The EU is blocking major U.S. tech firms from new financial data rules to protect privacy and competition.
The European Union is excluding major U.S. tech firms like Google, Meta, and Apple from its Financial Data Access (FiDA) reforms, which aim to expand third-party access to banking and insurance data.
Driven by concerns over consumer privacy, market fairness, and digital sovereignty, the move reflects broader EU efforts to limit the dominance of global tech giants.
Supported by the European Parliament, Commission, and Germany, the final version of FiDA restricts big tech access despite warnings from industry groups that it could stifle innovation and strain transatlantic relations already tense over U.S. tariffs.
The reforms are nearing completion and mark a significant shift in Europe’s digital regulatory approach.
