The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT use outside tools. BankingMCP makes your GLS Bank account available as an MCP server, so your assistant looks up balances and transactions directly instead of you uploading bank statements.

Does BankingMCP support GLS Bank?

Yes. GLS Bank is listed in the bank directory with a XS2A (PSD2) interface, which is how BankingMCP connects. The live check on this page confirms your exact institution.

Do I need to install an app to use GLS Bank with Claude Code?

No. BankingMCP runs in the browser on any computer or phone. You connect GLS Bank once, then add one address to Claude Code.

Does my assistant see my GLS Bank balance?

Yes, along with your transactions. Your assistant reads the balance when it asks, together with the time GLS Bank last delivered it.

How up to date are my GLS Bank transactions?

Your assistant fetches your balance and transactions with every question and gets them as GLS Bank last delivered them, with a timestamp. If the GLS Bank consent expires, it only sees the last state until you log in again – and tells you so.

Can I use GLS Bank together with other banks?

Yes. Connect up to 50 accounts across several banks, personal and business. Your assistant answers across all of them, and the price stays at €5 a month.

What do I need to log in to GLS Bank?

GLS Bank's own login form asks for: VR-NetKey oder Alias and PIN. You enter them at GLS Bank, not at BankingMCP and not in the chat.

Does my assistant see my GLS Bank login?

No. You log in at GLS Bank in its own web form. Neither BankingMCP nor your assistant ever receives your PIN, password or TAN.

Do I need programming skills to use GLS Bank with Claude Code?

No. You connect GLS Bank in the browser and add one address to Claude Code. Every assistant has a step-by-step guide.

Can my assistant transfer money from my GLS Bank account?

No. The connection is read-only and has no payment tool. Payments are planned as a separate feature, where you approve every transfer in your own banking app.

What happens if I want to cut off access?

Each assistant has its own address. Deactivate or remove the one you gave Claude Code and it stops working immediately, without touching your other assistants.

Connecting GLS Bank through regulated bank access

Read-only. Over MCP your assistant only gets read tools: it can list accounts, read balances and search transactions. There is no payment tool in this connection.
You log in at GLS Bank itself. Access runs through finAPI, a PSD2-licensed account information service, and your banking credentials never reach BankingMCP.
BankingMCP doesn't keep your balances and transactions; it fetches them for each question your assistant asks. Only account details and an access log, kept for 90 days, are stored.
Every assistant gets its own address. Deactivate one and its access to your GLS Bank account stops immediately.
