Tarabut Gateway Account Information
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
What it is
Tarabut Gateway Account Information connects customer bank accounts through an Open Banking consent flow and makes account data available after permission is granted. Its Connect service provides a URL that businesses can embed in an application; customers use it to select a bank, set permissions, authenticate with that bank, and consent. Available data can include accounts, transactions, direct debits, and beneficiaries. Transaction responses may include category and merchant details through Tarabut Insights. Documentation says one year of transaction history is fetched by default, though the amount available can vary by bank. Consent may be one-time or long-term, with long-term consent capped at 12 months; categorisation requires long-term consent. Refresh frequency depends on the bank, while APIs can request refreshed balances and transactions. The Connect journey supports English and Arabic. Tarabut says bank authentication stays with the bank and credentials are not shared with Tarabut or the customer-facing business. Customers can withdraw access at any time. A free Portal account provides an isolated development and testing sandbox; production pricing is available on request.

It suits businesses building personal finance management, spend management, or lending flows that use bank account data. Developers can use the free Portal sandbox for app development and testing before seeking production access.
