Implementation Requirements

Minimum Set of Parameters

PISPs must either allow user/customer to specify any of the below information or pre-populate this information on their behalf for the Bulk & Batch payments:

  • Total amount of all payments in the Bulk/Batch and currency

User/Customer payment Account Selection:

IfPISPs allow userusers/customer customers to import/upload a Batch/Bulk file of payments, then the file may contain one user/customer payment Account (for Bulk) or multiple user/customer payment Accounts (for Batch). In this case, PISPs should not allow the customer to define a user/customer payment Account for the Bulk or Batch. PISPs may read the file and pre-populate the user/customer payment Account in the case of Bulk payments. Moreover, PISPs may use the user/customer payment Account IBAN to identify and pre-populate the useruser’s/customer's ASPSP that the Bulk/Batch needs to be submitted for processing.

Otherwise, if no external file upload or user/customer payment Account(s) in the file, PISPs must allow userusers/customers to either:

  • Enter the user/customer payment Account details (one or multiple)

  • Select their account details (assumes they have been saved previously and a user/customer is required to verify/authorize the account identification details in a PISP before storing it in PISP)

  • Select their ASPSP in order to select their user/customer payment Account from there

Minimum Set of Parameters:

IfPISPs allows user/customers to import/upload a Bulk/ Batch file of payments, then the file may contain the payment scheme(s) and the requested execution date(s) for the Bulk/Batch of payments. In this case, PISPs should not allow the customer to define the payment scheme and the requested execution date. PISPs may read the file and pre-populate the payment scheme and the requested execution date in the case of Bulk payments and also for the Batch payments if the same throughout the file.

Otherwise, if no external file upload or payment scheme and the requested execution date in the file, PISPs must allow user/customer to specify the below information:

  • Instruction instrument (payment scheme)

  • Requested Execution date

Note: For Batch payments Payments, this will only hold if these parameters will need to apply to all the transactions within the Batch.

User/Customer Consent to PISP:

PISPs must request for the useruser’s/customer's consent to the payment clearly displaying any of the following information if specified by userusers/customers or pre- populated by PISPs:

  • Total amount of all payments in the Bulk/Batch and currency (subject to item #2 S.No. 2 options)

  • Number of payments included in the Bulk/Batch (subject to item #2 S.No. 2 options)

  • Reference for the file (as per best practice) (subject to item #2 S.No. 2 options)

  • Instruction instrument (payment scheme) (subject to item #1 S.No. 1 options)

  • Requested Execution date (subject to item #1 S.No. 1 options)

  • User/Customer payment Account or selected ASPSP (subject to item #2 S.No. 2 options)

    • Note 1: If user/customer payment Account is selected in the previous screen, PISPs should mask the account details

    • Note 2: If user/customer payment Account details are provided, PISPs may use the account IBAN to derive and display the ASPSP

PISPs must provide messaging to inform userusers/customers that they will be taken to their ASPSPs to complete the payment. Example wording: "You will be securely transferred to your ASPSP to authenticate and make the payment"

CX consideration:

  • Generic PISP to ASPSP redirection screen and message

SCA-Strong Customer Authentication

SCA must be the only action required at the ASPSPs (unless supplementary information required). The ASPSP authentication must have no more than the number of steps that the user/customer would experience when directly accessing the ASPSP channel.

CX consideration:

  • If SCA as described in this section cannot occur on the same screen as #5 of displaying the amount and the payee (e.g. for some biometric authentications methods), then ASPSPs should offer userusers/customers options to proceed or cancel the payment with "equal prominence”

Additional Supplementary Information:

Although the payee details and total amount are known to the ASPSP before the user/customer is authenticated,. ASPSPs must introduce a step after authentication to allow userusers/customers to provide additional information associated with the Bulk/Batch payment in order to complete the payment instructions , if the payment order is incomplete. This information may include:

  •  User/Customer payment Account Identification details (for Bulk payments only)

  • Instruction instrument (payment scheme) (for Bulk payments and for Batch only if it applies to all payments in the Batch)

  • Requested Execution date (for Bulk payments and for Batch only if it applies to all payments in the Batch)

ASPSPs must be able to introduce a step after authentication to display additional /supplementary information in relation to the Bulk\Batch payment instructions such as expected execution date, specific terms related to this payment type, charges etc.

 CX consideration:

  • ASPSPs should also display to userusers/customers all the payment instruction information received from PISPs

  • ASPSPs should inform userusers/customers about their “point of no return” for making the payment and that their payment will be made after pressing the proceed button. Example wording: "Proceed to make payment”

  • ASPSPs should allow userusers/customers to review the information described above. The user/customer can either proceed with the payment or cancel it, on the same screen using options with “equal prominence”

  • Generic ASPSP to PISP redirection Screen and message
