What is Salt Edge?
The Salt Edge skill for Openclaw Skills provides a robust bridge between AI agents and over 5,000 financial institutions worldwide. By leveraging the Membrane framework, this skill abstracts the complexities of open banking protocols, allowing developers to interact with sensitive financial data through a unified and secure interface.
Built for the modern fintech ecosystem, this Openclaw Skills integration handles the heavy lifting of bank connectivity. It allows agents to retrieve real-time account balances, historical transaction data, and manage financial connections without manually managing complex OAuth flows or API keys, ensuring a secure and streamlined developer experience.
Salt Edge Use Cases
- Automating personal finance management and expense tracking by syncing bank transactions.
- Building automated credit scoring or financial health assessment tools for fintech applications.
- Enabling AI agents to verify account ownership and balances for secure payment initiation.
- Monitoring multi-bank portfolios through a single unified API interface.
- Streamlining tax preparation by categorizing financial data fetched directly from bank accounts.
How Salt Edge Works
- The agent initializes a connection to Salt Edge using the Membrane CLI to handle secure authentication.
- User authorization is managed via a hosted UI or terminal-based flow, resulting in a unique connection ID.
- The agent polls the connection status until it reaches a READY state, indicating successful bank link synchronization.
- Using natural language intent, the agent discovers specific Salt Edge actions such as listing transactions or accounts.
- Financial data is retrieved through structured actions or direct proxy requests, with Membrane automatically injecting the required headers and handling token refreshes.
Salt Edge Setup
To get started with Salt Edge for Openclaw Skills, install the Membrane CLI and authenticate your environment:
# Install the Membrane CLI
npm install -g @membranehq/cli@latest
# Login and specify your agent type (e.g., openclaw)
membrane login --tenant --clientName=openclaw
# Create a connection to Salt Edge
membrane connection ensure "https://www.saltedge.com/" --json
Salt Edge Data Schema & Taxonomy
The Salt Edge skill organizes data around three primary entities to ensure clarity and consistency across different banking providers:

| Accounts | Individual bank accounts (checking, savings, etc.) under a connection. | id, name, balance, currency, nature |
| Transactions | Individual financial movements within an account. | id, amount, description, made_on, category |
