ČSOB exposes an open banking API built on the Berlin Group NextGenPSD2 standard, covering account information (AIS), payment initiation (PIS) and confirmation of funds (CBPII). We have not recorded any premium APIs beyond the regulated PSD2 baseline.
Access uses OAuth 2.0 with redirect SCA, over a REST interface. A sandbox is available, though access is not self-service.
The API is offered in Czechia and Slovakia, and what is live differs by market (see the table below). BankSnipe rates ČSOB's API maturity 4/5 (Established), last reviewed 15 Jun 2026.

ČSOB API: frequently asked questions
Does ČSOB have a public API?
Yes. ČSOB 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://developers.csob.cz.
Does ČSOB 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 ČSOB API use?
Berlin Group NextGenPSD2: the most widely used European open-banking API standard. 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 ČSOB 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 ČSOB offer premium APIs beyond PSD2?
Not that we have recorded. ČSOB's listing covers the regulated PSD2 baseline only.
Which countries does the ČSOB API cover?
Czechia and Slovakia. The offering is not identical in every market, so check the per-country table on this page.
Is the ČSOB 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 ČSOB 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 PSD2 baseline.
