Information for Third Party Providers (TPPs)

We have a dedicated compliant interface for TPPs to securely connect with the bank. It is provided through our Representational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface (API).

This includes services for:

  • Account Information Service Providers (AISPs)
  • Payment Initiation Service Providers (PISPs)
  • Card Based Payment Instrument Issuers (CBPIIs)

To support TPPs through this process we have an API testing facility (Sandbox) interface.

Please refer to the API technical specification for more information.

TPPs can contact the dedicated TPP team to ask any questions about the interface:
tpp.support@co-operativebank.co.uk

To access the sandbox and production interfaces you will need to be authorised or registered, (as appropriate):

  • by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK as an AISP, PISP or CBPII, or;
  • at least have applied to the FCA or a similar level of authority for authorisation.

You must also use these accepted certificates:

  • eIDAS QWAC
  • OBWAC
  • OBSEAL

We will work with TPPs who meet the above criteria to access our online payment accounts.

You can visit the token.io website to find out more about our Open Banking API, available as a sandbox.

We are signed up to the Fintech Pledge and the on-boarding process.
