Allica Bank

Allica Bank Limited is a UK financial-technology bank built specifically for established small and medium-sized businesses, offering business current accounts, savings, commercial mortgages, asset finance, and invoice finance. It is a privately owned, venture-backed challenger bank (not a mutual or building society), authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and PRA (FRN 821851), registered in England and Wales (company number 07706156). As an FCA-authorised ASPSP it participates in UK Open Banking under the Open Banking Implementation Entity (OBIE) Read/Write Standard and PSD2 - it is not one of the nine CMA9 mandated banks, but publishes a public developer portal exposing Account and Transaction Information (AIS), Payment Initiation (PIS), and Confirmation of Funds (fundsconfirmations) APIs for its Business Rewards accounts. Access is secured with FAPI-grade OAuth2/OIDC, PSD2 strong customer authentication, mutual-TLS client authentication, and dynamic client registration using Open Banking Directory / eIDAS certificates and Software Statement Assertions.

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.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Allica Bank the way a machine reads it — 10 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 — Allica Bank scores 46.3/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 81/100 (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 Allica Bank

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Allica Bank. 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.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Security 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.

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.
