Hello,

We want to let you know of an upcoming change and how it impacts you as a TPP.  The change is to uplift to 3.1.4 as prescribed by Open Banking. This will be completed the week of the 23rd November 2020.

Migration to the Open Banking 3.1.4 API Specification

As part of our migration to the Open Banking 3.1.4 API specification we will be making changes to our AIS, PIS and CBPII API’s. This will include mainly non-breaking changes.

We wanted to give early visibility of one breaking change to any TPP’s using our international endpoints.

What are we changing and why?

• As part of our alignment to the 3.1.4 PIS specifications we will be changing the behaviour and validation of one field in the international payment consent payload request.
• Today we require TPP’s to always provide the  field - OBInternational3/CreditorAgent/PostalAddress/Country
• This field will no longer be mandatory and will be optional
• A specific field has been introduced for the purpose of identifying the credit account country called - OBInternational3/DestinationCountryCode
• This field will be mandatory for all international payments
• We will be updating our developer portal documentation and sandbox services to reflect this change.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate in reaching out to our support mailbox api@aib.ie

We appreciate your co-operation with this.

Best regards,

AIB
