One interface for all transactions

This API enables you to initiate SEPA Credit Transfers, SEPA Direct Debits, and Cross Border payments.

Overview

Use this API to automate the process of initiating transactions from your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Treasury Management System (TMS), or any other financial systems. This eliminates errors caused by manual transaction entries or uploads and makes the process faster and safer. After initiation of the payments, you can authorize the payments in your Access Online or Internet Banking Business portal.

Combined with the Business Account Insight API, the payments and reconciliation process can be optimized. This gives you a better insight into the current status of your invoices and account balances and provides you with the opportunity to make better financial decisions.

Business clients can connect to ABN AMRO either directly or through a third party who is providing accounting, bookkeeping or other bank connectivity services for clients.

This API supports the ISO20022 XML format.
