Dutch mobile-only bank Bunq also published their API pretty recently: https://www.bunq.com/en/api https://www.bunq.com/en/api
Things are starting to not-entirely-suck in retail banking land. (in Europe, at least - not sure about elsewhere)
- reledi 9y agoMonzo, the UK mobile-only bank, also has an API: https://developers.monzo.com/ https://developers.monzo.com/ Teller is not a bank itself though. I believe it started as a wrapper around banks' private APIs, not sure whether that's still the case.
- martinald 9y agoTo be fair, Monzo isn't either. They don't have any of their own infrastructure yet, it's just a third party rebranded prepaid card.
- lylo 9y agoThat's not true. They recently received a banking license (https://monzo.com/blog/2017/04/05/banking-licence/ https://monzo.com/blog/2017/04/05/banking-licence/) and they have built their own platform (https://monzo.com/blog/2016/09/19/building-a-modern-bank-backend/ https://monzo.com/blog/2016/09/19/building-a-modern-bank-bac...).
- richardknop 9y agoBut monzo card is still just prepaid debit card. You don't get a current account. That might change later this year when they roll out current accounts but for now it's just simple prepaid/travel debit card with mobile app. Also not sure they have switched from WireCard yet? Last time I heard they have not switched all of their existing users to their own platform but perhaps they managed the transition already?
- germanier 9y agoUnfortunately the Bunq API requires a fixed IP address which means I can't use it with my non-cloud banking software from my (dynamic IP) home connection.
