Bank Australia
Bank Australia is a customer-owned (mutual) bank headquartered in Collingwood, Victoria, tracing its origins to the 1957 CSIRO Co-operative Credit Society and formed through the merger of more than 70 credit unions and co-operatives (via mecu and bankmecu) before adopting the Bank Australia name in 2015. As an APRA-regulated authorised deposit-taking institution (ADI) and a certified B Corporation, it is owned by its customers rather than shareholders and is known for responsible, fossil-fuel-free lending. Under Australia's Consumer Data Right (CDR / Open Banking), Bank Australia operates as a data holder: it exposes a public, unauthenticated Product Reference Data (PRD) API conforming to the Data Standards Body (DSB) Consumer Data Standards, and offers accredited-recipient consumer data sharing to eligible customers through its app and internet banking.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles Bank Australia the way a machine reads it — 11 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 — Bank Australia scores 42.8/100 (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.

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.

MCP SERVERSecurity 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.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
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.
