Yapily Connect

Introduction

Yapily Connect is Yapily's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) registered entity. Yapily Connect grants you simple, easy and quick access to open banking data and payments without the need to obtain a Third-Party Provider (TPP) license.

As a TPP, Yapily Connect can provide Account Information Service Provider (AISP) and Payment Initiation Service Provider (PISP) licenses on your behalf to access the Open Banking network.

This removes the complexity and cost of acquiring the necessary license to access the open banking network if you are not currently registered.

Integration differences

  • Yapily handles institution registration for you
  • You display Yapily Connect as the regulated entity that is requesting your customer's financial data or initiating a payment
  • The user sees Yapily Connect Ltd/UAB instead of your company's name when they log in to their bank
  • You use the callback URL to specify the user journey. You must use Yapily's default redirect URL

UX guidelines

Official guidelines

To create the best user experience, it's critical that the interplay between the TPP and the ASPSP is as seamless as possible. In particular it is essential that the PSU is clearly informed about the consent they are providing and the service they are receiving. The EBA RTS sets out key aspects that need be followed, and in the UK, the Open Banking Implementation Entity (OBIE) have also created a set of UX guidelines that TPPs regulated within the UK should follow:

Yapily guidelines

Yapily suggests that all customers become familiar with the OBIE guidelines for their particular use case.

We provide guidelines for the suggested layouts, content and flow for Yapily Connect customers. In particular, we include guidelines for the authorisation overview screen that is shown to the PSU before they are redirected to their bank. This screen must give adequate details of Yapily Connect, as this is the legal entity to which the PSU must agree to allow to access their account on behalf of the TPP.
