OBReadStandingOrder2

GET /accounts/{AccountId}/standing-orders

An AISP may retrieve the standing-order resource for a specific AccountId (which is retrieved in the call to GET /accounts).

GET /standing-orders

If an ASPSP has implemented the bulk retrieval endpoints - an AISP may optionally retrieve the standing-order resources in bulk.

This will retrieve the resources for all authorised accounts linked to the account-request.

Data Model

The OBReadStandingOrder2 object will be used for the call to: 

  • GET /accounts/{AccountId}/standing-orders
  • GET /standing-orders

Resource Definition

A resource that contains a set of elements that describes the list of standing-orders that have been set up on a specific account (AccountId).

An account (AccountId) may have no standing orders set up, or may have multiple standing orders set up.

UML Diagram

Notes:

  • The Account and Creditor blocks replicate what is used consistently throughout the Account Information APIs to identify an account. 
  • For the /accounts/{AccountId}/standing-orders endpoint - the Account and Creditor blocks represent the account that is receiving funds (so has been named the CreditorAccount - for consistency with the PISP use case).
  • A DateTime element has been used - so that there is consistency across all API endpoints using dates. Where time elements do not exist in ASPSP systems - the time portion of the DateTime element will be defaulted to 00:00:00+00:00
  • The Amount elements all have embedded Currency elements - for consistency is ISO 20022, and across the other API endpoints

Permission Codes

The resource differs depending on the permissions (ReadStandingOrdersBasic and ReadStandingOrdersDetail) used to access resource. In the event the resource is accessed with both ReadStandingOrdersBasic and ReadStandingOrdersDetail, the most detailed level (ReadStandingOrdersDetail) must be used.

  • These objects must not be returned without the ReadStandingOrdersDetail permission:
    • OBReadStandingOrder2/Data/StandingOrder/CreditorAgent
    • OBReadStandingOrder2/Data/StandingOrder/CreditorAccount
  • If the ReadStandingOrdersDetail is granted by the PSU:
    • OBReadStandingOrder2/Data/StandingOrder/CreditorAgent may be returned if applicable to the account and ASPSP (0..1)
    • OBReadStandingOrder2/Data/StandingOrder/CreditorAccount must be returned (1..1)

Reference0..1OBReadStandingOrder2/Data/StandingOrder/ReferenceUnique reference, as assigned by the creditor, to unambiguously refer to the payment transaction.

Usage: If available, the initiating party should provide this reference in the structured remittance information, to enable reconciliation by the creditor upon receipt of the amount of money.

If the business context requires the use of a creditor reference or a payment remit identification, and only one identifier can be passed through the end-to-end chain, the creditor's reference or payment remittance identification should be quoted in the end-to-end transaction identification.
