Future Dated Payments

Future Dated Payments

1. Description

One-time payment scheduled for execution in the future. A Future Dated Payment (FDP) is initiated by a TPP from a payment account held at the LFI with the explicit consent of the User. The payment is initiated by the LFI on the date scheduled by the TPP. The TPP acquires explicit consent from the User for a single-use access to the User’s payment account. The User MUST authenticate with the LFI and authorize the single-use consent. The payment related to the authorized consent, is warehoused by the LFI and is initiated by LFI on the day it is due, as per the authorized consent.

This functionality requires a Single-Use Consent. The consent parameter type for this capability is Single Future Dated Payment Consent, which MUST be used for a single payment which will be initiated by the LFI in the future after User authorization at the LFI.

As a User (Consumer or Business),

I want to provide my consent to a TPP to use my payment account for scheduling with my LFI a Single Future Dated payment of a fixed amount to a domestic beneficiary account owned by a business or an individual,

so that I can pay the relevant beneficiary.

2. User Journey

Users can schedule, by providing their consent to TPPs, a payment order to their LFIs to make a one-off single payment of a specific amount to a specific creditor on a specific date.
