  1. Introduction The data and services subject to sharing are a primordial part of Open Finance, as they will be determinants for the degree of usefulness and interest in Open Finance by society. Thus, ensuring the quality, availability, and integrity of these data and services is fundamental to building trust in Open Finance. Joint Resolution No. 1, of May 4, 2020, establishes the obligation to share data of products and services made available by institutions to their clients, while Circular No. 4.015, of May 4, 2020, disciplines the scope of these data. This manual was prepared to specify the minimum detailing and standardization necessary for sharing. In this sense, the fields in the tables below are listed with additional information and description of attributes, when pertinent. For the implementation of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) in accordance with the requirements of current regulation, detailed technical guidance must be made available on the Open Finance Portal of Brazil. The data listed in this manual are mandatory for implementation, in accordance with Circular No. 4.015, of 2020, and are translated into the technical specification according to the analysis and deliberation of the Open Finance Governance Structure, and may be consolidated or expanded into multiple fields. When certain data are considered optional, according to the technical specifications of the Open Finance Governance Structure, participating institutions may only refrain from sending data for which there is impossibility due to their non-existence, with no discretion in this forwarding. It should be noted that participating institutions in Open Finance have autonomy to decide on the sharing of data additional to those related in this manual, provided that prior client consent regarding personal data is respected and current legislation and regulation are observed. Prior client consent, for determined purposes and timeframes, is also required for the sharing of the client's registration and transactional data provided for in this manual. This manual also specifies the minimum data necessary for sharing the payment transaction initiation service, as well as details the scope of payment modalities that must be implemented in Open Finance, according to the schedule established by the Central Bank of Brazil. Regarding data, in addition to the minimum information for payment transaction initiation, the data set forth in the regulations or instruments that govern the operation of the payment arrangement related to the respective payment transaction and other data established in the specifications available on the Open Finance Portal of Brazil must generally be provided. For the operational aspects of Open Finance, it is necessary to consult complementary information sources, available on the Open Finance Portal of Brazil, where specifications related to the high-level view, the data dictionary (in this case, the type, format, size, and other pertinent attributes of data fields), as well as data groupings and API codes, can be found. Finally, it is worth highlighting that fostering competition among financial institutions, payment institutions, and other institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil, through the comparability of shared information, is one of the objectives to be achieved with Open Finance. Thus, all information contained in this manual must be provided in accordance with the standardization established in current regulation, when applicable.
