I don't hear often about banks providing API access. Only big companies on special contracts may get something like that, but it is usually very limited - talking from my personal experience, but what I learnt from the internet - it's the same everywhere.
But... In Europe thanks to just another EU laws we should have every bank offering an API access for everyone starting from September 2018 IIRC. That would help a lot with automation, I hope generating few api keys with different access permissions would be possible with that.

- Tharkun 8y agoPSD2 is not what you think it is. It has API access, but not for the end user. Only 'integrators' will have access to these APIs. You will need to request permission to write/deploy software using the APIs. This involves massive bureaucratic overhead and in some cases permission from your country's national bank.
- kyriakos 8y agoCan you please give some more info about this eu regulation? I'm really interested to see if my bank has an API in place.
- egourlao 8y agoLook up PSD2 regulations.
- namibj 8y agoThere is a system for integrating with larg(er) corporate banking software, but here it seems to require a smartcard, likely with a PIN, and no way to restrict it to be readonly. It's horrible XML protocol stuff though.
