viaBanking Banking API connects web applications to account information and payment initiation services through one banking connection. It connects to 2,500 banks and institutions and supports account data, balances, transactions, account verification data, and payment status. Developers connect through a REST API, with bank-hosted consent and strong customer authentication handled via a licensed provider. Data refresh is on demand, allowing account information to be requested when needed. The free Sandbox plan offers sandbox access with sample-data AIS and PIS calls and requires no card. Production provides live access to C2B accounts across Europe, combining AIS and PIS in one connection. Production billing is usage-based, with volume rates available on request. This makes the two plans distinct: the Sandbox is for free access using sample data, while Production is the offering for live account access. The service is web-based and has a freemium pricing model, with production pricing not listed as a fixed amount.
Who it is for
It suits developers building web applications that need account information services, payment initiation services, or both through a banking API. The Sandbox is for teams starting with sample-data calls before seeking production pricing.
