Bank of Ireland API: frequently asked questions
Does Bank of Ireland have a public API?
Yes. Bank of Ireland publishes regulated PSD2 open banking APIs covering account information (AIS), payment initiation (PIS) and confirmation of funds (CBPII). Registration and documentation live on its developer portal at https://developer.bankofireland.com.
Does Bank of Ireland offer an API sandbox?
Yes. Sandbox access is available but not self-service, so you go through the bank to get in.
Which open banking standard does the Bank of Ireland API use?
UK Open Banking: the API standard mandated for UK banks. Two banks on the same standard can still differ in the details, so read the bank's own documentation before you build.
How do you authenticate with the Bank of Ireland API?
OAuth 2.0, with redirect SCA for the customer consent step. Production access to the regulated endpoints also means registering as a licensed third-party provider with the bank.
Does Bank of Ireland offer premium APIs beyond PSD2?
Not that we have recorded. Bank of Ireland's listing covers the regulated UK Open Banking baseline only.
Which countries does the Bank of Ireland API cover?
Ireland and the United Kingdom.
Is the Bank of Ireland API free to use?
Banks generally do not charge licensed third-party providers for the regulated open banking endpoints, which is the point of the mandate. Premium APIs above that baseline are commercial products priced by the bank. BankSnipe does not track pricing, so confirm it with the bank.
How mature is the Bank of Ireland API?
BankSnipe scores it 4 out of 5 (Established). The score counts how many of the four product signals are live: AIS, PIS, CBPII and premium APIs beyond the regulated UK Open Banking baseline.
