BEACON FCU MOBILE API INTEGRATION
============================
Structured account data access for Beacon Federal Credit Union's mobile banking app — built on member consent, not scraped credentials.
--------------------
INTRODUCTION
--------------------
Beacon Federal Credit Union serves members across La Porte, Baytown
and Seabrook in East Harris County, Texas, and runs its entire
retail banking experience — balances, transfers, bill pay and
mobile check deposit — through a single member login inside
Beacon FCU Mobile. For fintechs, lenders, budgeting apps and
accounting tools, that login is also the only door into a member's
real financial picture.
An API-style integration opens that door the right way: through
member-consented, token-based access modeled on the FDX standard,
or through documented protocol analysis where no consent flow is
published. Either path turns a closed mobile app into structured,
machine-readable account data — without ever touching a member's
password. This is the practical value of treating Beacon FCU
Mobile as an integration target rather than a dead end.

SUPPORTED API FEATURES
--------------------
• Member-consented token access modeled on the FDX interoperability
standard — no credential sharing, ever
• Protocol-analysis-based access path for surfaces with no published
consent endpoint, built under written member authorization
• Account enumeration across share (deposit) and loan account types
in one normalized response shape
• Transaction history retrieval with posting date, amount,
description and running balance
• Clear separation of read endpoints (balances, transactions, rates,
locator) from write/action endpoints (transfers, bill pay, card
controls), each with its own audit and idempotency handling
• Document-grade fallback via PC Branch online banking exports for
statements and periodic records
--------------------
USE CASES & APPLICATIONS
--------------------
[1] Small-business and consumer lending
• Pre-fill loan applications with 90 days of consented transaction
history instead of requesting paper statements
• Run cash-flow and income underwriting directly from posted
transaction data
• Speed up approval cycles for lenders serving the Baytown / La
Porte / Seabrook corridor
[2] Personal finance and budgeting apps
• Fold Beacon FCU balances and transactions into a single
multi-institution dashboard
• Categorize spending automatically from normalized posting data
• Track share and loan account balances side by side
[3] Accounting and bookkeeping tools
• Reconcile a nonprofit or small business's Beacon FCU transactions
against internal ledgers each morning
• Automate month-end statement matching using PC Branch document
exports
• Reduce manual data entry for treasurers and bookkeepers
[4] Treasury and balance-monitoring automation
• Watch share-account balance thresholds in near real time
• Trigger scoped, audited member-to-member transfers when
thresholds are crossed
• Apply idempotency-keyed logic so monitoring never double-posts
a transfer
[5] Account aggregation and data portability platforms
• Pull balances and transaction history into a unified financial
view alongside other credit unions and banks
• Support consumer-permissioned data sharing in line with the FDX
model and the direction of CFPB Section 1033
• Maintain a clean, revocable consent record per member
--------------------
BENEFITS & ADVANTAGES
--------------------
✓ No member password ever passes through the integration — token-
based, scoped, and time-boxed access only
✓ Built on the FDX standard, the widely used US framework for
consumer-permissioned financial data
✓ Read and write surfaces are architecturally separated, so data
pulls can never accidentally move money
✓ Normalized data model spans share and loan accounts, simplifying
downstream code
✓ Consent is fully revocable — when a member withdraws access, the
sync and token stop immediately
✓ Public, non-sensitive surfaces like rates and branch/ATM lookup
are served without touching the member session at all
✓ Maintenance built in from day one, with re-validation passes for
protocol-analysis paths when the app's front end changes
--------------------
SUBSCRIPTION PLANS
--------------------
• Source-code delivery — from $300, includes runnable API source,
documentation, and tests; pay only after delivery and approval
• Pay-per-call hosted API — no upfront fee; endpoints are hosted
and billed per call, ideal for teams that don't want to run
infrastructure themselves
• Most builds against an app of this size and shape close within
one to two weeks
--------------------
CONCLUSION
--------------------
Beacon FCU Mobile holds exactly the kind of per-member financial
data — balances, transactions, transfers, statements — that
lenders, budgeting apps and accounting platforms need, but it sits
behind a single consumer login with no public API. A member-
consented, FDX-aligned integration (backed by protocol analysis
where needed) turns that login into structured, auditable, and
revocable data access, without ever handling a member's password.

structured credit-union app, start the conversation now and get a
scoped timeline and runnable source in return.
