Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Latin American Open Finance (Brazil OFB + Pix) | regulated | 56.4 | - | - |
| Argentine Fintech Registers (BCRA PSP + entities, CNV agents + PSAV, Cámara Fintech) | regulated | 56.4 | - | - |
| African Payments (Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana, WAEMU) | regulated | 56.4 | - | - |
| EU/EEA Payment and E-Money Institutions (PSD2 passports) | regulated | 56.4 | - | - |
| Brazil BCB Authorized Institutions (Banco Central do Brasil register beyond Pix) | regulated | 56.4 | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
Standards implemented 2
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
