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.

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Open (open.money) the way a machine reads it — 11 machine-readable artifacts across 10 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 27.0/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 10/100 (human only). 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 Open (open.money)

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Open (open.money). 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 10

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.
