# Tesco Bank

## Links

* [Developer Portal](https://www.tescobank.com/developer/)

## Scopes

* Account Information 🔒
* Payment Initiation 🔒

## Live Environment

**Precondition**: To connect to live Open Banking entities, whether you are accessing account information or initiating payments, your business must have the right regulatory permissions as per the [Open Banking Guide](/tools-and-services/open-banking/enrolment-guide).

1. Upload your transport and signing certificates (PEMs) created in the Open Banking directory, along with the keys into Yapily's [certificate vault](https://console.yapily.com/certificates).
2. Add *Tesco Bank* to your Dashboard application and add your `Signing key Id`, which can be obtained from the Open Banking Directory.
3. Select your Open Banking transport and signing certificates from the relevant drop-downs lists then click *Next*.
4. **Click to register** to auto-register with the bank. If registration is successful, the key and secret will be populated from the institution's response.
5. Make sure to click *Save* in order not to lose these credentials, as a further registration attempt with the same Open Banking software statement is likely to fail. If you require technical support with certificate management, feel free to contact us at [developers@yapily.com](mailto:developers@yapily.com)

**Note:** The TPP has 5 minutes from when SCA is performed to retrieve all data within the consent. The exceptions to this are the balance and the last 90 days of transactions, which Tesco would return even if SCA hadn't been done in the last 5 minutes. (Tesco would ask for authentication for balance and 90 days of transactions if it was the first time they were requested, or if no SCA had been done for 90 days.)

## Sandbox Environment

To connect to the Tesco Bank sandbox, follow the above steps while selecting *Tesco Bank* from the sandbox tab in step 2. The institution Id for this is `tescobank-sandbox`.
