One-Click Disconnections for Third Party API Account Access

[alexs (Alex Sherwood)]

Hey Josh

It sounds like the team are thinking the same thing -

@nanos

However, I am still concerned that you suggest terminating the connection on your end only as exception and last resort (“Otherwise”, “If you’re not able to disconnect”), and make it quite difficult (contact support).

As I said above: In my opinion this should be done as a matter of course. (And consequently should be easy to do without contacting support.)

@simon

Absolutely agree, eventually we’ll have some kind of dashboard in-app that lets you do this. This will become a lot more important once banks start onboarding Payment Initiation Service Providers (PISPs) as you’ll want to know exactly who has mandates to move money out of your account (similar to how you can manage your direct debits now).

obviously they don’t mention one click disconnection but I’ve seen a comment from @simon that Monzo didn’t want the 3rd party to suddenly start seeing that they couldn’t connect to your account without knowing why. He must have said that in the Developer’s Slack as I can’t find it now so presumably it’s been archived
