Bank Data Sharing
Consented access to account, balance, transaction, beneficiary, direct debit, standing order, scheduled payment, and party information. Permissions such as ReadAccountsBasic, ReadBalances, and ReadTransactionsDetail control which fields are returned, with data filtered by consent expiry and date ranges.
- Account & balance information
- Transaction & statement history
- Standing orders, direct debits, beneficiaries
- Party & product information
Service Initiation (Payments)
Initiate domestic and international payments on behalf of users after obtaining explicit consent. Single one-shot payments and multi-payment consents — fixed or variable, on-demand, periodic schedule, or defined schedule — cover everything from checkout to subscription billing and instalment plans.
- Single Instant Payments
- Multi-payment consents (6 variants)
- Delegated SCA
- Refunds & multi-authorisation
Confirmation of Payee (CoP)
Verify that a payee’s name matches the account holder before executing a payment, reducing misdirected payment risk. A two-step flow — discovery (resolve the LFI from the IBAN) followed by a confirmation request — returns Yes / Partial / No match indicators.
- Discovery by IBAN
- Name match check
- Yes / Partial / No outcomes
- Reduces APP fraud risk
