Security is one of the premises of the BBVA Open APIs team. Eizaga emphasizes the process followed in integrating the BBVA Cards API: “End users will always have to enter their online banking credentials to give the developer access”.

There is a second security factor that implies that an SMS is sent to the end customer’s cell phone to authorize this operation. This authorization is not indefinite, but has a validity period and specific permissions are assigned.
