We will then contact you to progress your application. What we Provide In accordance with the Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) we provide, access to a Sandbox environment at the current time. The Sandbox provides mocked responses for each of the APIs that we have made available. This will allow you to test that your API calls receive the documented response. The Sandbox is not transactional. We are working to provide access to the live banking system in line with the PSD2 directive. On-boarding After acceptance by the bank to use our APIs, we will create an Application Developer account, provide access to your application key and give you access to our API Catalog in our Developer Portal hosted on Oracle Cloud. , you will be provided with log in credentials to access our Developer API Portal where you can view the API Catalog for the APIs that are relevant to your FCA registration. W The API Catalog provides access to the documentation for each API that we have available. You will receive an email with your username after we have on-boarded you to our API Platform. You can find the application key by viewing ‘My Applications’ in our Developer Portal. Authentication Our APIs are protected by OAuth 2.0 security. We will provide details of the process needed to be followed for security and authentication. The OAuth Policy attached to our APIs asserts the JSON Web Token (JWT) access token and validates various standard claims as defined in RFC7519. For more information about the JWT specification, see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519#section-4.1 We require that the JWT token be signed per the JWS Compact Serialization format. See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7515#section-3. The JWT must have the following characteristics: JWT must contain an issuer (“iss”) claim. JWT must contain an audience (“aud”) claim. JWT must contain an issued (“iss”) and expiry (“exp”) time. JWT should be digitally signed to ensure the integrity of the message. The expectation is that it should be signed asymetrically. The scope should be defined in the JWT as “scope”. The scope claim is a string with scope claim values separated by spaces.
