  title: bunq Public Attachment Card API
  description: 'Grounded, representative subset of the bunq Public API. bunq is a European (Dutch) neobank; its REST API lets account holders and licensed third parties read accounts, initiate SEPA and other payments, send and respond to payment requests, manage cards, export statements, upload attachments, and subscribe to event callbacks.


    IMPORTANT - bunq uses an unusual multi-step handshake before any business call can be made. All request/response bodies in the bunq API are wrapped in a top-level `Response` (list) envelope, and most responses also return a server signature. This document models the handshake plus a representative slice of the resource surface; it is NOT the full bunq API, which exposes hundreds of endpoints. Path segments such as `{userID}` and `{monetaryAccountID}` are numeric IDs returned by earlier calls. This spec is authored by API Evangelist from the public documentation at https://doc.bunq.com and is not an official bunq artifact; request/response schemas are simplified and several are modeled rather than copied verbatim.'
