PIK provides a full sandbox environment that mirrors production functionality. No real funds are ever moved. Use it to build and test your integration end to end before switching to production credentials.

Sandbox Limitations

  • Sandbox does not connect to real banking networks or live blockchain networks
  • Simulated stablecoin transactions do not appear on any live blockchain — no real network activity occurs
  • Simulated AUD transfers do not go through the Australian banking system
  • Sandbox data is reset periodically — do not rely on it for long-term persistence
