Tangerine

Tangerine is a Canadian direct (branchless) bank headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, and a federally regulated Schedule I bank chartered as Tangerine Bank (institution number 614). Founded in 1997 as ING Direct Canada, it was acquired by Scotiabank in 2012 and rebranded as Tangerine in 2014; it remains a separate legal entity operating as Scotiabank's digital-banking arm, serving roughly two million clients with no-fee chequing and savings accounts, GICs, mortgages, mutual funds, and a cash-back Mastercard delivered entirely through mobile and web. On API and open-finance posture, Tangerine publishes no first-party public developer portal or downloadable API specifications; Canada has no operational consumer-driven-banking mandate yet (the federal framework is legislated but not live), so third-party access to Tangerine account and transaction data today is aggregator-based via Plaid and Finicity (Mastercard) rather than through a documented first-party API.

Tangerine is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Financial-Services, Banking, Canada, Digital Bank, and Neobank.

Tangerine’s developer surface includes support, engineering blog, signup flow, and 6 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Banking & Open Finance regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
