Data Flow

OLD WAY: Manual Searches & Silos
➪
NEW WAY: Standardized Product APIs

Tools like the **CreditPolicy AI Engine** will connect directly to this standardized feed, turning raw data into actionable policy matches.

Phase 2: The Responsible Lending Accelerator

The Consumer Data phase is the true compliance upgrade. It replaces the administrative burden of document verification with a secure, digital audit trail that drastically mitigates risk under ASIC's **RG 209** requirements.
