Arf
Arf is a Switzerland-regulated liquidity and settlement platform for cross-border payments, providing short-term, receivable-backed, revolving working capital to licensed payment institutions and money-transfer operators. Its core product, Arf Liquidity, lets payment companies settle across any corridor 24/7 without prefunding destination accounts, using regulated real-world-asset-backed digital assets and stablecoins (including USDC) for native on-ramp/off-ramp value transfer and real-time treasury management. Arf is a compliance-first, VQF self-regulatory-organization member serving only licensed financial institutions, and partners with Circle, Stellar, and Visa. This profile was surfaced as a 500 Global portfolio company and enriched from Arf's public web presence; Arf does not currently publish a public developer portal or API.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles Arf the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, 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 — Arf scores 18.7/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). 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 Arf
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Arf. 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.
Security Posture 1
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.
