Overview

This node operation retrieves detailed information about a specific bank account using the AqBanking interface, which supports the FinTS/HBCI protocol commonly used by German banks. It is useful for scenarios where users need to obtain comprehensive account details such as account number, IBAN, bank name, and account owner information. For example, it can be used in financial applications to display account metadata or verify account details before processing transactions.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve detailed information for a specific bank account by providing the account number or IBAN.
  2. Use in financial dashboards to show account details fetched directly from the bank.

Properties

Name Meaning
Account Number/IBAN The bank account number or IBAN to query for detailed account information.
Bank Code (BLZ) Bank code (BLZ) required only if using account number instead of IBAN.
Additional Options Optional settings to simplify output, include raw output, limit max results, or specify output format (for export operations).

Output

JSON

  • accountNumber - The queried account number or IBAN.
  • iban - The IBAN of the account.
  • bic - The bank identifier code (BIC) or bank code (BLZ).
  • accountName - The name or owner of the account.
  • bankName - The name of the bank.
  • timestamp - The timestamp when the account information was retrieved.

Dependencies

  • AqBanking CLI tools or native FinTS client implementation

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the account number or IBAN is provided; otherwise, the node throws an error indicating the account number is required.
  • If the account is not found, an error is thrown indicating the account could not be located. Verify the account number or IBAN is correct and configured in the bank system.
  • Errors related to AqBanking CLI execution or native client failures may occur; enabling debug logging can help diagnose issues.
