To connect your Banco Inter Empresas account to Pluggy, you first need to create a data-sharing authorization inside Inter's own Internet Banking.
This authorization is done by creating an API integration within your account.
After creating this integration, Banco Inter will provide:
- Client ID
- Client Secret
- Key file ("Chave Key")
- Certificate ("Certificado")
These four pieces of information will be used to connect your Inter Empresas account with Pluggy.
Information required for the connection:
- Client ID
- Client Secret
- Key file (.key)
- Certificate file (.crt)
(see figure):
