1. Description

Multi-Payments are defined as a series of payments initiated by a TPP based on either a fixed, variable or no schedule with each payment being either of fixed or variable amount. Multi-Payments use a long-lived Payment Consent, which enables Users to grant TPPs with long-lived access to their payment accounts for the purpose of instructing a series of such payments on their behalf, without the need for the User to authenticate each individual payment with the LFI.

User Story

As a User (Consumer or Business),

I want to provide my consent to a TPP to use my payment account for initiating both:

  • a Single Instant Payment of a fixed amount and;

  • a sequence of future recurring payments of fixed or variable amounts with a fixed or variable schedule to a domestic beneficiary account owned by a business or an individual,

so that I can pay an instant down-payment and allow the remaining future payments of my payment plan to the relevant beneficiary.

TPP and User Events to Agree to Initiate Payments

The TPPs MUST require Users to agree there will be one (or more) event(s) that the TPP will use to signal the User’s agreement for a payment initiation to be processed under the Multi-Payments consent.

 Examples of these events could be the following:

  • A User stating a single-purpose secret word / number string to a merchant, where the secret word / number string frequently changes and is known only to the User and the merchant via a secure channel

  • A User tapping a wrist band (that features a RFID feature) on a scanner of a merchant 

  • A user ordering a coffee at a merchant’s kiosk, where the User has registered with the merchant’s app via a smart device and where the merchant can detect the User’s device is present at the kiosk.

  • A User, and the license plate of their vehicle, both of which are registered with a merchant's mobile app, is having their vehicle refuelled at the same merchant’s petrol pump, and their vehicle's license plate is recognized by the merchant's cameras as being present while a fuelling request was made.

TPPs MUST require one (or more) event(s) to demonstrate the User's agreement for a payment initiation to be processed. The event(s) will be agreed between TPPs and Users to be the qualifying conditions for each payment initiation to be considered as agreed to be processed.

The nature of these agreement events MUST be presented to Users while providing the initial, explicit consent for the long-lived Multi-payment consent to exist with their designated LFI. 

The event(s) applicable to any payment initiated by TPPs under a Multi-Payment MUST be recorded and stored by the TPPs in the case of a dispute case being raised about the payment (initiation).

1.6.3 Prerequisites for Variable Beneficiary Multi-Payments

The liability model must be updated for the case of Variable Beneficiary Multi-Payment Consents. TPPs are expected to be fully liable for any disputes with Users in relation to unauthorized payments.

1.6.3.2 TPP T&Cs

The T&Cs of TPPs MUST request Users to agree that they will be one or more “factors” (i.e. conditions) that will be used by the TPP as their explicit authorization for each payment initiation of Multi-Payments to Variable Beneficiaries. Examples of these factors may be the following:

  • User biometrics, RFID token, Vehicle registration, mobile phone, plastic card, other User identification (e.g. Emirates ID), standard MFA process etc.

TPPs will have the option to require one or more factors for explicit authorization. The factors will be agreed between TPPs and Users to be the qualifying conditions for each payment initiation to be considered as authorized. The authorization factors MUST be presented to Users while providing explicit consent for the long-lived Variable Beneficiary Multi-payment Consent.

9 Using Fixed-defined Consent for Single Future Dated Payment (FDP)

TTPs are able to use a Fixed-defined Payment Consent as an alternative way to setup a Single Future Dated Payments (FDP). To achieve this, TPPs can setup a Fixed-defined Payment Consent with a single entry in the Predefined Payments Schedule as defined in https://openfinanceuae.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/standardsv1dot1final/pages/edit-v2/210798542#8.2.3-Fixed-defined-%26-Variable-defined-Payments-%26-Schedule.
