After being the first bank to launch its public API, bunq now adds OAuth as an extra safety measure!
OAuth (or Open Authorization) is a protocol that allows apps to be connected to your bunq account in a safe way and gives you the option to build new applications and get access to specific data without having to exchange user names and passwords.
