They generally do. But many UK banks make it hard to automate things. Either insisting on 2FA in all cases, or having a secondary login without 2FA that only gives very limited access.

Some way of authorising API access to read-only access to things like statements would be fantastic, to the extent that I'd consider changing banks over it, if you know of any UK banks that offer it.

As well, most bank OFX/CSV exports I've dealt with are truncated in some ways (e.g. truncated labels), which make it harder to really leverage sometimes.

Monzo will be offering current accounts soon.

Ahh of course. Apologies for missing that.

The format isn't the issue. The problem is I want it to be API-friendly so I don't even have to think about it; my system should download it automatically.

But yes, I'm talking about the US.

My bank offers that, but it costs I believe ~$15 a month.
