Dynamic Client Registration (DCR)
Dynamic Client Registration (DCR)
Allows Third Parties to register their client with HSBC's Open Banking platform.
Key features
The Dynamic Client Registration (DCR) API allows authorised third parties to dynamically register OAuth 2.0 clients with HSBC's Open Banking Platform. It requires the Third Party to call an API and pass in a JWT containing a Software Statement Assertion (SSA). This allows the Third Party to provide HSBC with information about itself and receive a Client ID in return. The Client ID is required for the Third Party to interact with HSBC.
