API access to Monzo Plus accounts from other banks

rc0000 · 8 November 2020 12:49

If you are using a Monzo Plus or Premium account and connect other accounts such as Amex / HSBC etc are these accounts also accessible using the Monzo API?

Specifically:

Are they returned in the a ccount list: https://docs.monzo.com/#accounts
Can you access the transactions: https://docs.monzo.com/#transactions
Can you also make use of webhooks on these accounts?

I don’t believe they are, it’d be very handy if they were though

Unfortunately this is not currently possible!

misterm · 9 November 2020 17:13

Not possible as in the API doesn’t currently expose this, or not possible as in there are regulations which would prevent you from ever doing this through the API ?

tjvr · 9 November 2020 17:20

Our API doesn’t currently include this. I don’t know if we’ll do this in future, sorry!

Good news that it’s not been ruled out then

That’s a shame, I came here hoping to find the answer to this. I have my credit card added via Open Banking and wanted to put money in a pot every time I spent on the credit card so I can pay it off from that pot every month.

If your credit card app produces notifications (more seem to be doing this, thankfully) and you’re on Android, you can do this via IFTTT.

I have it for my Amex; (1) each purchase is recorded on a Google Sheet, and (2) Each new record generates a “put this money in the Amex pot” action.

That’s a shame, I’d really love this feature for my personal finance app.

I would love this feature too! Right now I’m thinking of combining the Amex API and Monzo API together somehow, but ideally i would it all be under one roof

Do let me know if you managed this - it seems to me that the AMEX API requires a business to be authorised (or having applied for authorisation) with the regulator in your country. I’m UK based, so that would be the FCA, and the application process is lengthy and highly unlikely to get approved for a tiny personal task like this.

Would really like this feature as well - i.e. to access transactions from linked accounts via Monzo API. Is there update on whether this will be added please?

I would love this feature to be implemented too, if anything to add shared transactions from Amex to Shared Pots on Monzo.

I would also love to see this feature. When I signed up for Premium, I was actually pretty surprised that this data wasn’t available.

I thought, at the very least, that the balances would be available.

Please expose other accounts in the API, would definitely pay for premium just for this

Deitrix · 24 October 2022 08:35

Would also pay for premium if this was a feature
