API Services & Documentation

Using VP Bank APIs help you to extend your services. Our supported set of API services let you use customer’s data who give their consents to do so.

Our API services are based on Berlin Group Access-to-Account (XSA2) specifications, version 1.2 and follow the required services covered by the PSD2 regulation. These services are currently supported for customers using our online services of our Liechtenstein and Luxembourg location. Further services might be extended in the future.

We support requests and responses in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. For payment initiation instructions XML formats may be used as well. Data exposure handling is supported through RESTful services.

Services are supported for third-party providers using a qualified certificate for website authentication issued by a qualified trust service provider according eIDAS regulation. The content of the certificate has to be compliant with the requirements of the Regulatory Technical Standards of European Banking Authority.

Customer permission and authentication

Please note that VP Bank follows only the bank-offered consent principles. Customer permissions, i.e. consents, for the respective services are managed on the Bank’s online banking platform using Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) regulated by the respective Regulatory Technical Standards.

The supported method to perform a SCA is currently only via redirect. We will follow an implicit authorization flow and deliver a redirect URL in the response message. Further authentication methods including OAuth2 might be added in the future.
