Ask HN: EU Banks and Their APIs

2 pointsdataduck4 comments

I'm starting a project that needs reliable interaction with a bank (for buying ETFs) in the EU (Germany, but preferably EU wide). I was surprised to find that there are some banks that don't even have an officially supported public API, and it makes me a bit nervous what the others are like. Does anybody have any experience of which banks offer reliable, easy to use APIs?

Look into OpenBanking and PSD2.

I've been looking at both - as far as I can tell, OpenBanking is UK only, and PSD2 only applies to personal data, not making transactions. Am I mistaken?

OpenBanking is what the UK implementation of PSD is. PSD, as far as I am aware, allows you to do payments, and is not limited to just PII.

I’d be more surprised to find a bank with a public API.
