 ## Testing
 
-By default, the demobank-ui points to `https://bank.demo.taler.net/demobanks/default/`
-as the bank access API base URL.
-
-This can be changed for testing by setting the URL via local storage (via your browser's devtools):
+By default, the demobank-ui will expect the backend to be in `window.origin` but that can be overriden using the `settings.json` file or by session in the localStorage.
