Question: What does this this "standards" issue mean? "On the bank side, we are working toward using XML and OFX 2.0," he said, referring to two widely adopted technical protocols, Extensible Markup Language and Open Financial Exchange. "No one is there today" with those standards, he said. "The only place where we don't have the same piece as anyone else is at the biller end. " Am I remembering correctly that OFX 2.0 is the Integrion/CKFR standard, and that MSFT was trying to promote some in-house, proprietary pseudo-standard in its place? And is my hunch correct that Wells is now rejecting that ploy?
