Open (open.money)

Open is one of India's leading SMB neobanks, pioneering "connected banking" - a unified business finance platform that layers payments, automated reconciliation, accounting, payroll, expense management, vendor payouts, and GST-compliant invoicing on top of partner-bank current accounts (ICICI, SBI, Axis Bank, Yes Bank and 20+ others). Beyond its SMB application, Open also ships an embedded-finance / Banking-as-a-Service stack branded as Zwitch (zwitch.io), which exposes the same connected-banking primitives - virtual accounts, payouts via NEFT/IMPS/RTGS, UPI collect and intent flows, the Layer hosted payment gateway, beneficiary management, PAN/bank/VPA verification, webhooks, and split settlements - as REST APIs for fintechs and platforms that want to embed account-to-account payments and Indian payment rails into their own products. Open's broader portfolio also includes BankingStack (white-label connected banking for partner banks), the Open Capital lending product, and a suite of e-commerce plugins (WooCommerce, Magento, OpenCart, PrestaShop, CS-Cart, WHMCS) plus PHP, Java, Node.js, iOS, and Android SDKs for the Layer payment gateway.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Open (open.money) the way a machine reads it — 24 machine-readable artifacts across 12 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 — Open (open.money) scores 42.3/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 44/100 (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 Open (open.money)

APIs 20

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.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Open (open.money), 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.
