		hardwaresofton 10 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Mercury Personal Banking You’d be surprised how hard it is to find an API driven bank account. They might be able to charge this just fine, maybe they could charge even more. Automating my bank account is definitely worth that to me, and probably others as well [EDIT] aaaand in ~17mins I’m signed up and have put in a wire to fund the new account already. Easiest decision I have made today. <$24 a month for an API to my bank is a price I am certainly willing to pay — I expect I’m not alone. Well done Mercury.

My bank has for nearly 3 decades an implementation of an standartised api banking API called FINTS. There are quite a few clients for that use the api, including the app of my bank on my phone.
