bunq API Access for Italy | open-banking.io

Reading data from a bunq account in Italy no longer means wrestling with sandbox keys or eIDAS certificates. open-banking.io links directly to bunq through the regulated PSD2 channel, so your app or spreadsheet receives clean, structured banking data with a single set of credentials. Whether you are building a fintech product, reconciling company books, or tracking personal spending, the connection stays the same reliable pipeline.

bunq operates across the EU under Dutch licensing and serves Italian customers with fully digital personal and business accounts. Through our unified endpoint you tap into that data without maintaining any bunq-specific integration of your own.

bunq is one of 2,600+ institutions reachable through open-banking.io across the EU and UK. bunq does not publish a BIC for this connection, and both personal and business account types are supported. Each authorization stays valid for up to 180 days, after which the account holder simply re-approves to keep the data flowing.

Privacy by design

Our platform is zero-knowledge: your banking data passes through, but we never build a profile from it. There are no QWAC or QSEAL certificates to buy or renew, because the certificate-free architecture handles compliance behind the scenes. You get the access without the operational overhead.

Pricing

One flat plan of roughly EUR 3 per month covers your bunq connection and every other supported bank — no per-call fees, no tiered add-ons, no surprises as you scale.
