After publishing our documentation and sandbox, we are now live with our Account Information, Payment Initiation and Confirmation on the Availability of Funds APIs! Now you can connect with ABN AMRO payment accounts within the scope of PSD2:

• All Payment Accounts (The Netherlands)
• Payment Accounts for Corporate Customers (Belgium, Germany & United Kingdom)

On our Sandbox you can experiment, develop and test your application for the PSD2 Services. It enables you to submit API requests and receive realistic responses that reflect the production environment.

We enable you to build exciting integrations with the bank. What will you build? Let’s innovate finance!

PSD2 Explained

A number of changes will take place in the area of payment services. These changes relate to a new European directive PSD2 (Payment Services Directive). One of the main objectives of PSD2 is to boost competition and innovation in the area of payment services.

The most significant change for ABN AMRO customers is that they will be able to give licensed third parties access to their current accounts. For the customer, this will enhance convenience or create new experiences.

Alongside banks, other companies and organisations will be able to access account information and initiate payment services. This can only be done with permission of the customer.

Please note that when you require access as a third party service provider to ABN AMRO accounts, you need a PSD2 license from a local competent authority and a PSD2 QWAC EIDAS SSL certificate.
 

Account Information

Do your customers want to have aggregated financial information or an overview of their balances from accounts held at different banks? Then Account Information is the API you need to build an application or website which solves problems like these for your customers.

With the Account Information API you can:

• Automatically retrieve transactions and balance information
• Create remarkable client experiences
• Provide valuable insights to your users
• Reduce manual steps needed for data gathering processes

Payment Initiation

Do your customers want to initiate payments from your application or do they want to use one bank application for several banks? Then Payment Initiation is the API you need to build an application or website which solves problems like these for your customers.

With the Payment Initiation API you can:

• Send in payment instructions directly from your application or website
• Create remarkable client experiences
• Reduce manual steps needed for payment processes

Confirmation on the Availability of Funds

Do your customers want to verify if a certain amount is available on a bank account when a card-based payment transaction is initiated? Then Account Information is the API you need to build an application or website which solves a problem like this for your customers.

We are looking forward to seeing what you create!
