Connect GitHub Copilot to GoCardless Bank Account Data
GitHub Copilot reaches GoCardless Bank Account Data through one Flowplane address. You add GoCardless Bank Account Data once in Flowplane, add that address to GitHub Copilot, and sign in. Read the balances and transactions of your linked bank accounts with your AI assistant, and start a new bank link that you approve at your bank.

Add GoCardless Bank Account Data in Flowplane
In the Flowplane console, add GoCardless Bank Account Data, paste the secret ID and secret key, and choose Connect GoCardless: it checks them at once.
GoCardless has no sign-in for outside apps. You create a secret ID and secret key in the Bank Account Data portal (User secrets), and the workspace adds the pair once, or a member just for themselves. The pair sees every bank link of that GoCardless account, so it belongs to no single person. Flowplane keeps it sealed; the assistant never sees it.

Ask GitHub Copilot
- “What is the balance on our KBC business account right now?”
- “List last month’s incoming payments above €1,000 on our main business account.”
- “Which of our bank links have expired or still wait for approval?”
- “Start a link to our account at KBC, with the approval pages in Dutch.”
What GitHub Copilot can do in GoCardless Bank Account Data
GoCardless Bank Account Data, the open banking service that was Nordigen, reads the accounts a company has linked at its banks, in Belgium and elsewhere. Through Flowplane an AI assistant can look up the balances and transactions of those accounts, the state of each bank link and the banks of a country. It can also start linking a new bank, which a person then approves at their own bank.

Questions
- Can the assistant move money or approve a bank link?
- No. It only reads balances and transactions. The one change it can make is to start a bank link, which waits for your approval by default; the link then does nothing until the account holder opens it and approves at their own bank. Nothing is ever deleted: ending a bank link is done in the GoCardless portal.
- Why does the bank sometimes refuse to answer?
- Banks limit how often an account is read, down to four calls a day per account and kind of call. The assistant asks for a whole date range in one go; if the limit is reached, try again the next day. A bank link also lasts 90 days unless agreed otherwise, after which it has to be made again.
- Can I still open a GoCardless Bank Account Data account?
- GoCardless currently has new sign-ups for Bank Account Data disabled. This connector is for companies that already have an account and its secrets.
- Does GitHub Copilot see the password or key for GoCardless Bank Account Data?
- No. The key for GoCardless Bank Account Data is pasted into Flowplane once and kept sealed there. GitHub Copilot only gets a Flowplane sign-in for you, which you can revoke in the console.
- Can GitHub Copilot change things in GoCardless Bank Account Data without asking?
- Not by default: every change in GoCardless Bank Account Data waits for your approval in the browser. Your workspace’s rules decide, per tool.
