Frequently Asked Questions
What is Open Banking?
Open Banking is a reform, called for by the Competitions & Market Authority (CMA), which mandates Santander and the eight other largest current account providers (CMA9) to securely share customer account data and initiate payments with registered third party providers (TPPs) provided the customer has given their consent.
What are our Open Banking APIs?
All our Open Banking APIs are documented in the API Catalogue. Please refer to the API Catalogue in the Developer Portal for details.
How can I access Santander's Read/Write APIs?
As a TPP, in order to access our Read/Write APIs, you need to be enrolled with Open Banking (Enrolling Onto Open Banking Guide) and registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or a National Competent Authority (NCA), as either an AISP and/or PISP, TSP or CBPII. This will then enable you to access our APIs through the Santander Developer Portal.
How do I dynamically register with Open Banking APIs?
Santander supports the Open Banking Dynamic Client Registration implementation (RFC 7591). You can use the DCR API to dynamically register with us.
