## What you can build on FABeAccess

### Get the global cash position

Reads the Global Cash Position: the consolidated view of your accounts, deposits and loans at FAB and at other banks.

- Takes: Currency (optional)
- Returns: Bank, account, account type, currency, available balance, ledger balance, as-of time

### Get account transactions

Reads Transaction Enquiry for one account over a date range, with each transaction and its advice when there is one.

### Check cheque status and return advices

- Takes: Account number, from date
- Returns: Cheque number, amount, date, status, return reason

### Initiate a single payment

Creates a single payment or transfer to an existing beneficiary in FABeAccess and returns its reference and status.

- Takes: Debit account, beneficiary, amount, currency, payment details
- Returns: Transaction reference, status, amount, beneficiary

## Automate FABeAccess with a workflow

A [workflow](/product/workflows) 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.

### Morning Global Cash Position for the treasury team

Starts: Every weekday at 8:00 Gulf Standard Time

1. Get the global cash position across FAB and your other banks.
2. Group the balances by currency and total them.
3. Email you the totals with one line per account.

### Yesterday's transactions, posted to accounting

Starts: Every day at 7:00 Gulf Standard Time

1. For each account you name, get yesterday's transactions from Transaction Enquiry.
2. Keep the ones that were not there on the last run.
3. Post them to your accounting system's webhook for reconciliation.

### Returned cheques, flagged the same day

Starts: Every weekday at 15:00 Gulf Standard Time

1. For each account, check cheque status since yesterday.
2. Keep the cheques with a returned status, with the return reason.
3. Post each one to your ERP or team chat webhook.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

## Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a [method](/product/methods), 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.

## FABeAccess’s own options

First Abu Dhabi Bank runs AccessAPI, a developer portal linked from the FABeAccess sign-in page, with more than 65 APIs for accounts, payables, virtual accounts, beneficiary validation and trade finance. You register, review the documentation, connect to FAB's test environment and complete production onboarding with the bank before going live.

## 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.

### Can I initiate FABeAccess payments from my own code?
