Bridge API review
A bank-connectivity API for aggregating accounts, transactions and stock holdings.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Bridge API provides server-to-server open banking services for businesses adding bank connectivity to their products. Developers can create customer bank connections through Bridge Connect, then retrieve account details, transactions and investment stock holdings through API endpoints. The service also supports payment initiation and offers sandbox applications for development and testing. Its stated audience includes accounting, invoicing, fintech, payroll and other software providers, making it a fit for teams building financial-data features into their own services rather than looking for a ready-made banking dashboard.
The connection flow is a central part of the offer: customers can connect multiple banks in a single Bridge Connect flow, or businesses can create connect sessions through the API. The available data types include accounts, balances, transactions and stocks. Refreshing is described as on demand, and webhooks provide updates about account, transaction and item status. Those options give developers a way to request data and respond to status changes within their own application. Sandbox applications support development and testing before production access.
Bridge API uses a contact-sales pricing model, and production access for non-payment solutions requires contacting the team. That makes it less suited to developers who need a published price to compare plans or evaluate costs independently. It may suit businesses across small, mid-market and enterprise sizes that are prepared to work through a sales process and need bank connections alongside transaction and investment data. Teams looking for a self-serve integration with clearly published pricing, or a product with refresh intervals beyond on-demand retrieval, should consider alternatives.
Bridge API pros and cons
- Where it wins
- Connect multiple banks through one customer flow with Bridge Connect.
- Retrieve account details, transactions and investment stock holdings.
- Use API-created connect sessions, sandbox applications and status webhooks.
- Where it doesn't
- Production access for non-payment solutions requires contacting Bridge's team.
- Pricing requires contacting sales, so costs are not immediately clear.
- Data refresh is on demand rather than described as automatic or scheduled.
