Demo Bank
Find out how to use Akahu's Demo Bank to test your integration
For non-production environments, Akahu offers a Demo Bank connection for application development and testing. Demo Bank can be used for both one-off and enduring connections. It is also possible to connect to Demo Bank in MyAkahu for Personal App development.
Demo Bank is useful for testing purposes, however it does not fully mimic the behavior of live connections. We strongly recommend that you test your application with real institutions before going live.
Connecting to Demo Bank
There are two ways to connect to Demo Bank:
-
For Personal Apps, you can connect by logging in to MyAkahu, navigating to the "Connections" page, and connecting Demo Bank. After Demo Bank is connected to your Akahu account, you must also select and share specific Demo Bank accounts with your Personal App via the "Developers" page.
-
For Full Apps, you can connect Demo Bank during the Akahu OAuth flow. Demo Bank will only be available as a connection for non-production environments.
When connecting to Demo Bank, you'll be prompted to enter a username and password. You may enter any value into these fields to continue. In order to simulate an incorrect credential error, the password "Password1" can be entered.
The next screen will simulate a multi-factor authentication screen by asking a simple math question. You must answer this question correctly to complete the connection flow.
