  Golden 1 Credit Union is a state-chartered, member-owned not-for-profit
  financial cooperative headquartered in Sacramento, California, and is one of
  the largest credit unions in the United States, serving roughly 1.1 million
  members across California with approximately 20 billion dollars in assets.
  Founded in 1933 and open to all Californians, it offers consumer checking,
  savings, credit cards, auto and home loans, and digital banking, and holds the
  naming rights to Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. Like most US credit unions,
  Golden 1 publishes NO public developer portal and NO first-party public API;
  its digital banking runs on a core-provider platform, and consumer-permissioned
  account data is reachable only indirectly through third-party data aggregators
  (Plaid, MX, Finicity, Akoya) rather than a documented first-party open-finance
  API. US open finance is voluntary and fragmented, and this institution's public
  API surface is honestly empty as of this record.
