Sandbox | Model Bank ​

To support onboarding and early development, a Model Bank has been deployed within the sandbox environment. This simulated Licensed Financial Institution mirrors the structure and behavior of a real LFI, providing TPPs with a safe, compliant space to test their end-to-end integration flows.

The Model Bank is registered in the Trust Framework and exposes Authorization Servers, discovery endpoints, and Open Finance APIs — just like any production LFI. TPPs can use it to:

  • Explore API discovery via the .well-known endpoint
  • Test registration with real (sandbox) software statements
  • Validate certificate-based authentication and mutual TLS setups
  • Simulate consent flows, account access, and payment initiation

Model Bank Discovery ​

The .well-known endpoint for the Model Bank is:

https://auth1.altareq1.sandbox.apihub.openfinance.ae/.well-known/openid-configuration

The .well-known endpoint exposes the following critical information values:
