Algbra
Algbra is a UK values-based, sustainability-focused fintech operated by Algbra FS UK Limited (company number 12629086), an electronic money institution authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority under the Electronic Money Regulations 2011 (FRN 952360); its parent, Algbra Group Limited, is a certified B Corporation. Rather than a licensed clearing bank or building society, Algbra is a challenger provider of ethical multi-currency accounts, cards, savings and Banking-as-a-Service infrastructure. Through the Algbra Labs developer platform it exposes two API surfaces - a first-party Partner Banking (BaaS) API for onboarding, accounts, cards, payments and transactions, and a UK Open Banking dedicated interface conformant to the Open Banking Implementation Entity (OBIE) Read/Write Standard v3.1.8 covering Account & Transaction Information (AIS), Payment Initiation (PIS) and Confirmation of Funds (CBPII), delivered via the Tell Money (Tell Connect) platform. As a non-CMA9 ASPSP it meets PSD2 access-to-account obligations, securing the interface with FAPI-grade OAuth2/OIDC, mutual-TLS using OBIE OBWAC/OBSEAL eIDAS certificates, PS256 request-object signing, Dynamic Client Registration (DCR v3.2) and PSD2 strong customer authentication.
Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.
API Evangelist profiles Algbra the way a machine reads it — 12 machine-readable artifacts across 4 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 — Algbra scores 53.4/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 68/100 (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.
How we profile Algbra
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Algbra. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 4
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.

Arazzo Workflows 2
Real integrations are rarely a single call. Arazzo describes the multi-step sequences — auth, then create, then confirm — so both a human and an agent can follow the choreography, not just the endpoints.

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

ASYNCAPISecurity Posture 3
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Scopes 1
OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.
OAuth scopes governing access to this provider's APIs.
Agentic Access 1
An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
