Consent setup

Basic Consent Parameters

TPPs MUST:

1.1 Enable Users to provide and review the parameters related to the initiation of a series of Multi-Payments they need to consent to. These parameters include:

  • User Payment Account or User LFI (as per https://openfinanceuae.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/standardsv1rc2standardsv1final/pages/134843363151850813/Common+Rules+and+Guidelines#2.-User-Payment-Account-Selection)

  • Allow Users to manually enter the Creditor Reference or pre-populate it for the Users (depending on the Use Case). Creditor Reference is mandatory due to being the default value to be used as the Creditor Reference of the Payment Initiation Requests. The Creditor Reference is populated either by the User (i.e. debtor) or the TPP using information requested by the beneficiary or any other information that can be provided to the beneficiary to assist in identifying and reconciling any payments initiated using this consent. This information may be mapped to the Creditor Reference of each Payment Initiation Request and thus may be transferred via the payment rails to the beneficiary LFI. However, the TPP if required use a different Creditor Reference for each of the initiated payment Requests

  • Validate that the format of the Creditor Reference is according to the Bank Service Initiation API - OpenAPI Documentation.

Additional Consent Parameters
