3. Integrate BBVA’s APIs into your company

If you are interested in going further and transforming your business using the BBVA APIs most suited to your needs, let’s start integrating them into the production environment.

This involves:

Due diligence process

We must confirm that your company is compliant with all applicable laws and regulations before we start working together. The first step is to complete the standard due diligence questionnaire.

We may ask for more information about the security of your company’s infrastructures and data, your treatment of your customers and their data and about your control processes, depending on your business model and the services you want to use. This may include PCI compliance for issues related to e-commerce, PISP for PSD2 payments and anti-money laundering policies.

We’ll also need to know if you’re going to use our brand and logo and, if so, how. And we will need a demo or description of your product.

Contract signature

When we have completed these steps, it is time to sign a contract with BBVA.




Access to production

Once the contract is signed, you’ll receive authorization to access our API production environment using a new password for a specific application ID.

We will check that your environment is properly configured technically to use BBVA APIs while we are doing our due diligence. We’ll do this by setting up your application and access to the APIs, and creating the test accounts you need.

4. Live launch

The time has come to launch your app or project using real data and to start benefiting from the results, boosting your business.
