Why it matters

What Banking Sectors
Should Do

Under the DPDP Act, banks and NBFCs are Data Fiduciaries, and their BPOs, cloud hosts, bureaus and video-KYC partners are Data Processors. DPDP.ai gives you one platform to meet those duties across every customer channel and vendor.

Know your customer data

KYC records, credit data and transaction history sit across core banking, LOS/LMS, CRM and collections. DPDP.ai discovers and classifies this personal data and maps it by system, owner, purpose and retention.

One consent view across channels

Branch, mobile app, net banking, call centre and digital lending flows each capture consent differently. DPDP.ai offers multilingual, purpose-linked notices and a single consent ledger with withdrawal. Consent signals reach downstream systems in real time.

Timeline you can plan for

Consent Manager registration opens on 13 November 2026, and obligations take effect on 13 May 2027. DPDP.ai's phased modules (Consent Core, Flow, Control, Govern) let you start with consent and expand as you go.

Managing data across borders

Data flow monitoring shows what personal data leaves your environment, who receives it and where it goes. This lets you check each transfer against RBI localisation norms and DPDP transfer provisions.

Vendor risk inside your perimeter

Vendor risk assessment and processor mapping in the ROPA tie each third party to the data it handles.

Board-level exposure

Penalties can reach ₹250 crore per violation, depending on the obligation breached. DPDP.ai helps you reduce that risk with evidence-backed controls.

Challenges

Issues Banks and NBFCs Need to Prepare For

With decades of numerous products, channels and outsourcing. Banks and NBFCs’ customer data has become too scattered. These are the gaps compliance teams encounter first.

Contact Sales
  1. 01

    Personal data sits in fragmented systems

    Customer records are stored in core systems, LOS/LMS, CRM, collections and verification tools, so personal data is scattered across many systems.

  2. 02

    Consent is captured in different ways:

    Branches, mobile apps, net banking, call centres and digital lending flows each follow their own process, which leads to uneven consent and DPDP practices.

  3. 03

    A long chain of third-party handoffs

    Data moves to BPOs, cloud providers, KYC partners and credit bureaus, and every handoff adds risk for the bank or NBFC.

  4. 04

    Localisation and cross-border rules overlap

    RBI data storage mandates and DPDP transfer rules apply together, so both must be managed side by side.

  5. 05

    Rights requests across multiple products

    One customer may hold a savings account, a card and a loan, so a single access or erasure request has to be handled across many systems.

  6. 06

    Audit evidence is needed on demand

    Regulators expect a current view of data flows, consent and processor activity, and a static spreadsheet report no longer meets that bar.

Talk to an Expert
What is a bank under the DPDP Act?

A bank is considered a Data Fiduciary under the DPDP Act. It is considered one because it processes customer data like KYC records and credit information.

Does the DPDP Act cover existing customers or only new sign-ups?

It applies to both existing and new signups. As processing of digital personal data is considered under the DPDP Act, both types of customers are considered.

Do RBI localisation and DPDP cross-border rules apply together?

Yes, they apply together. Organisations must comply with both the DPDP Act and sector-specific RBI directives simultaneously.

What is a Consent Manager?

A Consent Manager is an entity who is the single point of contact for individuals to give, manage, review, and withdraw their consent with different organisations.
