"Anonymised" is the key word for me here as TPPs wouln't have the free will to share any data further without customer consent otherwise.

GDPR is going to dictate when a set of transactions could be qualified as annonymous to ensure customer information is protected when sharing transaction sets to other FinTechs.

Good thought GoCompare of building a massive repository of transactions - will be interesting to see the kind of trends that emerge from the analysis at some stage.

Would the same result not be easily achieved had the central bank applied each transaction real-time in the existing domestic automated clearing house scheme instead of waiting for the typical settlement windows? I can't really see the advantage of blockchain in this particular use case. It just looks like a desperate attempt by a bank to demonstrate that they could have a story in BC while still tying the value back into fiat currency. Eye wash!
