Konsentus

Konsentus is a UK-headquartered specialist provider of identity verification and trust services for open banking and open finance ecosystems. Its flagship Konsentus Verify SaaS API gives Financial Institutions (ASPSPs) real-time PSD2 Third-Party Provider (TPP) identity and regulatory checking against National Competent Authority registers across the EEA, validating eIDAS, OBIE, and OBHD certificates with the issuing Qualified Trust Service Provider. The Konsentus Certificate Chain Service keeps the eIDAS trust chain current, and the Konsentus Open Trust Platform plus advisory practice helps central banks and market operators stand up national open finance trust frameworks under PSD2, PSD3, and FiDA. Trusted by 250+ financial institutions globally.

agent ready

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 Konsentus the way a machine reads it — 20 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 — Konsentus scores 41.9/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 49/100 (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.

How we profile Konsentus

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Konsentus. 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 3

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.

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.

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.
