Are the Metro Bank APIs following a banking standard (e.g. Open Banking)?

Metro Bank is not currently registered with Open Banking (nor any other standard).

However, during the development of our APIs, Metro Bank has followed the Open Banking standard where currently applicable. You should find that registration, security requirements, API endpoints and payloads are closely matched (or identical to) with the Open Banking standard.

Does Metro Bank support payments by API?

Metro Bank does not support payment APIs at this time.

We aim to release these at a later date.

What is the on-boarding process for Metro Bank's fans that use my application?

The on-boarding process is fully automated.

When your application makes a request to the /authorize resource, the customer is redirected to Metro Bank's secure login portal.

The customer shall provide any necessary account consent via the portal. When that process is complete your application can make further account information requests.
