How it works
When a customer chooses to pay by bank using one of the registered Third Party apps, the Account Information API standard enables the following:
- The Third Party starts the account information consent flow by sending the request to the API Provider (e.g. the customer’s bank).
- The Third Party directs the customer to their bank app or website where they can be authenticated. You can learn more about the customer experience options here.
- The API Provider displays the data access request details, and the customer selects the accounts they will share with the Third Party app or website.
- The API Provider sends confirmation to the Third Party that the customer has authorised the data access consent.
- The Third Party can request the customers account information.
