Imagine if you could subscribe to events on your bank account, and receive notifications when these events occur. It would limit the need to poll your account, and decrease the number of manual checks by automating your payment processes. With ABN AMRO’s new Business Account Notification API, this is now a reality! With real-time notifications 24/7, you are now able to respond instantly when changes occur on your bank account.

Today, we proudly present our Business Account Notification API, in the experimental phase. It enables ABN AMRO business clients to receive subscription based notifications using webhooks. This API offers a range of alerts which enable you to automate cash management processes. These include setting triggers for when a specific payment is received or when your balance is hit by a certain amount.

Who will benefit from the Business Account Notification API?

The Business Account Notification API is a great fit for any company that wants to receive notifications on their accounts. The sky is the limit when it comes to use cases, and company size is irrelevant. Whether you are a large corporate entity managing the group balances of multiple operating companies, or a small to mid-size enterprise (SME) aiming to fully automate back-office processes, this API can work for you. It helps create relevant notifications, automate processes, and allows you to respond instantly to events on your ABN AMRO business account.

Events which trigger notifications are defined by you. You can add, change and remove the defined criteria with ease. These notifications activate machine-to-machine processes in your back-office. This setup allows you to fully control, optimize, and automate your internal processes, resulting in high efficiency. Think of the release of goods, integration into ERP systems, or instant cash management of your bank accounts. Isn’t this exactly what you have been looking for?

Experimental phase

Currently, the Business Account Notification API is in the experimental phase. This means a prototype is available for a select group of clients. The number of clients will expand more and more over time.

The main goal in this phase is to obtain valuable insights regarding usage, use cases, and experiences. Depending on the results and user interest, we will develop the Business Account Notification API into a product at a later point in time.

If you would you like to gain access or want to know about future developments, please contact us. By doing this you will be kept up to date on when new spots become available or when an early access version of this API is launched.

Our expectations for this API are high and we believe big things will happen by the end of the summer. Stay tuned and follow us on developer.abnamro.com!
