2.1.1	05 Nov 2022	Nigel Somerfield	Patch update to Swagger specification to BECSRemittance - DebtorReference and CreditorReference - specify `additionalProperties: false`
2.1.2	26 Oct 2023	Nigel Somerfield	Patch update to Swagger to reflect /wiki/spaces/PaymentsDirectionAPIStandardsDevelopment/pages/1455358006, which determined that the standard error response body should be included in all non-success HTTP responses.

Definition

A resource that describes a posting to an account that results in an increase or decrease to a balance.

OBReadTransaction2

GET /accounts/{AccountId}/transactions

The API endpoint allows a Third Party to retrieve the transactions for a specific AccountId (which is retrieved in the call to GET /accounts).

The Third Party must have an access token issued by the API Provider using an authorization flow (either redirect flow or decoupled flow).

GET /transactions

The API endpoint allows a Third Party to retrieve the transactions in bulk, if an API Provider has implemented the bulk retrieval endpoint.

The Third Party must have an access token issued by the API Provider using an authorization flow (either redirect flow or decoupled flow).
This will retrieve the transactions for all accounts linked to the account-access-consent.

Data Model

The OBReadTransaction2 object will be used for the call to:

GET /accounts/{AccountId}/transactions
GET /transactions

Notes

The use of the term "Transaction" has been made consistently in the Transaction endpoint payload (instead of "Entry" which is the ISO20022 element name)
A DateTime element has been used instead of a complex choice element of Date and DateTime. Where time elements do not exist in API Provider systems - the time portion of the DateTime element will be defaulted to 00:00:00+00:00
The BookingDateTime has been set to mandatory - as all API Providers must provide this field for pagination and filtering. The BookingDateTime is the date the transaction is booked (or posted) and becomes immutable - which is not necessarily the date the transaction took place.
Either the BankTransactionCode (which is the ISO transaction code list), or ProprietaryBankTransactionCode, or both may be populated. While the expectation is that at least one of BankTransactionCode or ProprietaryBankTransactionCode are populated - we have decided not to enforce this behaviour in the payload structure - as this would require nesting elements, and introducing complex choice elements.
The BankTransactionCode (ISO) code-list is documented on the ISO20022 website: https://www.iso20022.org/external_code_list.page; and External Code Sets spreadsheet.
- The ISO 20022 BankTransactionCode Code and SubCode are specified as a 4 letter codes. However - the principle we have applied for the code lists is to have longer more descriptive codes.
- The BankTransactionCode Code and SubCode will be populated with the long form description of the ISO 20022 code, with delimiters removed. E.g., the Family Code "CNTR" has a description of "Counter Transactions" which is populated as "CounterTransactions"
API Providers must have the ability to provide transactions through APIs for a period that at least equals the period provided through their online channels.

Filtering

Limited support for filtering is provided on the transactions resource.

Name	Occurrence	Enhanced Definition	Class
fromBookingDateTime	0..1	Specifies start date and time for filtering of the Transaction records on the Transaction/BookingDateTime field	ISODateTime
toBookingDateTime	0..1	Specifies end date and time for filtering of the Transaction records on the Transaction/BookingDateTime field.	ISODateTime

The API Provider must treat the following as valid input:

Non-working days (e.g. a Sunday or a Public holiday) or any other days on which no transactions are recorded
Dates that fall outside the range for which transaction information is provided through APIs
Dates that fall outside the range for which a consent authorisation is available
Timezone may be included in the filter request - but must be ignored by the API Provider

In the above situations, the API Provider must return data for the remaining valid period specified by the filter.

Filtering Examples

// All transactions from 1st Jan, 2015
GET /transactions?fromBookingDateTime=2015-01-01T00:00:00

// All transactions in 2016
GET /transactions?fromBookingDateTime=2016-01-01T00:00:00&toBookingDateTime=2016-12-31T23:59:59

// All transactions in a specific account up to 31-Mar-2017
GET /accounts/1/transactions?toBookingDateTime=2017-03-31T23:59:59

Permission Codes

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

These objects must not be returned without the ReadTransactionsDetail permission:
- OBReadTransaction2/Data/Transaction/TransactionInformation
- OBReadTransaction2/Data/Transaction/Balance
- OBReadTransaction2/Data/Transaction/MerchantDetails
- OBReadTransaction2/Data/Transaction/CreditorAccount
- OBReadTransaction2/Data/Transaction/DebtorAccount
- OBReadTransaction2/Data/Transaction/CreditorAgent
- OBReadTransaction2/Data/Transaction/DebtorAgent
If the ReadTransactionsDetail is granted by the Customer:
- OBReadTransaction2/Data/Transaction/TransactionInformation may be returned if applicable to the transaction and API Provider (0..1)
- OBReadTransaction2/Data/Transaction/Balance may be returned if applicable to the transaction and API Provider (0..1)
- OBReadTransaction2/Data/Transaction/MerchantDetails may be returned if applicable to the transaction and API Provider (0..1)
- OBReadTransaction2/Data/Transaction/CreditorAccount may be returned if applicable to the transaction and API Provider (0..1)
- OBReadTransaction2/Data/Transaction/DebtorAccount may be returned if applicable to the transaction and API Provider (0..1)
- OBReadTransaction2/Data/Transaction/CreditorAgent may be returned if applicable to the transaction and API Provider (0..1)
- OBReadTransaction2/Data/Transaction/DebtorAgent may be returned if applicable to the transaction and API Provider (0..1)

Enumerations

This section gives the definitions for enumerations used.

Code Class	Name	Definition
OBBalanceType1Code	ClosingAvailable	Closing balance of amount of money that is at the disposal of the account owner on the date specified.
OBBalanceType1Code	ClosingBooked	Balance of the account at the end of the pre-agreed account reporting period. It is the sum of the opening booked balance at the beginning of the period and all entries booked to the account during the pre-agreed account reporting period.
OBBalanceType1Code	Expected	Balance, composed of booked entries and pending items known at the time of calculation , which projects the end of day balance if everything is booked on the account and no other entry is posted.
OBBalanceType1Code	ForwardAvailable	Forward available balance of money that is at the disposal of the account owner on the date specified.
OBBalanceType1Code	Information	Balance for informational purposes.
OBBalanceType1Code	InterimAvailable	Opening booked balance, plus today's credits, plus overdraft facility (if held) minus today debits, minus uncleared funds (note: uncleared funds equal the total of uncleared banked minus any uncleared funds amount held). This is the total available funds the customer is able to access. E.g. Interim Available Balance = Opening Booked Balance + Today's Credits + Overdraft Limit - Today's Debits - Uncleared Funds
OBBalanceType1Code	InterimBooked	This balance will be calculated at individual bank level as per existing internal definitions to ensure consistency for customers. What is included in the displayed balance may differ between banks. E.g. The balance of the account at a point in time / intraday / real time when requested, which may or may not include uncleared funds.
OBBalanceType1Code	OpeningAvailable	Opening balance of amount of money that is at the disposal of the account owner on the date specified.
OBBalanceType1Code	OpeningBooked	Opening Balance of an account at the end of batch processing that interest and fees are calculated on. This is the same balance as Previously Closed Booked Balance. Includes any uncleared funds, regardless of uncleared funds limits. E.g. balance after end of day process.
OBBalanceType1Code	PreviouslyClosedBooked	Balance of the account at the previously closed account reporting period. The opening booked balance for the new period has to be equal to this balance. Usage: the previously booked closing balance should equal (inclusive date) the booked closing balance of the date it references and equal the actual booked opening balance of the current date.
OBCreditDebitCode	Credit	Operation is a credit
OBCreditDebitCode	Debit	Operation is a debit
OBEntryStatus1Code	Booked	Booked means that the transfer of money has been completed between account servicer and account owner Usage: Status Booked does not necessarily imply finality of money as this depends on other factors such as the payment system used, the completion of the end- to-end transaction and the terms agreed between account servicer and owner. Status Booked is the only status that can be reversed.
OBEntryStatus1Code	Pending	Booking on the account owner's account in the account servicer's ledger has not been completed. Usage: this can be used for expected items, or for items for which some conditions still need to be fulfilled before they can be booked. If booking takes place, the entry will be included with status Booked in subsequent account report or statement. Status Pending cannot be reversed.
OBExternalAccountIdentification3Code	BECSElectronricCredit	BECS Electronic Credit - identifier scheme used in NZ by financial institutions to identify the account of a customer. The identifier is bank-branch-account-suffix. The regular expression for this identifier is: ^[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{7}-[0-9]{2}$
OBExternalAccountIdentification3Code	MaskedCardNumber	Masked credit card number. This masked credit card number is the card identification number exactly as it is presented to the Customer in the API Provider’s online portal.
OBExternalFinancialInstitutionIdentification2Code	BICFI	Valid BICs for financial institutions are registered by the ISO 9362 Registration Authority in the BIC directory, and consist of eight (8) or eleven (11) contiguous characters.
OBExternalCardAuthorisationType1Code	Contactless	Card authorisation was via Contactless.
