Which banks are supported by Snoop?

There are lots of plans and industry discussions about extending out API access to other products - both within the existing areas that Open Banking covers today, but also a wider set of products and areas. These are summarised in the Government’s ‘Smart Data’ roadmap. See here:

However, we don’t have any firm dates for when (or if) specific banks will be extending Open Banking access out to wider savings products. We will certainly be looking to support them when they do.

Thanks for the pointer. That doc though is long on ambition and short on concrete - the only solid thing I could see in there was a pilot of VRP extension.

Oh well, we watch, we wait and watch.

Any changes considering YBS ?

Sorry no update to share on this one @samturner671 and we don’t have any target date for this one I’m afraid.

Any update on moneybox addition?

Sorry we have no news on any upcoming integration with moneybox.

Hi @sanjeevgopal only item (1) on your list is covered by a regular Open Banking connection and we only use that method to connect with banks.

So items 2-13 would need to be managed as Offline accounts.

We don’t have any timescales to share on number 1 I’m afraid but we will update in here if that connection becomes available

Paul

Actually @sanjeevgopal … you mention you have a ‘current account’ with Trading212 and if that was the case it would fall under Open Banking regulations.

However, I don’t think that provider offers Current Accounts so they also don’t have an Open Banking API that we could connect with. Maybe you have some sort of broker or savings account?

Hi

Any plans to support ZOPA Current Account?

Hi @ltom

This is not something we have the ability to connect to yet, it looks like Zopa is still in Beta phase for their current account.

Once they have a Open Baking API we would be able to connect to them.

Many thanks,
Sarah

It looks like Zopa do have an API

@paul_k About the pensions, current accounts and Open Banking …

A friend uses Lumio and commented that they’d got one of their pensions in it, which sounded useful. In this case it was PensionBee.

How does Lumio manage to get this?

And could Snoop do it? … I’ve also got a PensionBee account, and it’d be useful as I’m looking to start drawdown payments from it, so would be great to track it

Hi Steve

Many firms like PensionBee believe in the principles of Open Banking and provide their own APIs (technical interfaces) to allow 3rd party services to connect with some of their services.

However, unlike the UK Open Banking standards that cover Current Accounts, Credit Cards and some Savings Products, there is no such common standard or approach (yet) for other financial products.

That’s exactly the direction the regulators, government and the industry is heading - see here:

For now, Snoop connects with only UK standard APIs and don’t have custom/bespoke APIs to other services.
