Hi,

Are there any plugins/code examples for integrating from Ruby on Rails to one’s bank? In particular for a daily automated check of latest transactions (i.e. read only).

Thanks

Greg,

ActiveMerchant (www.activemerchant.org) is probably the best option for Rails integration with "commerce" stuff. I don't know how much what you are asking for is supported, though. I'd check with Braintree and TrustCommerce as I know both of them support some "bank" type transactions, but they may only be ACH.

Ultimately, I don't know if there is a standard API for reading bank account transactions, particularly since some banks implement their own systems.

You might check into Yodlee or other aggregator services... maybe they offer an API.
