Upcoming changes

To comply with PSD2 SCA regulations, from 18 November 2024, we will only allow access to this endpoint within the first 5 minutes after the user has authorised the consent. After those 5 minutes, access to this endpoint will be denied and an HTTP 403 error will be returned.

Authorization​

Each Open Banking API must contain an authorization header in the following format to make a call: Bearer <yourAccessToken>.

Before you start, ensure that you've got an access token with the correct scope using the /token endpoint. You need to get the authorization code first and exchange it for an access token.

danger

Never share your access_token with anyone, as it can be used to access the banking data that you have access to and initiate transactions.

For more information, see Tutorial: Get account and transaction information and Tutorial: Initiate your first payment as examples.

x-jws-signature​

Open Banking API Payment requests additionally require a JSON Web Signature (JWS) which needs to be added to the header of the request. The JWS signature must be obtained using the full content of the payload.
