Tarabut Gateway Account Information connects customer bank accounts through an Open Banking consent flow and provides account data after permission is granted. Its Connect service supplies a URL a business can embed in an application, guiding customers through choosing a bank, setting permissions, authenticating with the bank, and consenting. Available data can include accounts, transactions, direct debits, and beneficiaries. Transaction responses may include categories and merchant details through the Insights service. Documentation says one year of transactions is fetched by default, though history varies by bank. Consent may be one-time or long-term; long-term consent is capped at 12 months, and categorisation requires it. Refresh frequency depends on the bank, while APIs can request updated balances and transactions. Connect supports English and Arabic. Customers can withdraw access at any time, and Tarabut says bank credentials remain with the bank. A free Portal account provides an isolated sandbox for development and testing; production pricing is on request.
