# Documentation

Column N.A. is the first nationally chartered bank created to serve developers and builders, offering financial capabilities in a developer first way.

We continue building as you build and your feedback is welcome! Honestly... tell us everything, the more critical, the better. We want to hear what you hate, what you like and what you want. It's been a labor of love and we hope you find it useful!

For feedback email us at <developers@column.com>. For technical support email us at <support@column.com>, and if you want to complain to the CEO (or say nice things), you can email me at <william@column.com>.



### Built on OpenAPI

Column's API is defined by an [OpenAPI spec](https://github.com/column/openapi). Use it to generate type-safe client SDKs in any language, import it into tools like [Postman](https://www.postman.com) or [Insomnia](https://insomnia.rest) to explore endpoints, or mock the API locally for testing. The spec is versioned, so you can pin your integration and track changes over time.
