La Banque Postale has developed APIs in order to comply with the requirements of the delegated Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/389 of 27 November 2017 (RTS) and thus enable TPP to offer their service.

The status of La Banque Postale's API is as follows:

  • The confirmation on the availability of funds API (CBPII) is compliant.
  •  The account information API (AISP) is compliant. 
  •  The payment initiation API (PISP) is partially compliant. The most important features are available with SCT inst, SCT and standing orders. International payments will arrived later.

In view of the regulatory texts, an incomplete API cannot be considered as the nominal interface for exchange with the TPPs. Therefore, at the request of the regulator, La Banque Postale invites the TPPs to use the alternative access, i.e. the authenticated web scraping solution. The documentation of this alternative solution is available in the Support section.
