Hey bunqers 🌈,

After being the first bank to launch its public API, bunq now adds OAuth as an extra safety measure!

OAuth (or Open Authorization) is a protocol that allows apps to be connected to your bunq account in a safe way and gives you the option to build new applications and get access to specific data without having to exchange user names and passwords.

You can learn all about OAuth here

How can I manage my OAuth connections?

Follow these simple steps:

1. Go to 👤 Profile

2. Tap on ⚙️ Settings

3. Select Security

4. Tap on My app connections

What are OAuth's permissions upon my authorization?

• Have read only access to monetary accounts (e.g. developer can't create sub-accounts, but can get a list of the sub-accounts that you have).
• Have read only access to payments (e.g. developer can't make payments, but can read view the transactions that you made).
• Have read and write access to Draft-Payments (e.g. developer CAN create draft payments that need to be approved by the user).
• Make payments between monetary accounts belonging to the same user (without need for the user to approve them).
• Change the account to which a card is linked to. It is not possible to order cards, or add/edit a secondary/backup account for a card.
• Read/list request inquiries.
• Read/list request responses.
• Create payment requests using the request-inquiry API resource;
