Australian Unity Bank

Australian Unity Bank Limited is the banking arm of Australian Unity, a member-owned Australian mutual founded in Melbourne in 1840 with origins in the friendly-societies movement and a group spanning health insurance, wealth management, aged and home care, retirement living, and banking. The bank traces to Big Sky Credit Union, which merged with Australian Unity in 2012, became Big Sky Building Society Limited, and was later renamed Australian Unity Bank Limited; it offers everyday transaction and savings accounts, term deposits, and home loans to members as an APRA-authorised deposit-taking institution (ADI) covered by the Financial Claims Scheme. On its Consumer Data Right (CDR / Open Banking) posture, Australian Unity Bank is a genuine ADI and operates a real CDR Open Banking gateway at open-banking.australianunity.com.au (CloudFront-fronted), which as a mandated data holder exposes the full DSB Consumer Data Standards (CDS) Banking API surface under the /cds-au/v1/banking prefix - the public Product Reference Data (PRD) endpoints plus the consumer-authorized Accounts, Balances, Transactions, Direct Debits, Scheduled Payments, and Payees endpoints. A July 2026 probe from a non-AU IP returned HTTP 403 across x-v 1-4 (typical WAF / geo / accreditation gating on CDR hosts), so payloads could not be captured verbatim, but the host resolves and responds - confirming Australian Unity as a live data-holder surface. The bank publishes no separate first-party developer portal or open-banking API documentation beyond CDR (its api.australianunity.com.au host serves only a webMethods Integration Server admin page, not documented APIs); the API contract is the shared DSB Consumer Data Standards.

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 Australian Unity Bank the way a machine reads it — 12 machine-readable artifacts across 7 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 — Australian Unity Bank scores 42.0/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 65/100 (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 Australian Unity Bank

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Australian Unity 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 7

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.

Model Context Protocol servers that expose these APIs to AI agents.

Security Posture 2

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.

SECURITY

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.
