FinTS interim fallback (DE)

...

  • In what way is the 90 days history download limit related to FinTS SCA?
    • We introduced the 90 day download limit for every customer in order to avoid massive amounts of 2nd factor requests sent out during our batch updates. These requests are triggered by some banks if a transaction history langer than 89 days is requested, which is usually the case for a bank connection import.
  • Our app is ready for strong customer authentication (SCA), can you switch off the 90 days download limit for our app?
    • Yes, the limit can be switched off for each customer separately. Please contact the finAPI support at support@finapi.io.

How can I make a money transfer for accounts with XS2A-interface

  • Currently the XS2A interface does not support SEPA money transfers, yet. In the meanwhile either FINTS or Webscraping interface functionality can be used.  Therefore the bank connection has to be connected additionally to the FINTS or Webscraping interface (service "Connect a new interface") in order to use the request SEPA money transfer and execute SEPA money transfer.
