Overview

Metamap's Bank Account Data provides instant access (with user consent) to bank account data such as raw transaction history (3 to 12 months), balance, account, and identity information & enriched data (transaction categorisation and income verification)

Availability

We currently support the most popular and top banks and financial institutions across Latin America, Africa and South East Asia.

• Check our list of supported institutions for more information.
• This can be integrated through our (1) mobile & web SDKs and through (2) direct link.

Features

• Instant access to bank account financial data

  Users can login using their bank account credentials to securely and accurately share all of their financial data stored within their account instead of filling out long forms.

• Access to structured bank account data

  With our Bank Account Data merit, once your users provide bank account credentials or financial documents, Metamap sends you their financial information in a consistent and easily digestible data format. The data will be returned in a single call and will cover data such as: Identity, Accounts, Transactions and Balance.

• Enriched transaction data

  By analysing the transaction history data (3 to 12 months) we are able to categorise each transaction (into 60+ categories), understand income sources, track spending patterns over months and more.

• Identity verification

  With the account information verified by the financial institution the name, phone number and email can be compared with other Metamap or external sources to verify that your user is who they say they are.

How it works

As a first step, users are provided with a variety of methods where they can share access to their financial data. They are provided with explanations relating to how their data will be accessed and used. With their consent, this data is then parsed, extracted and enriched and returned in a variety of formats.

Setup

There are 3 main steps to set up the Bank Account Data merit:

1. Setup your metamap on the dashboard
2. Use our quick start integration steps
3. Review the verification results

Step 1: Setup a Metamap

The first step to setting up a Bank Account Data merit is to create a new metamap in the Dashboard. Once you've created a new metamap, add the Bank Account Data product to the user flow, and enable the countries that you want to support.

Step 2: Integrate

Currently you can use Metamap's Bank Account Data in two ways:

1. Metamap Button — Integrate our MetaMap Button SDK into your application to use our prebuilt UX
2. Direct Link — Receive a URL link that you can send to your users

Integrate our MetaMap Button via SDK

Use our SDK integration if you want to use Metamap's verification tools but design your own experience for your users.

Here's what your users will see if you use Metamap's prebuilt UX:

To implement this:

1. Setup the metamap for Bank Account Data in the dashboard
2. Install and implement an SDK framework

Integrate via Direct Link

If you are not a developer, or you don't have the resources to integrate at this time, you can start using the product in minutes without any code with our Direct Link.

To implement this:

1. Set up the metamap for Bank Account Data in the dashboard
2. Get the Direct Link
3. Send the Direct Link to your users

Step 3: Process verification results

There are two main ways to visualize and use the data

• Dashboard Verification Results

  In the dashboard, visit the Verifications tab, and click on a Verification to review the results.

• Webhook verification results

  You will need to configure your webhooks, then handle the webhook responses that will be sent to your webhook URL.
