Confirmation of Funds

Overview

Confirmation of funds (CoF) allows third party providers to check if a specific account has sufficient funds at the time of the request. Notice that the request do not reserve the amount for later payment.

Before using CoF, a Conformation of Funds consent (called CoF consent) between the end user and the ASPSP must be in place. The CoF consent is initiated from the TPP.

The CoF product is PSD2 compliant.

For every end user

  • End user signs CoF consent for the specific account
