Secure Trust Bank

Secure Trust Bank PLC is an award-winning UK specialist bank, founded in 1952 in the West Midlands and headquartered in Solihull, providing savings accounts and specialist lending to over a million retail and business customers. It is a publicly listed company (London Stock Exchange: STB) rather than a mutual or building society, operating across Retail Finance (V12), Vehicle Finance, Real Estate Finance, Commercial Finance and personal Savings. It is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the PRA (FRN 204550). As a UK ASPSP under PSD2 and the CMA Open Banking framework, its account offerings sit against the Open Banking Implementation Entity (OBIE) standards - a public, unauthenticated Open Data reference surface (ATMs, branches, products) and the FAPI-secured Read/Write APIs for Account and Transaction Information, Payment Initiation and Confirmation of Funds. Secure Trust Bank is a specialist lender and not one of the nine CMA9-mandated banks; as of this review it publishes no public developer portal or bank-branded Open Banking developer host, so the API surfaces below reference the shared OBIE standard specifications the bank's regulated products conform to, not proprietary Secure Trust Bank API contracts.

agent native

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 Secure Trust Bank the way a machine reads it — 9 machine-readable artifacts across 4 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 — Secure Trust Bank scores 41.5/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 74/100 (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.

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 Secure Trust Bank

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Secure Trust Bank. 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 4

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.

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.

Scopes 1

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.
