Open Banking Consent Events
What is an Open Banking Event?
Our Open Banking (OB) event service allows customers to meet regulatory requirements concerning end-user notifications or to provide other functionality dependent on knowing the state of user consent to collect and use data.
To comply with Subdivision 4.3.5 of the CDR Rules, Australian (AU) OB customers must send notifications “in writing otherwise than through the CDR consumer’s dashboard” to end users whenever consent is granted, amended or revoked (CDR Receipts) as well as ongoing notifications for ongoing consents.
We recommend AU OB customers comply with this requirement by sending an SMS or email to end-users. The rules require that notifications must contain details of the consent, including the requested data, use of the data, time of grant and scheduled expiry, data access frequency, data provider name (e.g., ABC bank), the data recipient name and details of any disclosure consents (such as to trusted advisors or of CDR Insights).
We provide these events to customers of all OB-supported regions. Currently, we do not provide these notifications in PDF format. Events are sent asynchronously after user activity, and a delay of approximately 5 minutes is typical.
Note: OB onboarding must be completed for the relevant OB region prior to subscribing to the events service.
Consent Status Updates Event
The consent status updates event - OB_CONSENT
- occurs when consent is created, amended, expired, or revoked. Information from this event can be used to send a CDR Receipt to AU OB end users (see CDR Rules 4.18, 4.18A and 4.18C). Customers from other OB-supported regions can use this information per their business needs.
Event Subscription
Subscribe to the OB_CONSENT
event using the Subscribe Event service and provide the callback URL where the notifications have to be posted. This is a one-time activity unless and until there is a change to the URL. Note that only one webhooks URL at a time is supported.
Account Status Updates Event
The webhook notification OB_ACCOUNT_STATUS_UPDATES
notifies an US OB Account Verification customer when a consumer has removed accounts from the consent or has revoked the overall consent. Consumers can either take this action on the Provider side or by editing the consent through FastLink.
The OB_ACCOUNT_STATUS_UPDATES webhook notification is triggered when:
- The status of the Provider Account changes to:
CONSENT_EXPIRED
CONSENT_REVOKED
- The status of the Provider Account changes to:
ACTIVE
changes toTO_BE_CLOSED
ACTIVE
changes toCLOSED
TO_BE_CLOSED
changes toACTIVE
Only US OB Account Verification customers are recommended to subscribe to the OB_ACCOUNT_STATUS_UPDATES
notification for account status changes.
Event Subscription
Use the Subscribe Event service to subscribe to the OB_ACCOUNT_STATUS_UPDATES
event and provide the callback URL where the notifications have to be posted. This is a one-time activity unless and until there is a change to the URL. Note that only one webhooks URL at a time is supported.
Active Consent Updates Event
The active consent updates event - OB_ACTIVE_CONSENT_REMINDER
- notifies that an end-user consent is still active and has been - 90 days for the AU region and other OB-supported regions 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 days - since the last notification or relevant user action. This event can be used to trigger an ongoing notification to AU OB customers (see CDR Rules 4.20).
