HSBC France API Access & Open Banking Integration

Reach your HSBC France business account data without maintaining a bank certificate, an eIDAS seal, or a PSD2 gateway of your own. open-banking.io speaks to HSBC (BIC HBUKGB4BXXX) through regulated open-banking rails and hands the decrypted result to you locally — the platform itself only ever holds your public key, so it can never read a single balance or transaction. It covers 2,600+ EU/UK banks for roughly EUR 3/month, and HSBC France is one of them.

How to connect HSBC

Connecting happens entirely inside the open-banking.io dashboard — there is no endpoint to call and no key to paste.

  1. Sign up for an account.
  2. Set an encryption passphrase. Your key pair is generated on your own device; the private half never leaves it.
  3. In the dashboard, pick HSBC France and choose the business account type it supports.
  4. You are redirected to HSBC's own secure login, where you approve access under PSD2 — your credentials are entered only on HSBC's page, never on ours.
  5. Your accounts sync back into the dashboard, ready to view.

The consent you grant HSBC stays valid for up to 180 days, after which you simply re-approve on the same HSBC screen to keep the link alive.

Access your data

Want the data in code? That is an optional developer step you take after the connection above exists. Open the Developers page, create an API key, and export a credentials.json — this bundles the API key together with your private decryption key. From there:

  • CLI: openbanking accounts, openbanking transactions, openbanking sync
  • Any SDK, or the plain REST API

Every request carries your key in the X-Api-Key header, and each response is decrypted locally with the private key in your credentials.json. An API key on its own returns only ciphertext — without your key, there is nothing readable to leak.

FAQ

Does open-banking.io ever see my HSBC login?

No. You authenticate on HSBC France's own consent screen; open-banking.io only receives the access HSBC grants, and your data arrives encrypted to a key only you hold.

Can I connect HSBC from the CLI?

No. The CLI and SDKs only read and sync connections that already exist. The bank link itself is made once in the dashboard.

Which HSBC accounts are supported?

HSBC France business accounts, with consent lasting up to 180 days before renewal.
