Investec

Investec is an international specialist bank and wealth manager, dual-listed on the London Stock Exchange and Johannesburg Stock Exchange and operating through Investec plc (UK) and Investec Limited (South Africa). In the United Kingdom, Investec Bank plc is authorised by the PRA and regulated by the FCA and PRA and is an FCA-registered Account Servicing Payment Service Provider (ASPSP) under UK Open Banking, exposing Account and Transaction Information (AIS), Payment Initiation (PIS), and Confirmation of Funds (CBPII) interfaces built to the Open Banking Implementation Entity (OBIE) Read/Write API Standard (v3.1), secured with FAPI-grade OAuth2/OIDC, PSD2 strong customer authentication, and mutual-TLS using OBIE/eIDAS certificates. Investec is a specialist private bank and wealth manager rather than a mass-market retail bank, so it is not one of the CMA9 and does not operate a branch or ATM network. Alongside Open Banking, Investec runs a first-party Programmable Banking / Open API developer platform at openapi.investec.com offering Private Bank, Business & Commercial Banking, Intermediaries, Intermediaries Forex, and Card APIs secured with OAuth2 client credentials, published through the Investec Developer Portal at developer.investec.com.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Investec the way a machine reads it — 38 machine-readable artifacts across 3 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 — Investec scores 42.7/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 38/100 (agent ready). 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. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile Investec

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Investec. 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 34

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.

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.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Investec, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
