Retrieving bank and branch data

Flow to show how you retrieve data

Get data access key

To retrieve bank data you must supply a valid data access key. The data access key is returned whenever you perform a successful validation.

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

  • BWGetBranchData to retrieve the branch name and address for the main branch and the sub-branches
  • BWGetSEPAData to retrieve the SEPA data for the main branch and the sub-branches. You can only retrieve this data for European bank accounts
  • BWGetSWIFTData to retrieve the SWIFT data for the main branch and the sub-branches
  • BWGetFasterPaymentsData 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
  • BWGetAdditionalData 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.
