Data Access Request

A Data Access Request (DAR) in banking refers to a request made by a customer to access and obtain their personal data that is held by the bank. The right to access personal data is a fundamental right under data protection regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union.

A customer can make a DAR to the bank either in writing or electronically. The bank is required to provide the requested information within a reasonable timeframe and in a clear and concise manner. The information provided should include details such as the categories of personal data held, the purpose of processing the data, the recipients of the data, and any other relevant details.
