Pull your FABeAccess balances and statements into code

Read your Global Cash Position, account transactions and cheque status from FABeAccess with one API call each. Or have a workflow send your treasury team the cash position every morning and post yesterday's transactions to your accounting system.

Automate FABeAccess with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get the global cash position” would look like.

Example request
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "fabeaccess.bankfab.com/get_global_cash_position",
    "input": {
      "currency": "AED"
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "as_of": "2026-11-12T08:00:00+04:00",
    "accounts": [
      {
        "bank": "First Abu Dhabi Bank",
        "account_number": "XXXX-XXXX-1042",
        "account_type": "Current Account",
        "currency": "AED",
        "available_balance": 2481350.75,
        "ledger_balance": 2496350.75
      }
    ]
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

Signing in to FABeAccess

FABeAccess signs people in with a Corporate ID and a User ID, using corporate online banking credentials that FAB issues. With Fous, you sign in through FABeAccess's own sign-in with your own account. Your login is sealed with AES-256 and never returned by the API, and code and AI agents never see it.

Worth knowing

Credentials come from the bank
Access to FABeAccess uses corporate online banking credentials that FAB provides. You get them from FAB's support by phone or email.
Two IDs at sign-in
Each sign-in takes your company's Corporate ID and the person's own User ID. A method reads and does only what that User ID is set up for.
The cash position includes other banks
FABeAccess's Global Cash Position shows balances across FAB and other banks, so one call can cover more than your FAB accounts.
AccessAPI goes live through onboarding
On the developer portal, you register, establish connectivity to FAB's test environment and complete production onboarding before going live. The portal says its sandbox is coming in a next phase.
