Kinecta Mobile Banking API integration (OpenBanking & data export)

Deliverables checklist

• OpenAPI 3.1 specification covering accounts, transactions, transfers, Zelle, cards, eDocuments and rewards
• Protocol and authorization-flow report (login, MFA challenge, biometric token chain, refresh handling)
• Runnable Python and Node.js source for read endpoints, with async pagination and retry/backoff
• Postman collection plus pytest/Jest integration test suites with masked test fixtures
• Compliance pack: data-minimization map, scope matrix, consent log schema, retention policy
• Optional CFPB 1033 adapter that normalizes Kinecta responses into the standardized covered-data shape

Engagement models

• Source-code delivery from $300 — runnable adapter plus full documentation; pay after delivery upon satisfaction.
• Pay-per-call hosted API — call our hosted endpoints directly; usage-based billing, no upfront fee, ideal for proof-of-concept work.
• Optional managed service: monitored uptime, version pinning against Kinecta digital-banking releases, and quarterly compliance refresh.

1. Personal-finance aggregation

A neobank-style PFM tool wants to surface a member's Kinecta share, checking and credit-card data alongside accounts at other institutions. We deliver a Plaid-compatible adapter and a CFPB 1033-shaped fallback. Member consent is captured during a one-time link flow; refresh tokens rotate every 30 minutes; transaction pulls hit a rolling 24-month window with cursor-based pagination on the transactions.list endpoint.

2. SMB accounting & ERP sync

A small-business operator banking with Kinecta wants nightly delivery of postings into QuickBooks Online or NetSuite. Our worker calls accounts.balances and transactions.list at T+1 04:00 PT, exports to Quicken Web Connect format (already supported in Kinecta digital banking) or pushes JSON to the ERP webhook, and stores reconciliation hashes for audit.

3. Card-control automation for fraud response

A fraud-ops platform monitors card-not-present anomalies and needs to lock a card within seconds. Our cards.lock wrapper enforces consent scope, fires the underlying mobile-app action, and emits a webhook back into the SOAR runbook. Unlocks require step-up MFA and are logged with member, agent, and reason fields.

4. Tax-season eDocument retrieval

A tax-filing partner pulls 1099-INT and year-end statements directly from the Kinecta eDocuments vault. The integration auto-enrolls the member in eDocuments if not already opted in (with explicit consent), retrieves PDFs through edocs.fetch, and pushes hashed filenames into the partner's vault for chain-of-custody evidence.

5. Treasury & cash-position dashboards

A multi-account business member needs a unified cash-position widget. We poll accounts.list at 60-second cadence, fan out balance reads in parallel, and stream the result over Server-Sent Events to a treasury console. Pending Zelle and Bill Pay items are flagged separately so finance teams can decide what counts as available cash.

1. Member login & MFA

// Bind a Kinecta member to your tenant
POST /api/v1/kinecta/auth/login
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "tenant_id": "tnt_42",
  "username": "MEMBER_USER",
  "password": "MEMBER_PASS",
  "device_fingerprint": "fpr_8e1c..."
}

// Server may respond with a step-up challenge
200 OK
{
  "session_id": "ses_01J9...",
  "mfa_required": true,
  "mfa_channels": ["sms", "email", "biometric_push"]
}

POST /api/v1/kinecta/auth/mfa
{
  "session_id": "ses_01J9...",
  "channel": "sms",
  "code": "139402"
}

200 OK
{
  "access_token": "eyJhbGciOi...",
  "refresh_token": "rt_4b2c...",
  "expires_in": 1800,
  "scope": "accounts.read transactions.read cards.control"
}

2. Transaction export

# Python — fetch 30 days of transactions for a checking account
import httpx, datetime as dt

token = "eyJhbGciOi..."
end   = dt.date.today()
start = end - dt.timedelta(days=30)

resp = httpx.post(
  "https://api.openfinance-lab.com/v1/kinecta/transactions/list",
  headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"},
  json={
    "account_id": "acc_chk_001",
    "from_date": start.isoformat(),
    "to_date":   end.isoformat(),
    "include":   ["zelle", "bill_pay", "ach", "card"],
    "page_size": 200
  },
  timeout=30
)
data = resp.json()
for tx in data["items"]:
    print(tx["posted_at"], tx["amount"], tx["category"], tx["memo"])
# data["next_cursor"] continues the page chain

3. Card lock webhook

// Node.js — react to a card-lock event from your fraud SOAR
POST /api/v1/kinecta/cards/lock
Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "card_id": "crd_visa_4821",
  "reason": "suspected_skimming",
  "until": "2026-05-09T00:00:00Z"
}

// Webhook payload back to your endpoint
POST https://your-app/hooks/kinecta
{
  "event": "card.locked",
  "card_id": "crd_visa_4821",
  "actor": "automation:fraud-bot-7",
  "occurred_at": "2026-05-08T14:21:11Z",
  "reason": "suspected_skimming"
}

// Errors follow RFC 7807 problem+json
422 Unprocessable Entity
{
  "type": "https://docs.openfinance-lab.com/errors/scope_missing",
  "title": "scope cards.control not granted",
  "status": 422
}

Compliance & privacy

Every integration ships under explicit member authorization and is mapped to current US rules. The CFPB Personal Financial Data Rights rule finalized under Section 1033 of the Dodd-Frank Act in October 2024 defines covered data — account balances, at least 24 months of transactions, payment-initiation data, terms and upcoming bills — and we follow that taxonomy even where the rule itself is being reconsidered. We also align with the GLBA Safeguards Rule, NCUA member-data guidance, and California CCPA/CPRA for any member resident in California (where Kinecta is headquartered).

• Token vault with envelope encryption (KMS-backed, customer-tenant key separation)
• Consent log per member with revoke endpoint and 7-year retention map
• Scope matrix: read-only by default, write actions (transfers, card-lock) gated by step-up MFA
• Audit trail for every data pull, with hash chain for tamper evidence

Data flow / architecture

A typical pipeline runs in four stages and is intentionally simple to keep the audit story short:

1. Member device or member-authorized server initiates the consented call.
2. OpenFinance Lab adapter (Plaid bridge or direct CFPB 1033 adapter) translates the request into Kinecta's mobile JSON shape.
3. Storage tier: short-lived raw cache (≤ 24h) for retry and a normalized warehouse projection for analytics.
4. Downstream API or webhook delivers the result to the customer's ERP, PFM, fraud SOAR, or tax-filing system.

Engagement workflow

1. Scope confirmation: which Kinecta surfaces (balances, transactions, Zelle, cards, eDocuments, rewards) and which downstream system.
2. Protocol analysis and API design (2–5 business days, depending on MFA and biometric requirements).
3. Build and internal validation against authorized test member accounts (3–8 business days).
4. Documentation, sample code, and test cases (1–2 business days).
5. Typical first delivery: 5–15 business days end to end; partner approvals (Plaid, ERP webhook, etc.) may extend the timeline.
