Authorisation Server URLs

  • OIDC Well Known endpoint: https://auth1.openbanking.zopa.com/.well-known/openid-configuration
  • baseUrl: https://auth1.openbanking.zopa.com/

Authorisation URL

We currently only support redirect via a deeplink to the Zopa mobile app - this deeplink is different depending on the type of consents (AIS or PIS) and needs to be constructed as follows:

  • AIS Authorisation URL: zopa://consent-access-request?client_id={{ the client ID }}&response_type=code&scope=openid%20accounts&request={{the JWT token}}
  • PIS Authorisation URL: zopa://open-banking/pis-single-payment-consent?client_id={{ the client ID }}&response_type=code&scope=openid%20payments&request={{the JWT token}}

Resource Server URLs

Dynamic Client Registration

Our API allows dynamic client registration in order to create a valid client that is able to use our Authorisation Server. We only trust Software Statement Assertions (SSAs) issued by the Open Banking Directory provided by Open Banking Limited. eIDAS certificates are supported via onboarding to the Open Banking Directory (as discussed in more detail below).

The url of the registration endpoint is advertised on our OIDC Discovery Endpoints using the registration_endpoint claim.

The aud claim used in the outer JWT of a Dynamic Client Registration request is the Open Banking Limited issued org_id (as documented in the Open Banking Limited DCR v3.1 standard).

Production security profile

As defined further in the Zopa Open Banking API Specification

  • ID Token Signing Algorithm: PS256
  • Response Types: code id_token
  • Request Object Signing Algorithms: PS256
  • Token Endpoint Auth Signing Algorithms: PS256
  • Token Endpoint Auth Methods: private_key_jwt, tls_client_auth

For private_key_jwt - the aud claim is the url of the token endpoint as specified in OIDC client authentication.

The request object used in OIDC flows the aud claim is the issuer url from the Zopa ASPSP .wellknown endpoint: https://auth1.openbanking.zopa.com/.well-known/openid-configuration - though please see above for details of our authorisation URLs which require TPPs to construct deeplinks.

Note: Our Sandbox API also offers less strict profiles to assist with integration testing.

Certificate Support

OB WAC & OB Seal

We support the use of OBWAC and OBSeal on our production and sandbox environments. TPPs can use their QWACs and QSeals to onboard to the OBL directory and generate these certificates.

QWACs

We support the use of QWACs, but this is not our recommended approach. TPPs facing issues onboarding with QWACs should contact our support desk. Please attach a pem file of the certificate to your support ticket.

QSeal

We support the use of QSeals that have been attached to your software statement in the OB Directory.

Tokens

Our refresh tokens last one year, after this TPPs will need to generate a new consent in order to get a new refresh token.
