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/standardsv1draft5/pages/109415230/Common+Rules+and+Guidelines#7.-Accepted-Authorization-Type).

1.3 Set the Authorization Time Window (as per https://openfinanceuae.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/standardsv1draft5/pages/109415230/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.

MPCS-3

Hand-off to LFI

As per https://openfinanceuae.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/standardsv1draft5/pages/109415230/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“.

Authentication

LFI Authentication Only

As per the following sections:

Centralized Authentication and Authorization (Federated) Only

As per https://openfinanceuae.atlassian.net/wiki/x/HoBBAw

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/standardsv1draft5/pages/109415230/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/standardsv1draft5/pages/109415230/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 Variable Beneficiaries, a message stating the payee will be specified and validated during the payment initiation

  • Payer Note (Optional)

  • Consent Reference

  • Purpose of Payment

  • 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 Request Users to authorize the Multi-payments Consent, so that TPP can initiate payments from the payment account.

  • 5.9.1 Request Users to additionally authorize the Balance Check Permission, in the case that TPPs have requested permission to check the balance of the Users' payment accounts.

5.10 Provide Users the ability to abort the payment journey, if Users decided to terminate the request. The LFI MUST hand-off the Users back to the TPP, providing the necessary error message to the OFP and reject the Multi-payments Consent.

5.11 Check the Authorization Time window is valid as per https://openfinanceuae.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/standardsv1draft5/pages/109415230/Common+Rules+and+Guidelines#20.-Check-Authorization-Time-Window

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

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

OFP MUST:

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

5.15 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/standardsv1draft5/pages/109413991/Multi-Payments#8.3.2-VRP-Consent-Control-Period-%26-Start-Date.

5.16 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

Info

Note: The parameters of the long-lived Multi-Payments Consent that Users are able to update depend on the use case and the business requirements of each TPP. There may be scenarios where the TPPs are fine to allow users Users to update one or more of the Consent parameters and other scenarios where Users are not allowed to make any changes to the Consent ParametsParameters. In any case, Users are always able to revoke their Consent.
