Austrian bank appeals DPA decision on GDPR access fee

The Austrian Data Protection Authority ruled that a customer must be granted access to his bank account details under the GDPR. The bank appealed, arguing that banking regulations permit a €30 annual fee for information not available through online banking. The case is before the Austrian Federal Administrative Court (BVwG).

Why it matters: The ruling could clarify how GDPR access rights interact with sector-specific banking fee regulations.
