Nordigen is a (always*) free banking API that takes advantage of the EU PSD2 regulations. They connect to banks in over 30 countries using real banking API's (no screen scraping).
Nordigen's API is an abstraction over the usual bank API's so that all data is in a consistent format. They also handle all the regulations required to get access to the data.
The client is built using the python api-client lib.
I found this info thanks to this site: https://www.bankapi.se/
* According to Nordigen's own website :)
Note: Nordigen was purchased by GoCardless in 2022. The API is still free to use, but the company is now called GoCardless. The API is still the same, but the branding has changed.
