• Detailed technical specifications (i.e. swagger files) are located on the Hackathon portal

We have four APIs that collectively create a Bank in a Box. They emulate the backend of a financial institution and allow you to interact with banking accounts and perform normal transactions.

Hackathon	API Name	Description
	Core_Banking_API	Allow your users to review past transactions with the Core Banking API. You can retrieve a user’s transaction history for a number of U.S. Bank products, including checking, savings, and different credit products
	Money_Movement	The Money Movement API suite allows one to perform a variety of financial transactions into and out of different synthetic accounts to emulate real customer behavior: paying bills, depositing checks, purchasing items, etc
	CaaS_API	Allow a company administrator to manage its portfolio of virtual cards. It includes the ability to assign cards and review card usage
	Reference_API	This API provides methods to look up both the definitions of Merchant Category Codes and popular U.S. Bank product types.
