Telleroo

Telleroo is a UK bulk payments platform that automates supplier and payroll payments for businesses, accountants and bookkeepers. It provisions a ring-fenced e-money wallet in the customer's name and sends bulk Faster Payments 24/7 (including bank holidays), plus international payments in 25+ currencies over SEPA, ACH and SWIFT. Built-in fraud controls include Confirmation of Payee, new/updated payee alerts and multi-level approval workflows, and it integrates with accounting and payroll software such as Xero, QuickBooks, Employment Hero and Staffology. Telleroo exposes two RESTful APIs: a Business API (v1, token auth) for automating outbound payments from your own account, and a Partner/Embedded Payments API (v3, OAuth 2.0) for building pay runs into your own platform on behalf of client companies. Both support idempotent requests, real-time webhooks and a dedicated sandbox environment.

Telleroo publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Payments, Bulk Payments, Payroll, and Faster Payments.

The Telleroo catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Telleroo’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 22 more developer resources.

scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
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.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
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/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/telleroo: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
