MPCS-1

Multi-Payments Consent

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:

Note: Depending on the use case the Payee details may not be displayed to the User in full. However, these need to be part of the payment request sent by the TPP to the LFI.

Fixed Recurring Payments (FRPs) Consent

Variable Recurring Payments (VRPs) - Fixed On-demand Consent

Variable Recurring Payments (VRPs) - Variable Recurring Consent

Variable Recurring Payments (VRPs) - Variable On-demand Consent

Variable Recurring Payments (VRPs) - Variable-defined Consent

Additional Consent Parameters

1.2 Set the Accepted Authorization Type (as per https://openfinanceuae.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/standardsv1draft2/pages/52528830/Common+Rules+and+Guidelines#7.-Accepted-Authorization-Type).

1.3 Set the Authorization Time Window (as per https://openfinanceuae.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/standardsv1draft2/pages/52528830/Common+Rules+and+Guidelines#8.-Authorization-Time-Window) if there are specific timing requirements that must be met for the consent authorization. This is also relevant to cases where multiple authorizers are required to authorize the payment consent.

  • 1.3.1 For Fixed Recurring Consent and Variable Recurring Consent, the Authorization Time Window MUST be less than the time of the first payment in the Periodic Payment Schedule.

  • 1.3.2 For Variable-defined Consent, the Authorization Time Window MUST be less than the time of the first payment in the Variable-defined Payments Schedule.

1.4 Set the Risk Information Block (as per https://openfinanceuae.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/standardsv1draft2/pages/52528830/Common+Rules+and+Guidelines#9.-Risk-Information-Block)

1.5 Enable Users to provide explicit consent for the initiation of a series of future Multi-Payments of fixed or variable amounts based on a fixed periodic schedule or a variable schedule from their online payment account held at their LFI as per the payment parameters specified in the consent.

MPCS-2

Consent Staging

As per https://openfinanceuae.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/standardsv1draft2/pages/52528830/Common+Rules+and+Guidelines#10.-Consent-Staging

MPCS-3

Hand-off to LFI

As per https://openfinanceuae.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/standardsv1draft2/pages/52528830/Common+Rules+and+Guidelines#11.-Hand-off-to-LFI

Example wording to use: ‘We will securely transfer to YOUR LFI to authenticate and authorize your payments setup“.

MPCS-4

Authentication

As per the following sections:

MPCS-5

Confirmation/ Authorization

LFIs MUST:

5.1 Enable Users to authenticate using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in order to review and authorize the long-lived payment Consent.

5.2 Retrieve from the OFP the payment Consent details staged by the TPP using the unique Consent Identifier.

5.3 Allow Users to select a payment account for the initiation of the multi-payments, if this was not provided in the retrieved staged Payment Consent details as per https://openfinanceuae.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/standardsv1draft2/pages/52528830/Common+Rules+and+Guidelines#12.-Payment-Account-Selection-at-LFI

  • 5.3.1 Allow Users to select a payment account for the initiation of the multi-payments even if it has insufficient funds at the time of the payment Consent authorization. This allows Users to fund the payment accounts appropriately before the dates of the payment initiation. However, the LFIs MUST inform the User, if the selected payment account has insufficient funds.

5.4 Only present additional screens, if necessary to allow the validation and confirmation of the payment Consent (e.g., Beneficiary adding & activation and Proxy lookup).

5.5 NOT earmark (i.e. block) any funds related to the payment Consent in the Users' payment account at the point of Consent authorization.

5.6 Check the authorization status of the selected payment account is in accordance with the TPPs' Accepted Authorization Type as per https://openfinanceuae.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/standardsv1draft2/pages/52528830/Common+Rules+and+Guidelines#13.-Check-Accepted-Authorization-Type.

5.7 Add to the payment Consent the IBAN of the Payee returned by the Proxy resolution process, if the multi-payments Consent was submitted for User Authorization with one or more Beneficiaries using a Proxy as the Payee Identification. In these cases, the Consent is thereafter tied to the IBAN(s) of the Payee(s) rather than the proxies themselves. This will allow the future multi-payments to be initiated to these IBAN(s) even if the Payee(s) change proxy between the time of the Consent and the initiation of multi-payments related to the Consent.

  • 5.7.1 Include in the payment Consent response to the OFP the IBAN(s) of the Payee identification(s) returned by the Proxy resolution.

5.8 Present to Users the following minimum required information for authorizing the long-lived payments Consent:

  • User Payment Account

  • Payee Identification details (one or more if included in the Consent e.g. for Variable-defined)

    • for Multiple Variable Beneficiaries, a message stating the payee will be specified and validated during the payment initiation

  • Payer Note (Optional)

  • Consent Reference

  • Payment Amount & Currency (if relevant, depending on the type of the long-lived payment Consent)

  • Consent Controls Parameters (if relevant, depending on the type of the long-lived payment Consent)

  • Consent Control Period & Start Date (if relevant, depending on the type of the long-lived payment Consent)

  • The Payment Schedule (Periodic or Variable-defined) (if relevant, depending on the type of the long-lived payment Consent)

  • Consent Expiration Date & Time

  • Fees & VAT (if applicable): These are potential charges that will be applied to the User account for making a payment in relation to the long-lived payment Consent. Both bank charges and VAT MUST be presented, stated separately, prior to the User Consent authorization. If applicable, LFIs MUST apply the charges on the date of each payment initiation and not at the point of payment Consent authorization.

5.9 Check the Authorization Time window is valid as per https://openfinanceuae.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/standardsv1draft2/pages/52528830/Common+Rules+and+Guidelines#20.-Check-Authorization-Time-Window

5.10 Change the state of the payment Consent from Awaiting Authorization to Authorized when all Authorizers (one or more) have authorized the payment Consent.

5.11 Update the payment Consent details stored in the OFP with all the information included in the payment Consent authorized by the User.

OFP MUST:

5.12 Confirm back to the LFIs that the payment Consent details have been updated successfully.

5.13 Start tracking the Consent Control Parameters for the Control Period at the Control Period Start Date, if provided, or the Consent creation Date otherwise. The Control Period starts from 00:00:00 of the day and ends at 23:59:59 of the Control Period end day, calculated based on the Control Period type as defined in https://openfinanceuae.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/standardsv1draft2/pages/52528328/Multi-Payments#6.3.2-VRP-Consent-Control-Period-%26-Start-Date.

5.14 Return back to the TPP in the payment Consent response the IBAN(s) of the Payee identification(s) returned by the Proxy resolution, if the payment Consent was submitted for User Authorization with one or more Payees using a Proxy as the Payee Identification.

Multi-Authorization Journey Only

1.2 Request User’s Authorization for each payment initiation presenting the following minimum required information to the Users:

1.3 Request Users to authenticate with the TPP using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for authorizing each payment initiation related to an authorized Multi-payment Consent to Multiple Variable Beneficiaries. (Dynamic e.g. dynamic linking of User’s MFA to the payment details).

1.4 Generate a unique identifier related to the Users’s linking of MFA authentication to the authorized payment details and keep an audit trail of the User’s payment initiation actions during the session.

TPPs MUST:

1.8 Submit to OFP payment initiation requests with the same fixed parameters as per the long-lived Payment Consent authorized by the User. In case where the consent was setup using the Payee’s proxy, the payment request MUST also include the IBAN from the proxy Payee identification returned back to the TPP during the payment Consent setup.

1.9 Submit to OFP payment initiation requests with variable parameters within the allowable limits of the Consent Controls as per the long-lived Payment Consent authorized by the User.

1.10 Include in each one of the payment initiation requests the same Payer Note as specified in the authorized long-lived Payment Consent, as the default value, if previously provided. However, this may be overwritten by a new Payer Note provided by the User or the TPP, if relevant, for each payment initiation request.

1.11 Include in each of the payment initiation requests a Payment Reference. This MUST be populated as follows:

  • 1.11.1 If the Payment Reference in the authorized long-lived Payment Consent was provided by the User, TPPs MUST use the same Payment Reference for every payment initiated under the long-lived Payment Consent.

  • 1.11.2 If the Payment Reference in the authorized long-lived Payment Consent was pre-populated by the TPP, TPPs can:

    • EITHER use the same Payment Reference for every payment initiated under the long-lived Payment Consent

    • OR pre-populate the Payment Reference with different information for every payment initiated under the long-lived Payment Consent based on the requirements of the TPPs or their servicing customers.

VRPs Only

TPPs MUST:

1.12 NOT submit any payment initiation requests of amount more than the maximum payment value per payment initiation, if specified in the long-lived Payment Consent for VRPs.

Processing of Payment Initiation Requests

OFP MUST:

2.1 Allow the TPPs to submit individual payment initiation requests under the long-lived Payment Consent authorized by the User, without any additional MFA or authorization from the User.

2.2 Check that the received payment initiation requests relate to a valid long-lived Payment Consent authorized by the User. The Consent MUST be in the Authorized state. The OFP MUST reject any payment initiation messages related to a Payment Consent in a different state (e.g. expired) and respond back to the TPP with the appropriate error message/code.

2.3 Check the payment initiation request parameters against the authorized long-lived Payment Consent. More specifically, the OFP MUST check the following:

  • The Payee Identification details in the submitted payment initiation request matches exactly the Payee Identification in the authorized Payment Consent, except in the case of Multiple Variable Beneficiaries Consent.

  • The date of the submitted payment initiation request is within:

    • the validity period of the long-lived Payment Consent (i.e. Consent Expiration Date & Time)

    • the period defined in the Periodic or Variable-defined Payment Schedule (for Fixed Recurring, Variable Recurring and Variable-defined Consent types). In this case, the dates of each payment initiation request MUST match exactly the dates in the Payment Schedule.

  • The amount in the submitted payment initiation request:

    • matches exactly the payment amount for consents of type Fixed Recurring and Fixed On-demand.

    • matches exactly the payment amount for the date of the payment initiation for consents of type Variable-defined.

    • is less or equal to the maximum payment value per payment initiation for consents of type Variable Recurring and Variable On-demand.

FRPs Only

OFT MUST:

2.4 Check the Fixed Recurring Payment initiation request parameters against the Fixed Recurring Payment Consent. More specifically, the OFP MUST:

  • Check the cumulative Total Number of payment initiations including the submitted payment initiation request is less than the Total Number of Payments as defined in the authorized long-lived Fixed Recurring Payment Consent.

2.5 Increment the cumulative total number of payments after the payment has been successfully executed and received payment status confirmation from the payee Bank. The initial value of this parameter should be zero for each authorized Fixed Recurring Payment Consent.

2.6 Set the Fixed Recurring Payment Consent state to a terminal state (Finished), if the cumulative total number of payments requests becomes equal to the Total Number of Payments parameter of the Fixed Recurring Payment Consent.

VRPs Only

OFP MUST:

2.7 Check the payment initiation request parameters against the authorized long-lived VRP Payment Consent. More specifically, the OFP MUST check the following:

  • The cumulative Total Value of all payment initiations including the amount of the submitted payment initiation request is less or equal to the Maximum Cumulative Value of all payment initiations defined in the authorized long-lived Payment Consent (For Variable Recurring and Variable On-demand Consent types).

  • The cumulative Total Number of all payment initiations including the submitted payment initiation request is less or equal to the Maximum Cumulative Number of all payment initiations defined in the authorized long-lived Payment Consent (For Variable Recurring Consent and Variable On-demand Consent types).

  • The cumulative Total Value of all payment initiations per Consent Control Period including the amount of the submitted payment initiation request is less or equal to the Maximum Cumulative Value of all payment initiations within the Consent Control Period as defined in the authorized long-lived Payment Consent (For Variable Recurring Consent and Variable On-demand Consent types).

  • The cumulative Total Number of all payment initiations per Consent Control Period including the submitted payment initiation request is less or equal to the Maximum Cumulative Number all payment initiations within the Consent Control Period as defined in the authorized long-lived Payment Consent (For Variable Recurring Consent and Variable On-demand Consent types).

2.8 Check that the date of the payment initiation and the payment amount match exactly the Variable-defined Payment Schedule of the authorized Consent for the Variable-defined Payments.

2.9 Increment the cumulative Total Number and the cumulative Total Value of payments under the VRP Consent after the payment successfully executed and received payment status confirmation from the payee Bank. The initial value of these parameters should be zero for each authorized VRP Consent.

2.10 Increment the cumulative Total Number and the cumulative Total Value of all payment initiations per Control Period after the payment successfully executed and received payment status confirmation from the payee Bank. These parameters are reset to zero when a new Consent Control Period starts at 00:00:00 of the first day of the Control Period.

2.11 Set the long-lived Payment Consent state to a terminal state (Finished), if the cumulative total number of payment requests becomes equal to the Total Number of Payments parameter of the VRP Consent.

Multiple Variable Beneficiaries Only

2.12 Check that the payment initiation request contains valid payee identification details and that there is a unique identifier related to the Users’s linking of MFA authentication to the authorized payment details.

OFP MUST:

2.13 Allow the description of the Payment Reference in the submitted payment initiation request to be different than the one defined in the Payment Reference of the long-lived Payment Consent.

2.14 Reject the payment initiation and provide the necessary error message to the TPP if any other checks of the payment initiation request parameters fails against Consent parameters of the authorized long-lived Payment Consent.

2.17 Add to the payment initiation request the IBAN of the Payee returned by the Proxy resolution process, if the payment initiation request was submitted using a Proxy as the Payee Identification. The payment initiation request is thereafter tied to the IBAN of the Payee rather than the proxy itself.

  • 2.17.1 Include in the payment initiation response to the OFP the IBAN of the Payee identification returned by the Proxy resolution.

2.18 Additionally apply all existing BAU payment account controls and limits such as single transaction value limit, total transaction value limit, AML checking (if applicable) and others, as if the payment request has been initiated by the existing channels of the LFI. LFIs MUST send an appropriate error response to the OFP in case the payment is rejected due to violating any of these limits or checks.

2.19 Reject the payment initiation if the payment account selected for the payment has insufficient funds. The OFP MUST be notified about this rejection with an appropriate error message.

2.20 Subject to successful BAU checking, validation and payment processing, proceed with the execution of the payment by either submitting the payment to the underlying payment rails or executing internally as Intra-bank payment.

2.21 Provide the OFP with all the available information in relation to the initiated payment instruction including the payment’s unique identifier Payment Transaction ID. The format of the Payment Transaction ID can be found in the UAE Open Finance Standard specifications.

OFP MUST:

2.22 Send an appropriate error response to the TPPs in case the payment is rejected due to violating any of the LFIs BAU payment accounts checks or limits.

2.23 Send to the TPP the appropriate error message in case the payment payment initiation was rejected by the LFI due to insufficient funds in the selected payment account.
