Standards Maintenance Issues

  • Maintenance iteration extended until December 1st 2021

  • ID token producing different sub for the same user logged on

    • Issue relates to business agents of a business consumer (non-individual)
    • Persons nominated to operate (share data) on behalf of a business consumer can be assigned by the business where the Data Holder supports such functionality
    • Data Holders may offer up general "users" that are role based e.g. Payroll Officer, CFO and each of these may have limits on the accounts they can see, select and share
    • Data Holders may also offer up nominated user accounts that are assigned to a named individual
    • Where named individuals are sharing data on behalf of the business, it is unclear how the ID Token and consumer data (specifically the Customer API data) are to be shared
    • Currently there is a coupling of ID Token, user subject and Customer API
    • The business agent's individual details are currently exposed via the agentFirstName, agentLastName and agentRole values in the Customer API
    • Potentially better to decouple this and only pass that data in the ID Token keeping the Customer API as specific to the consumer (i.e. the business)
    • Unclear if multiple nominated business agents collect data with the same ADR if that data is transferable or relatable. The business agents are still operating under the one consumer
    • It is understood at present that data collected by one business agent cannot be connected or transferred to another business agent of the same consumer
    • This forces ADRs to delete or deidentify any previously collected data if/when a business agent leaves the organisation
    • DSB to clarify if the Rules permit sharing of data across business agents
    • If this is permitted, the pairwise identifiers for accounts and resource IDs can remain the same across all business agents and a change request will be created by the DSB
    • If this is not permitted, the pairwise identifiers are different for each business agent and data cannot be correlated across different business agents
    • ID Tokens would have a unique subject representing the individual (i.e. the business agent)
    • Community proposed decoupling ID Token (representing the person) from the data (representing the consumer). This way the ID Token is explicitly related to the individual (either the individual consumer or the business agent) and the Customer API data is explicitly related to the consumer (either the individual or business).
    • Discussed the language used for profile and Customer is ambigious and "profile" is used to mean the line of business the consumer operates in vs the "user profile". This has led to some confusion whether a profile step occurs before (or part of) authentication, or as part of authorisation.
    • DSB will create a change request to clarify the definitions of customer/consumer/user/profile
  • Issue 291: Credit card loyalty program data: significant gaps and lack of structure

    • Loyalty cards are a specific feature customers want and one of the reasons they select to take up offers on certain products
    • Currently limited detail provided via the CDR APIs on loyalty data (both PRD and account)
    • Where data is provided, it is mostly free-form text
    • This has led to inconsistency across holders and ADRs have had to source this PRD data elsewhere (often screen scraping websites)
    • Proposed that a more structured definition is offered
      • Include currency of the rewards scheme (e.g. VELOCITY POINTS, QANTAS POINTS, proprietary, etc.)
      • Include earn rate with support for tiering (may be amount spent, capped, tiered)
      • Balance for the account the rewards scheme is attached to
      • Often times, PRD features for rewards are tied to an introductory offer (e.g. 20,000 points on sign up)
    • Loyalty scheme account data is not currently designated. This could be offered as a voluntary standard for accounts and loyalty wallets that is optional for banks to implement.
  • Issue 391: Remove requirement for at least one address in physicalAddresses array

    • No further issues raised.
    • Noted that free form text addresses must still be compliant and valid addresses so unlikely to achieve the desired outcome of providing an address where the structured address is invalid

Any other business

  • Address any other business arising from the community

Actions

  • (#291) Stay Or Go to provide examples of loyalty scheme data
  • (#291) DSB to propose initial structure for consultation
  • (IDToken) DSB to create a CR for customer definition
  • (IDToken) DSB to seek clarification regarding rules for nominated representatives

Other business

None

Next Steps

DSB will follow up with Treasury re: business agents for nominated representative scenarios
