Tarabut Gateway Account Information connects customer bank accounts through an Open Banking consent journey and provides account data after permission is granted. Its Connect service supplies an embeddable URL that guides customers through bank selection, permissions, bank authentication, and consent. Available information can include accounts, transactions, direct debits, and beneficiaries. Transaction responses may include category and merchant details through Insights. Documentation says one year of transaction history is fetched by default, although available history varies by bank. Consent can be one-time or long-term; long-term consent lasts up to 12 months and is required for categorisation. Refresh frequency depends on the bank, while APIs can request updated balances and transactions. Connect supports English and Arabic. Customers can withdraw access at any time, and Tarabut says credentials remain with the bank. A free Portal account provides an isolated development sandbox. Tarabut presents Connect for personal finance, spend management, and lending flows, with API and web access.
