Bank Data API

About this Cloud Hub Solution:

‍

The Bank Data API is a RESTful API that provides access to financial institution data, allowing developers to build applications that seamlessly interact with banking systems.

‍

The API offers a variety of endpoints for retrieving essential information, including:

• Bank routing numbers, which facilitate secure transactions
• Branch locations, helping users find the nearest bank or ATM
• Account information, providing insights into user account details
• Transaction history, allowing for real-time financial tracking
• Financial institution profiles, offering comprehensive data on banks and their operations

‍

By leveraging the Bank Data API, developers can create innovative fintech applications, payment processing systems, and other financial services that rely on access to banking data.

‍

One of the key features of the Bank Data API is its ability to check and validate IBAN (International Bank Account Number) and SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) numbers.

‍

With this API, developers can access a wealth of information, including:

• IBAN examples and structure by country, ensuring compliance with international banking standards
• Required fields for generating IBANs, streamlining the process of creating new accounts
• Banks by country, providing a comprehensive list of financial institutions worldwide
• All major banks and SWIFT codes, facilitating international transactions and financial interactions.
