Introduction
10Customer Experience PrinciplesDesign to maximise transparency to customers
  • Clarify rights and responsibilities describing and how the relationship works.

  • Investigate and answer additional questions raised.

  • Clarify the purpose of data collection and it  who  is responsible for the  use.

  • Offer detailed explanations for why specific data clusters are collected and used.

  • Clarify what happens after the period ends.

  • Clarify data use and removal after consent is revoked (e.g. what happens to past, present, future data).

    		• Typo fixed.

    11Authentication Methods
    Journey & Wireframe    		·       Minor changes to the text in Journey & Wireframes.
    12Decoupled Model A: Static PSU IdentifierA decoupled authentication flow, where the PSU provides a static identifier to the TPP (AISP/PISP/CBPII) which is used by the ASPSP to notify the PSU, such that the PSU can authenticate using the ASPSP app on a separate device.
    This enables the PSU to use the same app-based authentication method with the ASPSP they use when accessing the ASPSP mobile app directly.
    This model is best suited to TPP apps with good user input options (e.g. website on PC/laptop) but also where POS terminals can scan debit card numbers and automatically resolve the ASPSP if these are used as a customer identifiers .
    The exact type of identifier supported by the ASPSP must be published by the ASPSP.    		Typo fixed.

This excludes the cases where supplementary information is required to be provided to PSUs as described in section Single Domestic Payments – Supplementary info).
    SCA- RTS includes a number of available exemptions which permit an ASPSP not to apply SCA based on the availability of certain criteria, which consider factors such the amount, the beneficiary and the risk analysis of the transaction.  
    When the ASPSP determines that an available exemption is applicable to the payment order submitted via the PISP, they may choose not to apply SCA. The SCA and the application of exemptions are solely within the domain of the ASPSP.    		OBIE Internal Review

    This Journey can be used for subsequent transactions after an initial payment has been successfully made and details held for future use See Single Domestic Payments – a/c selection @ PISP, item #11.
    After the PSU has successfully initiated a payment initiation through a PISP, and details were held for future use (as per Single Domestic Payments – a/c selection @ PISP, item #11), this Journey can be used for initiating subsequent transactions.  The PISP will provide to the ASPSP in all any subsequent transactions a hint of the PSU’s identity by sending the customer identifier as part of the payment initiation request. This will enable the ASPSP to facilitate a journey with less friction, in instances where the ASPSP determines that SCA is not required based on an available exemption.  
    Note: This option may require a contract between the AISP and each ASPSP.     		OBIE Internal Review
    21Using an Available Exemption with a Customer Identifier
    CX Consideration #4    		PISPs should provide messaging to inform PSUs that they will be taken to their ASPSPs to complete the payment.

    Example wording: “You will be securely transferred to YOUR ASPSP to authenticate and make the payment“.
    Note: In the case of a journey where the ASPSP will determine that an SCA exemption can be applied, this point would have been the PSUs’ “point of no return” for making the payment. However, as PISPs are not in a position to know whether that would be the case or not, they cannot really inform the PSUs about being at the “point of no return” for making the payment. PISPs may decide to provide some additional messaging to PSUs to address this.     		OBIE Internal Review

    22Permissions & Data Clusters for AIS journeysData Clusters
    OBIE customer research found that grouping permissions together and adding another layer of description aided the PSU's understanding of the data they were being asked to consent to share. This approach also allows a consistency of language across AISPs and ASPSPs to provide additional comfort to PSUs that they are sharing the data they intended to. If consistent language is used across all Participants this will drive PSU familiarity and adoption. These groups of permissions are known as Data Clusters. Data Clusters are not reflected in the API specifications, they are purely a presentational layer on top of permissions to aid PSU understanding.
    It should be noted that the P15 Evaluation (Efficacy of Consent Dashboards) currently underway will consider the structure of data clusters and the language used to support them. These guidelines will be amended in line with the output of that evaluation exercise.     		OBIE Internal Review

    CEG Checklist #2    		AISPs must provide PSUs with sufficient information to enable PSUs to make an informed decision, for example, detail the purpose for which the data will be used (including whether any other parties will have access to the information) the period over which it has been requested and when the consent for the account information will expire (consent could be on-going or one-off).
    AISPs must display the company’s trading name/brand name (i.e. the Client Name) to the PSU during the setup and revocation of consent. If the AISP is only trading with its registered company name then it must display that name to the PSU.
    If the AISP is not the customer-facing entity and there is an Agent who is acting on behalf of the AISP, then the Agent must make the PSU aware that they are acting as an agent on behalf of the AISP and must also, display the AISP's full trading name/brand name or registered company name whichever is the customer-facing brand of the AISP. 
    AISPs must also, populate the Agent company name in the 'On behalf of' field of the software statement, in order to inform the ASPSP about the agency relationship and allow the ASPSP to be able to display this information to the PSU (please refer to item #5). Only in instances where there is an Agent acting on behalf of the AISP, the ‘On Behalf of’ name must be displayed to the PSU. AISPs must not populate the ' On behalf of' field with the details of their TSP.
    The customer-facing entity must provide PSUs with sufficient information to enable them to make an informed decision. For example, detail the purpose for which the data will be used (including whether any other parties will have access to the information), the period over which it has been requested and when the consent for the account information will expire (consent could be ongoing or one-off).

    For examples of what names should be displayed, please refer to Consent Dashboard & Revocation, Examples.

    CEG Checklist #4    		AISPs must present a high-level summary of the data that is being requested and make it clear that this data and the purpose for which it will be used are the same as when originally requested. This should be done using the structure and language recommended by OBIE following customer research (see Data Cluster Structure & Language below). AISPs must ensure that this request is specific to only the information required for the provision of their account information service to the PSU.

    AISPs should only present those data clusters relevant to the product type in question. Where the request is for multiple product types then the detail shown in the data cluster should explain to the customer the product type to which it applies or state that it is shared across multiple product types.

    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 and must display the AISP’s full trading name.    		More clarity on TPP name and Agent Name usage.

  • A description of the account information service that is being provided (including whether any other parties will have access to the information).  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.

  • 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 date when consent was first granted. It is recommended to also show the date when the customer last refreshed their access as part of the 90 days re-authentication.

  • The length of time for which this consent is valid (e.g. one-off use, for a set period of time e.g. one year, or with no end date and the date of expiry).

  • The period for which the account information has been requested (e.g. transactions for the last 12 months).

    • The consent dashboard must allow a PSU to view or cancel the access they have given consent to. The functions “Cancel Consent Permission” and “back” should be displayed with equal prominence to the PSU.

    4890 Days AuthenticationThe PSRs require Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) to be performed each time the PSU accesses its online payment account, either directly or using the services of an AISP. The frequency of authentication can be reduced if an ASPSP applies the exemption relevant to account information access (RTS, Article 10), however, this will still require the PSU to be authenticated at least every 90 days.​ Moreover, the 90-day exemption doesn’t apply if the AISP wants to access more than the last 90 days’ worth of transactions.  
    A PSU having given long-lived consent to an AISP to avail account information services, has to undergo SCA if it is accessing its account information via the AISP online for the first time, or if more than 90 days have elapsed since the last time the PSU accessed the information and SCA was applied. Irrespective of the duration of the consent agreed between the AISP and the PSU for the provision of the account information service, the PSU would still need to undergo SCA with their ASPSP at least every 90 days. This frequency may also increase if the PSU holds multiple payment accounts with various ASPSPs as they would need to undertake SCA for each of those ASPSPs on an individual basis.

    (It should be noted that the API specification allows the AISP to inform the ASPSP that the request is a refresh rather than a new request).

    In the case where the AISP requires the PSU to undergo SCA within or at the expiry of the 90 day period for account information access, the AISP will alert the PSU either within the session or outside of it (e.g. via SMS or push notification) that specific payment account(s) access across multiple ASPSPs are due for a refresh.

    The PSU will then undergo SCA at the AISP, as per the agreed parameters with the ASPSP(s). The AISP will then send a message to each ASPSP confirming that SCA has been performed successfully and requesting the ASPSPs to reset the 90-days re-authentication counter for the selected payment account accesses.

    This reduces the friction of the PSU going through multiple re-authentication journeys with multiple ASPSPs for the same AISP.

    Note: This option is likely to require a contract between the AISP and each ASPSP. Please also note that the proposition of SCA being performed by AISP on behalf of ASPSPs is subject to the applicable commercial arrangements between the parties.    		OBIE Internal Review

    CEG Checklist#3    		AISPs must display the company’s trading name/brand name (i.e. the Client Name) to the PSU during the setup and revocation of consent. If the AISP is only trading with its registered company name then it must display that name to the PSU.
    If the AISP is not the customer-facing entity and there is an Agent who is acting on behalf of the AISP, then the Agent must make the PSU aware that they are acting as an agent on behalf of the AISP and must also, display the AISP's full trading name/brand name or registered company name whichever is the customer-facing brand of the AISP.

    AISPs must also, populate the Agent company name in the 'On behalf of' field of the software statement, in order to inform the ASPSP about the agency relationship and allow the ASPSP to be able to display this information to the PSU. Only in instances where there is an Agent acting on behalf of the AISP, the ‘On Behalf of’ name must be displayed to the PSU. AISPs must not populate the 'On behalf of' field with the details of their TSP.

    The customer-facing entity must provide PSUs with sufficient information to enable them to make an informed decision. For example, detail the purpose for which the data will be used (including whether any other parties will have access to the information), the period over which it has been requested and when the consent for the account information will expire (consent could be ongoing or one-off).

    For examples of what names should be displayed, please refer to Consent Dashboard & Revocation, Examples.    		More clarity on TPP name and Agent Name usage.

    63CX Consideration #12If PSUs provide their payment account identification details (as per item #2 options), the PISP could, with the consent of the PSU, save the account details for future transactions (such as making further payments or initiating refunds back to PSUs) where this is part of the payment initiation service explicitly requested by the PSU. For example, a merchant, upon request from the PSU, may initiate a refund back to the PSU, by instructing the same PISP that initiated the initial PSU transaction to use the saved PSU payment account identification details as the beneficiary details for the refund. This will be dependant on the same PISP being used by both the PSU and the merchant, their specific contractual terms and relevant regulatory obligations under GDPR/PSRs.
    Moreover, PISPs can use this consent to provide a hint of the PSU’s identity using the customer identifier as part of the payment request to enable the subsequent payment journey contemplated in section Authentication methods.
