Hanseatic Bank is a credit card bank

Hanseatic Bank, owned by Société Générale and the Otto Group, is known for credit cards such as the GenialCard and GoldCard, and for loans. When you connect your card account, your assistant sees its balance and card transactions.

That's handy for questions a card statement answers slowly: what a trip cost, which foreign payments went through, which subscriptions run on the card. Hanseatic Bank asks you to approve the login in its Hanseatic Bank Secure app.

Connecting Hanseatic 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 Hanseatic 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 Hanseatic Bank account stops immediately.
