🚀 Building a Secure Banking API with Node.js & Express

🔐 Security and efficiency are critical in banking applications! I just built a Banking API using Node.js, Express.js, MySQL, JWT, and bcrypt.js to handle user account management, authentication, and transactions securely.

💡 Key Features of the API:

✅ User Registration – Each user gets a ₦1,000,000 initial balance 💰

✅ Phone as Account Number – The user’s phone number serves as their account number 📲

✅ Secure Authentication – JWT tokens for secure login & session management 🔑

✅ Admin Login & Control – Admins can manage accounts 👨‍💼

✅ Transaction Management – Balance inquiry, deposits, and withdrawals 💵

✅ Password Reset via OTP – Users receive a one-time password (OTP) via email 🔄

✅ Email Notifications – For account verification and important transactions 📩

🔍 Tech Stack Used:

📌 Node.js + Express.js – Backend framework

📌 MySQL – Database for storing user and transaction details

📌 bcrypt.js – For secure password hashing

📌 jsonwebtoken (JWT) – Secure authentication

📌 nodemailer – Sending emails for verification & password reset



💬 What security measures do you think are most important in online banking? Let’s discuss in the comments! 👇
