Who are the brokers? I'm very confused about how this is supposed to work and how this is considered open source. Plenty of banking services publicize their APIs and you almost never see any similarities across them. This just seems like yet another standard among hundreds of them out there.

We're starting with lipa & relai. Not sure I understand your confusion. Open source in this case means this isn't a proprietary interface, anyone is free to use it (not the case with "banking API"). It also means that once brokers supports it, any client will be able to use it.

So to use it won't require anyone else's permission or a business signing up in advanced? Will it be available to the US?
