Secure browsers for financial data

Financial portals were not built for agents. Browserbase gives your fintech apps secure, isolated browsers to collect market data, download statements, and navigate banking portals reliably.

The Problem

Financial data lives behind logins

  • Market data scattered across portals with no APIs.
  • Bank statements locked behind MFA and session timeouts.
  • Portfolio data siloed across multiple brokerages.
  • Compliance documents buried in legacy dashboards.
  • Automation blocked by bot detection on financial sites.

The Solution

How Browserbase handles financial portals

  • Session persistence: stay logged in across runs with the Contexts API.
  • Secure isolation: each browser session runs in its own sandboxed environment.
  • File downloads: capture PDFs, CSVs, and statements.
  • MFA handling: persist authentication state to skip repeated verification.
  • Agent Identity: access protected financial sites without extra configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Browserbase secure enough for financial data?

Yes. Browserbase is SOC 2 Type II certified with full session isolation. Each browser runs in its own sandboxed environment, and you control what data is logged. We also offer self-hosted deployment for teams with strict compliance requirements.

How do I handle MFA on banking portals?

Use the Contexts API to persist authentication state across sessions. Complete MFA once, save the session context, and reuse it for subsequent runs. Your automation skips the MFA prompt as long as the session remains valid.

Can I download bank statements and PDFs?

Yes. Browserbase captures file downloads automatically. When your browser clicks a download link, the file is captured and made available via API. Works with PDFs, CSVs, Excel files, and any other download type.

How do I avoid getting blocked on financial sites?

Browserbase includes stealth capabilities like fingerprint management and residential proxies. Combined with session persistence and human-like navigation patterns via Stagehand, your automation can access financial portals more reliably.

What financial portals can my agents access?

Browserbase works with any web-based portal. Teams use it to collect data from brokerage platforms, banking dashboards, market data providers, regulatory filing databases, and internal financial systems. If you can access it in a browser, you can automate it.

How does Browserbase compare to financial data APIs?

APIs are great when they exist and cover what you need. Browserbase fills the gaps: portals without APIs, data behind logins, documents that only exist as downloads. Many fintech teams use both, with Browserbase handling the sources that APIs can't reach.
