> MICROSOFT, INTUIT SET THE PACE FOR INTERNET BANKING
>
> Microsoft and Intuit Inc. have teamed up with Atlanta-based
> CheckFree Corp. to devise and promote a single standard for
> banking over the Internet.
>
> The Open Financial Exchange standard seeks to establish rules
> for exchanging financial data among financial institutions,
> businesses and consumers over the Internet. Both Microsoft
> and Intuit will modify their competing personal-finance
> programs to adhere to the new standard.
>
> Conflicting standards have been cited as one reason that online
> banking hasn't really caught on with consumers and financial
> institutions. "The banks are saying we don't want to have all
> of these choices," says an industry consultant.
