Question of the Day: Have you ever ordered a product online and received a fake knock-off?
will banks allow anyone near their process?

I guess the short answer is NO.
What exactly do you need? Here's how I see it:
You need to check someone else's balance - not possible that confidential information.
You need to check your own balance - possible, just write a script to log into your internet banking.
You need to check if someone has the money to pay you for something (like a shopping cart on a website) - possible register as a merchant OR use something like paypal.

Banks run on a closed circuit. They do their own hosting and have their own data centres. Even though I suspect that they do have certain web services, everything is internal. So I doubt that they would have written a wrapper someone can use from the net to create their own type of service to lookup account info on the fly.
What you could so is write your own program that can import your bank statements that you download from internet banking and then from there be able to allocate accounts/expenses or whatever you want to do with that info. I've done Standard Bank and ABSA before but lost the code in the big format of 2006. Might still have it as a backup somewhere if I really looked at it, but the format of the export probably changed since then

Only webservices i know of is for the merchant accounts - kalahari etc
Also bear in mind that banks run old old software - they don't take kindly to extreme change.

Implementing the change is the stuff up - if one thing goes wrong and stops users from doing something - big balls up!! The bank loses money and customers and has to face all sorts of queries, etc...
