User Journey

 

We note that generally ASPSPs may not require re-authentication of PSUs once PSUs have given their explicit consent to ASPSPs to provide Confirmation of Funds responses to requests from a specific CBPII, prior to the first request (as shown in journey Consent for Confirmation of Funds (CoF). However, there may be instances where ASPSPs have invalidated the token after the consent has been setup, for example due to suspicion of fraud. In these instances, the PSU will need to be re-authenticated. This section describes the customer journey where re-authentication for CBPII access is required to allow the CBPII to continue making further confirmation of funds requests.

CBPIIs should inform the PSU that they need to be re-authenticated by their ASPSP. CBPIIs should present the original account details and expiration date (or CBPIIs could vary the expiration date). This re-authentication journey will establish a new token which the CBPII can use to make subsequent confirmation of funds requests.
