Root – Programmable bank account for software developers • Hacker News Board

I wish brokerages/banks had APIs, even just for reading. I've tried just reading my Fidelity transactions with a script and they seem to have blocked my server.

How is this different from Monzo?

I don't see any mention on Monzo's page about having an API. EDIT: Found a blog post about it! https://monzo.com/blog/2016/02/03/mondo-api/ cool!

I'd like to have something like this for Germany. I am willing to pay 10€/month for a simple API access to my bank account. I need neither hosted code nor push. Just give me remote access for my scripts.

Probably I'm asking for the impossible because of the heavy regulation in Germany but just wanted to put it out there.
