Create Transaction Request (ACCOUNT)

When using ACCOUNT, the payee is set in the request body.

Money goes into the BANK_ID and ACCOUNT_ID specified in the request body.

Initiate a Payment via creating a Transaction Request.

In OBP, a transaction request may or may not result in a transaction. However, a transaction only has one possible state: completed.

A Transaction Request can have one of several states: INITIATED, NEXT_CHALLENGE_PENDING etc.

Transactions are modeled on items in a bank statement that represent the movement of money.

Transaction Requests are requests to move money which may or may not succeed and thus result in a Transaction.

A Transaction Request might create a security challenge that needs to be answered before the Transaction Request proceeds.
In case 1 person needs to answer security challenge we have next flow of state of an transaction request:
INITIATED => COMPLETED
In case n persons needs to answer security challenge we have next flow of state of an transaction request:
INITIATED => NEXT_CHALLENGE_PENDING => ... => NEXT_CHALLENGE_PENDING => COMPLETED

The security challenge is bound to a user i.e. in case of right answer and the user is different than expected one the challenge will fail.

Rule for calculating number of security challenges:
If product Account attribute REQUIRED_CHALLENGE_ANSWERS=N then create N challenges
(one for every user that has a View where permission "can_add_transaction_request_to_any_account"=true)
In case REQUIRED_CHALLENGE_ANSWERS is not defined as an account attribute default value is 1.

Transaction Requests contain charge information giving the client the opportunity to proceed or not (as long as the challenge level is appropriate).

Transaction Requests can have one of several Transaction Request Types which expect different bodies. The escaped body is returned in the details key of the GET response.
This provides some commonality and one URL for many different payment or transfer types with enough flexibility to validate them differently.

The payer is set in the URL. Money comes out of the BANK_ID and ACCOUNT_ID specified in the URL.

In sandbox mode, TRANSACTION_REQUEST_TYPE is commonly set to ACCOUNT. See getTransactionRequestTypesSupportedByBank for all supported types.

In sandbox mode, if the amount is less than 1000 EUR (any currency, unless it is set differently on this server), the transaction request will create a transaction without a challenge, else the Transaction Request will be set to INITIALISED and a challenge will need to be answered.

If a challenge is created you must answer it using Answer Transaction Request Challenge before the Transaction is created.

You can transfer between different currency accounts. (new in 2.0.0). The currency in body must match the sending account.

The following static FX rates are available in sandbox mode:

https://obp-apiexplorer.joinfincubator.com/more?version=OBPv4.0.0&list-all-banks=false&core=&psd2=&obwg=#OBPv2_2_0-getCurrentFxRate

Transaction Requests satisfy PSD2 requirements thus:

1) A transaction can be initiated by a third party application.

2) The customer is informed of the charge that will incurred.

3) The call supports delegated authentication (OAuth)

See this python code for a complete example of this flow.
