GENERAL INFORMATION

The Balance Platform API enables you to create a platform, onboard users as account holders, create balance accounts, and issue cards.

For information about use cases, refer to Adyen Issuing.

Authentication

Your Adyen contact will provide your API credential and an API key. To connect to the API, add an X-API-Key header with the API key as the value, for example:

curl
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
...

Alternatively, you can use the username and password to connect to the API using basic authentication. For example:

curl
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-U "ws@BalancePlatform.YOUR_BALANCE_PLATFORM":"YOUR_WS_PASSWORD" \
...
