bunq

bunq is a European (Dutch) neobank offering personal and business accounts across the EU. Its Public API is a REST API over HTTPS (https://api.bunq.com/v1, sandbox https://public-api.sandbox.bunq.com/v1) that lets account holders and licensed third parties read accounts, initiate SEPA and internal payments, send and answer payment requests, manage cards, export statements, upload attachments, and subscribe to event callbacks. bunq uses a distinctive multi-step handshake - installation (register an RSA public key), device-server, then session-server - after which requests are RSA-signed with X-Bunq-Client-Signature and authenticated with a session token in X-Bunq-Client-Authentication.

bunq publishes 9 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Attachment API, Card API, Customer Statement API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Banking, Neobank, Payments, Account, and SEPA.

bunq’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, sandbox, pricing, engineering blog, and 13 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Banking & Open Finance regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.
