The best place to find these APIs is in the ProgrammableWeb directory. There, developers can find a few hundred testing services for providing random users, scenario testing, simulations, load and speed optimization, checking and debugging code, user experience, security checks, and all other manners of testing.

For Moorwand, Open Banking has allowed the company to help other FinTechs integrate payments capabilities into their own platforms. Its latest initiative includes a partnership with small business accounting firm Telleroo, which now enables its small business accountant users to make payments on behalf of their SMB clients thanks to a Moorwand integration.
