  Fidor Bank is a retired provider. Founded in Munich in 2009 as an early
  Banking-as-a-Service / open-banking pioneer (fidorOS / bankOS), acquired by
  Groupe BPCE in 2016, it ceased business operations in mid-2023 and entered
  liquidation. The developer portal (fidor.com) is now a parked GoDaddy for-sale
  domain; the sandbox and production API hosts (*.sandbox.fidor.com, *.fidor.de,
  api-docs.fidor.de) no longer resolve or present a valid certificate. No live
  status page, SLA, deprecation policy, or versioning policy survives, so no
  StatusPage or Deprecation canonical pointer is emitted.
