Retrieving bank and branch data

Flow to show how you retrieve data

Get data access key

To retrieve data from the database table files, you must supply a data access key. The data access key is returned whenever you perform a validation or a verification.

The data access key is only valid for a finite period. You should retrieve all the data you require immediately after performing the validation or verification, before the key expires.

Retrieve data

The service you call depends upon the type of data you want to retrieve. You can call any combination of the data retrieval services to retrieve all of the data that you require. Use:

GetBranchData to retrieve the branch name and address for the main branch and the sub-branches
GetSEPAData to retrieve the SEPA data for the main branch and the sub-branches. You can only retrieve this data for European bank accounts
GetSWIFTData to retrieve the SWIFT data for the main branch and the sub-branches
GetFasterPaymentsData to retrieve the Faster Payments data for the main branch and the sub-branches. You can only retrieve this data for United Kingdom bank accounts
GetAdditionalData to retrieve the additional branch data for the main branch and the sub-branches.

Display data

You can display all or sub-sections of the data to the user.

You should never display the data access key to the user.
