  • You must use PS256 algorithms to create the request Object signing

  • You must use https://oauth.tiaa.barclays.com as the aud claim in the request Object

  • You must use private_key_jwt instead of client secret authentication

  • You must receive ID tokens with PS256 signing algorithms

  • You must use “response type=code id_token

  • We’ll populate the acr claim in the ID token by default

Date of Future eIDAS Implementation?March 2020

As of the 14th of March, TPPs with eIDAS certificates who have registered with the Open Banking Implementation Entity and are onboarding with OBWAC/OBSEAL or QWAC/QSEAL certificates, can continue to use manual onboarding via the developer portal. Using this method, the TPP logs onto the developer portal with their Open Banking credentials and can create an application to onboard. This will ensure the TPP can continue to use their existing application on the developer portal that any associated live customer consents will have been created under. If a TPP has an eIDAS certificate, and wants to onboard directly with us, this is possible via our Dynamic Client Registration.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

In order to complete Open Banking journeys, you will need to establish the Identity Provider (IDP) authentication method for your implementation.

An IDP is a system to authenticate and gain permission from an end user - such as a customer, to access their resources e.g. their account data. For Open Banking, this is used to authenticate the customer providing the consent to the Third Party.

Examples of an IDP in Open Banking includes Barclays app (Personal and Business Banking customers) and iPortal (Barclays Corporate clients), but we have a number of methods depending on the customer type and digital channel that they use. This needs to be considered in your development.

The latest OpenID configuration (OIDC) URLs available are shown below

TPPs are reminded that latest URLS MUST be used and where a legacy URL is still being used then TPP MUST migrate to URLs below

Note - some Business Banking clients will require the Corporate Banking IDP as they use Corporate Banking services to fulfil their business requirements and some Corporate clients will require the Business Banking IDP as they use Business Banking services to fulfil their business requirements
