AIB Group (UK)

AIB Group (UK) p.l.c. is a UK bank incorporated in Northern Ireland (registered number NI018800, registered office 92 Ann Street, Belfast BT1 3HH), authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority. It trades as Allied Irish Bank (GB) and Allied Irish Bank (GB) Savings Direct, and is the UK banking subsidiary of the Irish AIB Group plc. As one of the CMA9 banks mandated under the UK Competition and Markets Authority's Open Banking order, it runs a public developer portal publishing UK Open Banking APIs conformant to the Open Banking Implementation Entity (OBIE) standards - a public, unauthenticated Open Data API (v2.2) exposing personal current account, business current account, and unsecured SME loan product reference data, alongside the FAPI-secured Read/Write family (Account and Transaction Information, Payment Initiation, Confirmation of Funds, and Variable Recurring Payments to OBIE v4.0) accessed under OAuth2/OIDC consent with PSD2 strong customer authentication, dynamic client registration, and a sandbox for onboarding and testing before production.

agent native

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles AIB Group (UK) the way a machine reads it — 13 machine-readable artifacts across 10 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — AIB Group (UK) scores 42.3/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 63/100 (agent native). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

APIs 10

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
