What the Basiq API can't do for you

 

❌ We don't provide write access

Basiq has read only access only, meaning we can not update or create any data when a customer provides their credentials.

❌ We don't provide event notifications (...yet)

Watch this space... Although we do not currently do not offer any Webhook style support, we are currently working on an action initiation feature, which will enable you to subscribe to changes in data.

❌ We don't expose customer credit card numbers

Credit card numbers are always masked to maintain PCI compliance.

❌ We don't share your data

We take data privacy very seriously and we do not hold onto or share any of your data without your consent.
