Publication of Statistics
EBA Guideline 3.1 requires that ASPSPs “… provide its competent authority with a plan for publication of daily statistics on a quarterly basis on the availability and performance of the dedicated interface as set out in Guidelines 2.2 and 2.3, and of each of the interfaces made available to its own PSUs for directly accessing their payment accounts online, together with information on where these statistics will be published and the date of first publication…”
In addition, the FCA PSRs Approach Chapter 13 requires ASPSPs to report these statistics to the FCA on a quarterly basis.
These statistics should be completed for each dedicated interface. In the case where an ASPSP has one dedicated interface per brand, then the ASPSP should publish a separate report for each brand. However where several brands share the same interface, then the ASPSP should only need to publish one report. In the case where an ASPSP maintains different versions of their dedicated interface in parallel (e.g. to support different versions of the OBIE Standard), then these should be considered as separate dedicated interfaces and published separately, as they may have different levels of availability and performance.

Reporting for PSU Interfaces
- Uptime: 100% minus the total percentage downtime for each day.
- Downtime: The total time in seconds for each day when any element of the PSU interface is not accessible by the PSU in the process of accessing their PSD2 in-scope account, and in order to access PSD2 functionality. This should be divided by 86,400 (the number of seconds in 24 hours) and expressed as a percentage. PSU accounts which have been blocked by the ASPSP should not be counted as downtime, as it is the downtime of the service, and not the individual PSU’s access, which is relevant here.
- PISP Response Time: The average time taken in milliseconds from when a PSU clicks on a button or link to initiate a payment (i.e. after they have supplied all details and clicked “confirm payment”) to when the PSU receives either a confirmation screen or error message to confirm the status of the payment initiation. This should be the average for all PSU payments initiated each day for each PSU interface. OBIE recommends that the time is reported based on the time taken for the page/screen which contains the confirmation/error message to fully load.
- AISP Response Time: The average time taken in milliseconds from when a logged in (i.e. authenticated) PSU clicks on a button or link to access any PSD2 in-scope payment account information on their account (e.g. list of accounts, balance for an account, page/screen of transactions) to when the page/screen displaying this information has fully loaded. Where this information is displayed immediately and automatically after login, this time should be measured from when the ASPSP has accepted the last factor of the PSU’s authentication (i.e. the load time of the first page/screen after authentication is complete). This should be the average for all pages/screens loaded each day for each PSU interface. OBIE recommends that the time is reported based on the time taken for the page/screen which contains the confirmation/error message to fully load.
- Confirmation of Funds Response Time: There is no direct comparison for CBPII and PISP confirmation of funds in a PSU interface, hence this column should be left blank.
- Error Response Rate: As per row 23 in the EBA consultation feedback table, this column is not required for a PSU interface and should also be left blank.
ASPSP Reporting Template
OBIE has included a template that ASPSPs using the OBIE Standard might find useful in preparing their information for publication and reporting to the FCA (or other CA) from September 2019:
TPP Reporting
OBIE encourages TPPs to report statistics on availability and performance to OBIE. Whilst there is no EBA/FCA regulatory requirement, OBIE would find this information very useful in providing a balanced view of the overall health of the Open Banking ecosystem. The format and method of this is still to be confirmed and sits outside this document.
