Open Government and OSFI Financial Data

Rationale for the transition to Open Government

While this represents a change from how some users previously accessed the data, the Open Government approach provides powerful benefits, including better access to full datasets, improved data quality, and greater flexibility for analysis. The legacy FINDAT platform relied on outdated technology, which limited OSFI's ability to make timely corrections and made customized analysis difficult. Open Government resolves these challenges.

Access. Transparency. Flexibility.

We are committed to transparency and accessibility through Canada's Open Government initiative. Open Government allows Canadians, researchers, analysts, and regulated entities to access government‑approved data in open, machine‑readable formats, instead of viewing information one report at a time. You can now download complete datasets and analyze them using tools such as Excel or Power BI.

We've made this shift to help you work with the data more efficiently and confidently. Key benefits include:

• Greater transparency through standardized, publicly approved datasets
• Flexibility, allowing users to filter, combine, and consolidate data based on their needs
• Collaboration made simple: share a live, filtered view so everyone sees the same data instantly.
