UBS exposes a country-specific open banking API, covering account information (AIS) and payment initiation (PIS). Beyond the core account and payment APIs it also offers 4 premium API categories: real-time balances, statement reporting, bulk payments and investments & custody.
Access uses OAuth 2.0 over a REST interface. A self-service sandbox lets you build and test before you apply for production access.
The API serves Switzerland. BankSnipe rates UBS's API maturity 4/5 (Established), last reviewed 2 Nov 2026.

Notes
Switzerland sits outside PSD2. UBS's own developer portal is small, publishing just three APIs: a free QR-bill and payment-slip service, an indicative mortgage offer, and securities settlement status. Account access and payments come instead through SIX's bLink platform, where UBS is a connected bank, alongside bLink's custody and order placement services. Neither route offers a confirmation-of-funds service, so CBPII is false.
UBS API: frequently asked questions
Does UBS have a public API?
Yes. UBS publishes open banking APIs covering account information (AIS) and payment initiation (PIS), plus premium APIs beyond that baseline. Registration and documentation live on its developer portal at https://developer.ubs.com.
Does UBS offer an API sandbox?
Yes. The sandbox is self-service, so you can sign up and start calling it without a commercial agreement in place.
Which open banking standard does the UBS API use?
Other: A non-standard or country-specific open-banking API. 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 UBS API?
OAuth 2.0. Production access to the regulated endpoints also means registering as a licensed third-party provider with the bank.
Does UBS offer premium APIs?
Yes. We have recorded 4 premium categories on UBS: real-time balances, statement reporting, bulk payments and investments & custody. These sit above the core account and payment APIs and are the ones corporate treasury teams tend to care about.
Which countries does the UBS API cover?
Switzerland.
Is the UBS API free to use?
UBS's APIs sit outside the EEA open banking mandate, so pricing is entirely the bank's own call. BankSnipe does not track pricing, so confirm it with the bank.
How mature is the UBS 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 core account and payment APIs.
