Web Form 2.0

We have revised and improved the previous finAPI Web Form. The new finAPI Web Form 2.0 also offers you and your customers some new advantages.

• Easy integration: fewer API endpoints and simple interface handling (XS2A, FinTs, Scraper) in the background on the finAPI side, less effort and testing
• UX-driven: Improved user experience through optimized UX/UI
• Integrated bank search
• Integrated MSA (Multi-Step Authentication Types)
• White labeling function: Use e.g. Your logo, colors, font
• Responsive design for desktop, tablet and smartphone
• Easy embedding in web applications and mobile applications
• Multilingual: currently supported languages are DE, EN, CS, SK, PL, FR, NL and TR (others are planned)

When to use the Web Form?

With finAPI’s Web Form 2.0 REST Services, we aim to provide the best possible version of the Web Form which customers can present to end-users to implement their use case. When to use the Web Form?

As a customer of finAPI services, regulatory requirements of the European PSD2 regulation (ZAG law in Germany) may apply to you (please consult your lawyer or national Regulator for Financial Services for advice).

If you do not have the permission/license of your national Financial Services Regulator to provide PSD2-relevant services, according to the German Regulator you must fulfill the minimum requirements to not process bank credentials or access banks directly. To allow finAPI customers without a Regulator PSD2 license to fulfill this minimum requirement, we have created the finAPI PSD2 Web Form. Please note, that additional regulatory requirements may apply to your business and that finAPI cannot provide legal advice. Here is an overview of the different regulatory permissions and their implications on the usage of the finAPI Web Form:

| Customer’s Regulatory permission | Web Form required for | | ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | No regulatory permission | - import/update bank connection- edit bank connection (editing end-user bank credentials)- execute SEPA Money Transfer (SCT)- execute SEPA Direct Debit (SDD) | | Payments (PIS/ZAD) | - import/update bank connection (batch updates)- edit bank connection (editing end-user bank credentials) | | Account Information (AIS/KID) | - execute SEPA Money Transfer (SCT)- execute SEPA Instant Money Transfer (SCT-Inst)- execute SEPA Direct Debit (SDD) | | Fully regulated (both AIS/KID + PIS/ZAD) | - optional (no Web Form required for any finAPI service) |
