info:
  title: Cross River Operating System (COS) Accounts Cards API
  description: 'The Cross River Operating System (COS) is a collection of RESTful APIs from Cross River Bank (an FDIC-member bank) for embedded finance and Banking-as-a-Service - deposit accounts, ACH, wires, instant payments (RTP / FedNow / CRNow), card issuing and management, lending, and customer management (KYC / onboarding). COS is organized around REST with object-oriented URLs and JSON responses, and uses OAuth 2.0 (client credentials grant) to issue a signed JWT Bearer access token that must be sent on every request.

    ACCESS MODEL: Cross River is a regulated bank and COS access is partner/enterprise-gated. Programs are onboarded via Cross River sales and a relationship manager, who provision client_id / client_secret credentials for the sandbox (https://sandbox.crbcos.com) and, after go-live, for production. The public production base URL is not published in the open documentation.

    GROUNDING NOTE: The paths, methods, and module base URLs in this document are grounded in the public Cross River developer documentation at docs.crossriver.com (as of 2026-07-12). Because the live sandbox is credential-gated, request and response BODY SCHEMAS below are MODELED representative structures, not copied from the credential-gated OpenAPI / Postman collection Cross River shares with onboarded partners. Verify exact field names and required properties against the official reference and the partner-provided collection.'
