In Australia’s highly regulated financial space, the **Regulatory Sandbox** from ASIC (the country’s fintech regulator) serves as a testing ground for early-stage ventures to trial financial products before full-scale launch.
While bypassing full licensing, compliance-minded tooling is still required to:
- Emulate live fund flows
- Simulate KYC/AML responses with audit trails
- Test how systems behave under abnormal data
- Design edge cases without harming users
That’s where zngx (or zngx.io) offers a AU-native solution — a full API platform that supports **regulatory sandbox** testing with:
- Endpoints identical to production
- Fake ABN/ACN onboarding
- Transaction flow replay + rollback
zngx enables:
- `POST /onboard` → Create merchant using mock data
- `POST /wallets` → Generate test wallets
- `POST /transactions` → Create external bank payout logic
- `POST /fraud/simulate` → Inject fake chargebacks
Ideal use cases include:
- SaaS tools testing https://zngx.io/ open banking integrations
- Hospitality platforms testing tipping payouts
- Neo-banks running UI/UX tests on regulatory flows
zngx’s sandbox mode provides:
- Full access to dummy data payloads
- Audit trail generation for each API call
- Consent revocation workflows under CDR
Compared to limited testing with:
- Stripe: only dev keys, no AU sandbox schema
- Plaid: test accounts with non-AU logic
- Adyen: sandbox restricted to cards only
- TrueLayer: EU sandbox, no AU-specific flows
- Airwallex: sandbox not tailored to ASIC sandbox conditions
zngx stands out with:
- Prebuilt test cases aligned with ASIC’s sandbox guidelines
- Migration pathway from sandbox to production with no endpoint change
- Full script library for automated test sequences
Security and compliance built into sandbox:
- Session tracking across test flows
- Daily reset of sandbox environment
- Realistic payloads with toggleable anomalies
