GoCardless Bank Account Data
Nordigen was acquired by GoCardless in 2022 and rebranded as GoCardless Bank Account Data, a PSD2 Account Information Service covering banks across the European Economic Area — connect a user's bank through a redirect flow, then pull balances, transactions, and account details as JSON using a Bearer token exchanged from a user secret. A live probe of the real API host (bankaccountdata.gocardless.com) found no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header on either a GET or an OPTIONS preflight request. The historical free tier (up to 50 bank connections/month) still works for existing accounts, but per GoCardless's own support responses and multiple independent developer reports (Actual Budget, Invoice Ninja), the company quietly stopped accepting new Bank Account Data sign-ups around mid-2025 and now routes new applicants to enterprise sales — a significant caveat the current developer docs don't disclose.
