Extend an Account Information Service (AIS) Consent

· 2 min read

Effective:

  • 27 March 2024 on Sandbox
  • 2 April 2024 on Live

The Account Information Service (AIS) consents are granted for up to 90 days, after which, your users are required to extend their consent to continue using the associated Linked Account therefore we have updated the AIS component to support the extension of the consent.

The Get Linked Accounts & Get a Linked Account endpoints have been updated to contain the consent information with the below fields:

  • expiresAt
  • expiresIn
  • status

Note: If the consent has expired the:

  • expiresAt will contain a value of '0'.
  • expiresIn will contain the date in the past of the AIS consent expired.

You will also receive the AIS consent expiry and status (expiresAt, expiresIn & status) in the link account update event.

To extend the consent you need to provide the linkedAccountId parameter of the linked account in the AIS UI Component.

The consent can be initiated before 90 days elapse, this means that your user will be shown a consent renewal request screen for Weavr to continue accessing their bank account information. If the user clicks on 'I Consent' then the AIS consent will extended for another 90 days.

Initiating the AIS consent after 90 days, can still be extended, however your user will be shown an expired consent screen. To renew the consent, your user will be redirected to their Bank's portal to approve the consent request. In the Banking portal, the bank will ask them to authenticate and re-confirm the bank account to be shared.
