# Overview

The accounts resource is used by an AISP to retrieve full list of accounts and account infromation that the PSU has authorised to access.

This resource description should be read in conjunction with a compatible Account Information Services API Profile.

# Endpoints

Endpoints for the resource - and available methods.

	Resource	HTTP Operation	Endpoint	Mandatory?	Scope	Grant Type	Idempotency Key	Parameters	Request Object	Response Object
1	accounts	GET	GET /accounts	Mandatory	accounts	Authorization Code	No	Pagination		OBReadAccount6
2	accounts	GET	GET /accounts/{AccountId}	Mandatory	accounts	Authorization Code	No			OBReadAccount6

# GET /accounts

First Step The first step for an AISP after an account-request is authorised - is to call the GET /accounts endpoint.

An AISP will be given the full list of accounts (the AccountId(s)) that the PSU has authorised the AISP to access. The AccountId(s) returned may then be used to retrieve other resources for a specific AccountId. The selection of authorised accounts happens only at the ASPSP's interface.

# GET /accounts/{AccountId}

An AISP may retrieve the account information resources for the AccountId (which is retrieved in the call to GET /accounts).

# Data Model

The OBReadAccount6 object will be used for the call to:

GET /accounts/{AccountId}
GET /accounts

# Resource Definition

This resource represents the account to which credit and debit entries are made. Each account resource will have a unique and immutable AccountId.

# Notes

The Account and Servicer structure has been designed to:
- Reflect the DebtorAccount and DebtorAgent (and similarly for CreditorAccount and CreditorAgent) structures in the PISP use case.
- Having a SchemeName for the Account and Servicer blocks means we can be flexible to accommodate multiple types of accounts.
For common Domestic UK identification schemes:
- Account/Account
  - Where "UK.OBIE.SortCodeAccountNumber" is specified as the SchemeName, the Identification field must be populated with the 6 digit Sort Code and 8 digit Account Number (a 14 digit field).
  - Where "UK.OBIE.IBAN" is specified as the SchemeName, the Identification field must be populated with the full IBAN.
  - Where "UK.OBIE.PAN" is specified as the SchemeName, the Identification field must be populated with the primary PAN linked to the account. An ASPSP may choose to mask digits returned in the Identification field.
- Account/Servicer
  - Where "UK.OBIE.BICFI" is populated as the SchemeName, the Identification field must be populated with the BIC.
The SecondaryIdentification field is used to identify an account in addition to the primary Account/Identification field. SecondaryIdentification may be populated with a roll number for building societies, or a currency code where an account has multiple currency sub-accounts.
The SwitchStatus field is used to indicate that an account is undergoing an account switch.
- An ASPSP may populate this field with the value UK.CASS.NotSwitched to indicate that the account has not been switched.
- Once an account switch has been completed, an ASPSP may populate this field with the value UK.CASS.SwitchCompleted
The following fields are optional only for accounts that are switched. For all other accounts, the fields must be populated by the ASPSP.
- Data.Currency
- Data.AccountType
- Data.AccountSubType

# Permission Codes

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

These objects must not be returned without the ReadAccountsDetail permission:
- OBReadAccount6/Data/Account/Account
- OBReadAccount6/Data/Account/Servicer
If the ReadAccountsDetail is granted by the PSU:
- OBReadAccount6/Data/Account/Account must be returned (1..n)
- OBReadAccount6/Data/Account/Servicer may be returned if applicable to the account and ASPSP (0..1)

If the ReadPAN permission is granted by the PSU, the ASPSP may choose to populate the OBReadAccount6/Data/Account/Account/Identification with the unmasked PAN (if the PAN is being populated in the response).

# Usage Examples

# Bulk - Detail Permission

The call to GET /accounts is the first step after an account-request is authorised. This will allow the AISP to discover which accounts (and AccountId values) are associated with the authorisation of consent. In this scenario, AccountId 22289 has a building society roll number; and AccountId 31820 does not. The ReadAccountsDetail permission has been granted.
