What it is

OAuth2 is an authorization framework that lets an application obtain a scoped, time-limited access token to act on a resource owner’s behalf, without handling their credentials directly.

Where it applies at Credicorp

OAuth2 is not used on the public ring — that surface is keyless by design. It comes into play on the partner API, where account-level and money-moving operations require an authenticated, scoped actor. If your integration needs those, see the partner OAuth2 docs and moving from the public API.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need OAuth2 for the public ring?

No. The public ring uses no credentials at all. OAuth2 applies only on the authenticated partner surface.
