Ask HN: Is there any US bank with a consumer facing API?
I want a bank or service that gives me direct access to transactions data over API.
There was a great Ask HN about this a year ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12359560), but no easy way to get API access to my own transactions as a regular consumer.
Anyone know of something like this?
- bob_theslob646 9y agoThe transcation data you seek is proprietary.
- bckygldstn 9y agoBut it's your own transactions.
- tobylane 9y agoThe EU is mandating considerable openness including API access for customers this year. PSD2 may come to US customers of international banks.
- boysabr3 9y agoAfaik https://plaid.com/ https://plaid.com/ allows you to access transaction data
- gakos 9y agoBut Plaid doesn't offer banking services, just balance and transaction data from traditional banks (as well as some other services like authentication). Used their API for a side project and recommend it. Dwolla is another player in this space. https://www.dwolla.com/ https://www.dwolla.com/
