LFIs and TPPs may:

• Use their own fonts, colours and spacing for any fields in between the progress bar and the AlTareq buttons on each screen.

• Make subtle/minor changes to field labels (e.g. ‘Reference’ in place of ‘Payment Reference’) to be consistent with other screens in their web/mobile app.

• Include supplemental information on relevant screens, providing this is explicitly allowed for in the Standards.
