Answer Consent Challenge

An OBP Consent allows the holder of the Consent to call one or more endpoints.

Consents must be created and authorisied using SCA (Strong Customer Authentication).

That is, Consents can be created by an authorised User via the OBP REST API but they must be confirmed via an out of band (OOB) mechanism such as a code sent to a mobile phone.

Each Consent has one of the following states: INITIATED, ACCEPTED, REJECTED, REVOKED, RECEIVED, VALID, REVOKEDBYPSU, EXPIRED, TERMINATEDBYTPP.

Each Consent is bound to a consumer i.e. you need to identify yourself over request header value Consumer-Key.
For example:
GET /obp/v4.0.0/users/current HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:8080

Please note that only optional fields are: consumer_id, valid_from and time_to_live.
In case you omit they the default values are used:
consumer_id = consumer of current user
valid_from = current time
time_to_live = consents.max_time_to_live

This endpoint is used to confirm a Consent previously created.

The User must supply a code that was sent out of band (OOB) for example via an SMS.

Authentication is Mandatory

Create Consent (EMAIL)

This endpoint starts the process of creating a Consent.

The Consent is created in an INITIATED state.

A One Time Password (OTP) (AKA security challenge) is sent Out of band (OOB) to the User via the transport defined in SCA_METHOD
SCA_METHOD is typically "SMS" or "EMAIL". "EMAIL" is used for testing purposes.

When the Consent is created, OBP (or a backend system) stores the challenge so it can be checked later against the value supplied by the User with the Answer Consent Challenge endpoint.

An OBP Consent allows the holder of the Consent to call one or more endpoints.

Get Consents

An OBP Consent allows the holder of the Consent to call one or more endpoints.

Consents must be created and authorisied using SCA (Strong Customer Authentication).

That is, Consents can be created by an authorised User via the OBP REST API but they must be confirmed via an out of band (OOB) mechanism such as a code sent to a mobile phone.

Each Consent has one of the following states: INITIATED, ACCEPTED, REJECTED, REVOKED, RECEIVED, VALID, REVOKEDBYPSU, EXPIRED, TERMINATEDBYTPP.

Each Consent is bound to a consumer i.e. you need to identify yourself over request header value Consumer-Key.
For example:
GET /obp/v4.0.0/users/current HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:8080
Consent-JWT: eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbnRpdGxlbWVudHMiOlt7InJvbGVfbmFtZSI6IkNhbkdldEFueVVzZXIiLCJiYW5rX2lkIjoiIn

Answer Transaction Request Challenge

In Sandbox mode, any string that can be converted to a positive integer will be accepted as an answer.

This endpoint totally depends on createTransactionRequest, it need get the following data from createTransactionRequest response body.

1)TRANSACTION_REQUEST_TYPE : is the same as createTransactionRequest request URL .

2)TRANSACTION_REQUEST_ID : is the id field in createTransactionRequest response body.

3) id : is challenge.id field in createTransactionRequest response body.

4) answer : must be 123 in case that Strong Customer Authentication method for OTP challenge is dummy.
For instance: SANDBOX_TAN_OTP_INSTRUCTION_TRANSPORT=dummy
Possible values are dummy,email and sms
In kafka mode, the answer can be got by phone message or other security ways.

In case 1 person needs to answer security challenge we have next flow of state of an transaction request:
INITIATED => COMPLETED
In case n persons needs to answer security challenge we have next flow of state of an transaction request:
INITIATED => NEXT_CHALLENGE_PENDING => ... => NEXT_CHALLENGE_PENDING => COMPLETED

The security challenge is bound to a user i.e. in case of right answer and the user is different than expected one the challenge will fail.

Rule for calculating number of security challenges:
If product Account attribute REQUIRED_CHALLENGE_ANSWERS=N then create N challenges
(one for every user that has a View where permission "can_add_transaction_request_to_any_account"=true)
In case REQUIRED_CHALLENGE_ANSWERS is not defined as an account attribute default value is 1.

Create Transaction Request (ACCOUNT)

When using ACCOUNT, the payee is set in the request body.

Money goes into the BANK_ID and ACCOUNT_ID specified in the request body.

Initiate a Payment via creating a Transaction Request.

In OBP, a transaction request may or may not result in a transaction. However, a transaction only has one possible state: completed.

A Transaction Request can have one of several states: INITIATED, NEXT_CHALLENGE_PENDING etc.

Transactions are modeled on items in a bank statement that represent the movement of money.

Transaction Requests are requests to move money which may or may not succeed and thus result in a Transaction.

A Transaction Request might create a security challenge that needs to be answered before the Transaction Request proceeds.
In case 1 person needs to answer security challenge we have next flow of state of an transaction request:
INITIATED => COMPLETED
In case n persons needs to answer security challenge we have next flow of state of an transaction request:
INITIATED => NEXT_CHALLENGE_PENDING => ... => NEXT_CHALLENGE_PENDING => COMPLETED

The security challenge is bound to a user i.e. in case of right answer and the user is different than expected one the challenge will fail.

Rule for calculating number of security challenges:
If product Account attribute REQUIRED_CHALLENGE_ANSWERS=N then create N challenges
(one for every user that has a View where permission "can_add_transaction_request_to_any_account"=true)
In case REQUIRED_CHALLENGE_ANSWERS is not defined as an account attribute default value is 1.

Transaction Requests contain charge information giving the client the opportunity to proceed or not (as long as the challenge level is appropriate).

Transaction Requests can have one of several Transaction Request Types which expect different bodies. The escaped body is returned in the details key of the GET response.
This provides some commonality and one URL for many different payment or transfer types with enough flexibility to validate them differently.

The payer is set in the URL. Money comes out of the BANK_ID and ACCOUNT_ID specified in the URL.

In sandbox mode, TRANSACTION_REQUEST_TYPE is commonly set to ACCOUNT. See getTransactionRequestTypesSupportedByBank for all supported types.

In sandbox mode, if the amount is less than 1000 EUR (any currency, unless it is set differently on this server), the transaction request will create a transaction without a challenge, else the Transaction Request will be set to INITIALISED and a challenge will need to be answered.

If a challenge is created you must answer it using Answer Transaction Request Challenge before the Transaction is created.

You can transfer between different currency accounts. (new in 2.0.0). The currency in body must match the sending account.

The following static FX rates are available in sandbox mode:

https://apiexplorer.openbankproject.com/more?version=OBPv4.0.0&list-all-banks=false&core=&psd2=&obwg=#OBPv2_2_0-getCurrentFxRate

Transaction Requests satisfy PSD2 requirements thus:

1) A transaction can be initiated by a third party application.

2) The customer is informed of the charge that will incurred.

3) The call supports delegated authentication (OAuth)

See this python code for a complete example of this flow.

Create Transaction Request (ACCOUNT_OTP)

When using ACCOUNT, the payee is set in the request body.

Money goes into the BANK_ID and ACCOUNT_ID specified in the request body.

INITIATED => NEXT_CHALLENGE_PENDING => ... => NEXT_CHALLENGE_PENDING => COMPLETED

The security challenge is bound to a user i.e. in case of right answer and the user is different than expected one the challenge will fail.

Rule for calculating number of security challenges:
If product Account attribute REQUIRED_CHALLENGE_ANSWERS=N then create N challenges
(one for every user that has a View where permission "can_add_transaction_request_to_any_account"=true)
In case REQUIRED_CHALLENGE_ANSWERS is not defined as an account attribute default value is 1.

Transaction Requests contain charge information giving the client the opportunity to proceed or not (as long as the challenge level is appropriate).

Transaction Requests can have one of several Transaction Request Types which expect different bodies. The escaped body is returned in the details key of the GET response.
This provides some commonality and one URL for many different payment or transfer types with enough flexibility to validate them differently.

The payer is set in the URL. Money comes out of the BANK_ID and ACCOUNT_ID specified in the URL.

In sandbox mode, TRANSACTION_REQUEST_TYPE is commonly set to ACCOUNT. See getTransactionRequestTypesSupportedByBank for all supported types.

In sandbox mode, if the amount is less than 1000 EUR (any currency, unless it is set differently on this server), the transaction request will create a transaction without a challenge, else the Transaction Request will be set to INITIALISED and a challenge will need to be answered.

If a challenge is created you must answer it using Answer Transaction Request Challenge before the Transaction is created.

You can transfer between different currency accounts. (new in 2.0.0). The currency in body must match the sending account.

The following static FX rates are available in sandbox mode:

Create Transaction Request (SEPA)

Special instructions for SEPA:

When using a SEPA Transaction Request, you specify the IBAN of a Counterparty in the body of the request.
The routing details (IBAN) of the counterparty will be forwarded to the core banking system for the transfer.

Initiate a Payment via creating a Transaction Request.

In OBP, a transaction request may or may not result in a transaction. However, a transaction only has one possible state: completed.

A Transaction Request can have one of several states: INITIATED, NEXT_CHALLENGE_PENDING etc.

Transactions are modeled on items in a bank statement that represent the movement of money.

Transaction Requests are requests to move money which may or may not succeed and thus result in a Transaction.

A Transaction Request might create a security challenge that needs to be answered before the Transaction Request proceeds.
In case 1 person needs to answer security challenge we have next flow of state of an transaction request:
INITIATED => COMPLETED
In case n persons needs to answer security challenge we have next flow of state of an transaction request:
INITIATED => NEXT_CHALLENGE_PENDING => ... => NEXT_CHALLENGE_PENDING => COMPLETED

The security challenge is bound to a user i.e. in case of right answer and the user is different than expected one the challenge will fail.

Rule for calculating number of security challenges:
If product Account attribute REQUIRED_CHALLENGE_ANSWERS=N then create N challenges
(one for every user that has a View where permission "can_add_transaction_request_to_any_account"=true)
In case REQUIRED_CHALLENGE_ANSWERS is not defined as an account attribute default value is 1.

Transaction Requests contain charge information giving the client the opportunity to proceed or not (as long as the challenge level is appropriate).

Transaction Requests can have one of several Transaction Request Types which expect different bodies. The escaped body is returned in the details key of the GET response.
This provides some commonality and one URL for many different payment or transfer types with enough flexibility to validate them differently.

The payer is set in the URL. Money comes out of the BANK_ID and ACCOUNT_ID specified in the URL.

In sandbox mode, TRANSACTION_REQUEST_TYPE is commonly set to ACCOUNT. See getTransactionRequestTypesSupportedByBank for all supported types.

In sandbox mode, if the amount is less than 1000 EUR (any currency, unless it is set differently on this server), the transaction request will create a transaction without a challenge, else the Transaction Request will be set to INITIALISED and a challenge will need to be answered.

If a challenge is created you must answer it using Answer Transaction Request Challenge before the Transaction is created.

You can transfer between different currency accounts. (new in 2.0.0). The currency in body must match the sending account.

The following static FX rates are available in sandbox mode:

Get Transaction Request

Returns transaction request for transaction specified by TRANSACTION_REQUEST_ID and for account specified by ACCOUNT_ID at bank specified by BANK_ID.

The VIEW_ID specified must be 'owner' and the user must have access to this view.

Version 2.0.0 now returns charge information.

Transaction Requests serve to initiate transactions that may or may not proceed. They contain information including:

  • Transaction Request Id
  • Type
  • Status (INITIATED, COMPLETED)
  • Challenge (in order to confirm the request)
  • From Bank / Account
  • Details including Currency, Value, Description and other initiation information specific to each type. (Could potentialy include a list of future transactions.)
  • Related Transactions

PSD2 Context: PSD2 requires transparency of charges to the customer.
This endpoint provides the charge that would be applied if the Transaction Request proceeds - and a record of that charge there after.
The customer can proceed with the Transaction by answering the security challenge.

Get Transaction Request Types for Account

Returns the Transaction Request Types that the account specified by ACCOUNT_ID and view specified by VIEW_ID has access to.

These are the ways this API Server can create a Transaction via a Transaction Request
(as opposed to Transaction Types which include external types too e.g. for Transactions created by core banking etc.)

A Transaction Request Type internally determines:

  • the required Transaction Request 'body' i.e. fields that define the 'what' and 'to' of a Transaction Request,
  • the type of security challenge that may be be raised before the Transaction Request proceeds, and
  • the threshold of that challenge.

For instance in a 'SANDBOX_TAN' Transaction Request, for amounts over 1000 currency units, the user must supply a positive integer to complete the Transaction Request and create a Transaction.

This approach aims to provide only one endpoint for initiating transactions, and one that handles challenges, whilst still allowing flexibility with the payload and internal logic.
