Overview

The Business Account Insight API enables business clients to receive a complete overview of real-time transaction details and balances from their Dutch ABN AMRO accounts. This can be done with a direct connection or through a third party who is providing accounting, bookkeeping or other bank connectivity services for clients.
 
Comprehensive financial information is retrieved using an API instead of a traditional internet banking channel. As a result, the complete process of invoking, receiving, and using the data, can be fully automated.

All data is available digitally, so it can be directly used within your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Treasury Management System (TMS), or any other financial system. By defining the IBAN in the API call, the relating transaction data is retrieved. The API call can be tailored to your needs by defining, for instance, a date range.

The Business Account Insight API can be used by the account holder, the holding company to obtain bank statements on their respective companies or a third party providing bank connectivity services.
