description: Coventry Building Society is the United Kingdom's second-largest building society, a member-owned mutual founded
  in 1884 and headquartered in Coventry, England, offering savings and residential mortgages to millions of members and in
  January 2025 completing its acquisition of The Co-operative Bank. As an FCA-authorised and PRA-regulated deposit-taker and
  Account Servicing Payment Service Provider (ASPSP), it participates in UK Open Banking under PSD2 and the Open Banking Implementation
  Entity (OBIE) standards. It is not one of the CMA9 mandated banks, but operates a public developer portal at developer.coventrybuildingsociety.co.uk
  that publishes CBS v2.0 Open Banking APIs - Account Information Services (AIS), Payment Initiation Services (PIS), and Confirmation
  of Funds (CBPII) - conformant to the OBIE Read/Write API Standard, alongside a public FCA Service Metrics open-data endpoint
  and a sandbox for TPP onboarding. Read/Write access is secured with FAPI-grade OAuth2/OIDC, PSD2 strong customer authentication,
  and mutual-TLS using Open Banking WAC or eIDAS QWAC certificates, with registered TPP onboarding handled via open.banking@thecoventry.co.uk.

  description: Public, unauthenticated OBIE Open Data endpoint publishing FCA service metrics for personal current accounts
    at Coventry Building Society (CBS v1.0). Live JSON host confirmed responding at the documented base URL; at review time
    the /pca endpoint returned an HTTP 500 JSON error rather than a 200, so a successful data payload was not confirmed.
