DRAFT

1. Introduction

This document describes the different components involved in delivering the integration between the API Hub and a LFI. The goal is to give a clear picture of which components exist, how they are used and what is expected to be delivered by each party.

...

  1. Provide a single industry sandbox which simulates a single LFI, with rich synthetic data and a postman collection for each API request/response defined in the Open Finance Standard.

  2. Provide each LFI with dedicated Pre-Production and Production API gateways accessible to TPPs.

  3. Ensure that the externally facing API adheres strictly to the Open Finance Standard, including the FAPI security profile, data model, and API operations for each endpoint.

  4. Integrate with the Open Finance Trust Framework (OFTF) to ensure that ONLY licensed TPPs can access the APIs and that they can ONLY access API sets within the scope of their licensed role(s).

  5. Manage the User’s consent, to act as the single source of truth regarding this consent and to ensure that the TPP can only access APIs (for account informationdata sharing, service initiation or insurance) within the parameters of this consent.

  6. Provide the CBUAE with all required reporting regarding usage, availability and performance.

API

  • Swagger specification will be made available for Data Sharing, Service Initiation and Insurance

  • TPPs do not connect to the Ozone Connect API directly

  • The Ozone Connect API is an interface on top of the LFI core banking system. LFIs will be responsible for the mapping between their core banking system and the Ozone Connect API specification

  • LFIs only implement the Ozone Connect API endpoints to support their existing offering i.e
    Data Sharing: Accounts, Balance, Transactions etc

    Service Initiation: Domestic payment, Standing Orders, International Payments etc
    Insurance: Motor insurance quotes

4.4 Support for LFIs

Ozone will engage with LFIs who are onboarding onto the OFP via a series of open engagement sessions. These will be technically focused session and should be attended by the LFI’s technical teams. Dates and timing will be comminuted in due course. Ozone will then conduct bilateral sessions providing one-to-one support and guidance to LFIs through the integration lifecycle.
