# Sandbox

The **sandbox** environment is not connected to either KYC or actual banking rails, which means that such processes are not carried out. Therefore, there are a set of sandbox-only endpoints that allow you to manually approve KYC and deposits/withdrawals. This will allow you to test your integration with full independence in development mode.

 The following endpoints are available in our sandbox:

* Approve KYC
* Settle transaction

**Note: These endpoints are only available in the sandbox environment.**
