13 | Consent Dashboard & Revocation | AISPs must describe the data being shared through each consent using the structure and language recommended by OBIE following customer research (see Data Cluster Structure & Language below) and ensure this request is specific to only the information required for the provision of their account information service to the PSU. AISPs should present the data at a Data Cluster level and allow the PSU to expand the level of detail to show each Data Permission. The Consent Dashboard should also describe: • • Where the request is for multiple product types, the detail should explain to the customer the product type to which it applies or state that it is shared across multiple product types. • The date when consent was granted for the provision of the account information and the date when the service commenced. • • The period for which the account information • • The date the consent was granted. If the customer-facing entity is acting on behalf of an AISP as its agent, the PSU must be made aware that the agent is acting on behalf of the AISP. The consent dashboard must allow a PSU to view or cancel the access they have given consent to. The functions “Cancel “Agent” means a person or entity who acts on behalf of an authorised payment institution or a small payment institution in the provision of payment services including account information services. | NBS Feedback #9 | ||||||
14 | AIS Access Dashboard & Revocation | Changed Checklist reference from 10 to 10a | NBS Feedback #14 | ||||||
15 | Access Status notifications by ASPSPs | NBS Feedback #13-15 | |||||||
16 | Access Status notifications by ASPSPs | Aggregated ‘Polling’ / Pull Notification of ASPSP by AISP • Similar to basic polling, aggregated Polling is about the provision of notification of revocations from ASPSPs to AISPs, upon AISP request, enabling AISPs to update their records and contact the PSUs, if required, at the point in time of the request. However, the key difference is that rather than focusing on a specific access resource’s status (via a GET request on that specific resource), aggregated polling allows an AISP to poll for the outstanding or awaiting events in the ASPSP’s events repository • ASPSPs should provide to the polling AISP all the access resource status and other information stored in the repository for that specific AISP, upon AISP request. Please note that in case of in case of access revocation, there is no change to underlying consent resource. However, the event type, is same for both events, i.e. consent-authorization-revoked. In addition to PSU revocation of access (event UK.OBIE.Consent-Authorization-Revoked), ASPSPs should be able to notify the AISPs for the below 2 events 1. UK.OBIE.Resource-Update - An event that indicates a resource has been updated. 2. UK.OBIE.Acount-Access-Consent-Linked-Account-Update - An event that indicates an account linked to a consent has move in/out of scope of the consent. • • is no longer available due to changes in the state of the access token for any valid reason (e.g. token has expired, token has been suspended by the ASPSP due to fraud etc.) and could provide the reason code, if appropriate. Note: This functionality makes much more efficient usage of the ASPSPs and AISPs network bandwidth as multiple single polls, especially with no change of access status, are avoided. Moreover, it allows AISPs to receive all the required notifications without the need to implement systems with high availability (e.g. systems running 24×7) or systems based on real-time push notifications, providing full flexibility to AISPs about the timing they want to receive the notifications based on their business models. | NBS Feedback #14-15 | ||||||
