01. Getting Started
About the Service
XS2A is an interface that allows your application to communicate with payment and account services of various banks under PSD2 regulations.
The finAPI XS2A API is 100% compliant with the Berlin Group Standard.
This documentation is about a so-called Sandbox service that provides the possibility to test the access to bank data via the XS2A interface using test data.
The OpenAPI Definition with examples and additional hints is available under https://docs.finapi.io/?product=xs2a
How to Register
