This guide outlines the process for obtaining API access to a Jiko's sandbox environment and utilizing a private sandbox "customer" tenant.
Important Note: The sandbox environment is not linked to live payment networks, meaning it cannot process real funds or initiate actual payments (withdrawals or third-party transfers). Consequently, any approved transfer requests within this environment will not be executed.
Create a Sandbox account
Create your account via Jiko’s sandbox sign up page: https://authentication-portal.sandbox-api.jikoservices.com/sign-up
An email verification link will be sent to your email address.
This email is sent from no-reply@sandbox.jiko.com and invites you to click a verification link. For information, this link starts with https://authentication-portal.sandbox-api.jikoservices.com/sign-up/verify-email?confirmation_code=***).Once your email address has been verified, the following page will appear. You can now log into the sandbox environment.
Once logged in, the Jiko's onboarding page is displayed.
Accessing Jiko's sandbox environment does not require this onboarding form to be filled in/submitted, so simply notify us that you could successfully see this page, and we will complete the enablement process and create a private sandbox environment for you.
The Jiko team will also fund your sandbox customer account with a fake $ deposit:Jiko will create a pocket (a pocket represents a pair of bank account and brokerage account) and fund it with a fake $ amount, which will be automatically invested into fake T-bill holdings.
You can rename this pocket: click on the pocket in Jiko’s home page and then on “Edit pocket”.
You can also create other pockets, via Jiko’s UI (“Create pocket”) or API.
Three pockets were created in the example below:
