INFO
What you need to know about the ForgeRock Open Banking Sandbox as a Service
What is Open Banking and PSD2?
New customer-centric banking models are transforming financial services for the new digital economy. PSD2 (the EU’s Revised Payment Service Directive) and Open Banking pose a new set of technical requirements to ensure customer data is secure and only accessed with authorisation and consent. The Open APIs called for make it possible for Third Party Providers (TPPs) to enter the banking and payment ecosystem, delivering unprecedented innovation and competition.
What Is ForgeRock's involvement in the Open Banking space?
ForgeRock is a key enabler in making PSD2 and Open Banking a reality through the development of a cloud-based application, the Model bank and ForgeRock Directory that deliver the ability to demonstrate and test functionality being designed for an Open Banking ecosystem.
When do I need a sandbox?
In order to achieve exemption from the provision of a fallback or screen scraping interface, Account Providers are required to enable connection and functional testing for TPPs by March 14, 2019, at least six months before the September 14, 2019 enforcement date of the Regulatory Technical Standard. This requirement enables authorised payment initiation service providers, payment service providers and account information service providers to test their software and applications used for offering a service to users.
What is the ForgeRock sandbox ?
Built to Open Banking UK API specifications, the ForgeRock Open Banking Sandbox provides the agreed standard for testing the functionality of Account Information Service Providers (AISPs) and Payment Initiation Service Providers (PISPs). With this service, organizations in the ecosystem are able to accelerate the development of web and mobile applications for Payment Service Users, such as personal and business banking customers.
With tight timescales to meet the deadlines, the ForgeRock Open Banking Sandbox can provide Account Providers with a compliance ready, cloud hosted service that saves time and money, now and for the future. With this service, ForgeRock is providing a key element for helping financial institutions to ensure success with this wide-ranging set of regulations.

||
| Customization | ||
| Simple branding of the UI | ||
|
We offer a UI palette, which allows you to do some simple branding without writing any code. Our UI customization is currently limited to :
|
||
| Customize PSU data | ||
| Create new PSUs and customize the financial data for each of them. Via REST APIs, the format expected is the latest Open Banking data-model. Those APIs will be restricted to your admin system. | ||
| AS customizations | ||
| You can customize the AS well-known to match your production environments. For example, you can enable the ‘private_key_jwt’ and disable the ‘client_secret_basic’ token authentication method. | ||
| RS customizations | ||
|
Out of the box, we currently allow you to:
|
||
| Custom domain | ||
| Customize the domain of your sandbox. For example sandbox.YourCompany.com | ||
| Custom HTTP certificate | ||
| The sandbox will be exposed under HTTPs. By default, it will be “Let’s encrypt” certificates. You can choose to use your own certificates from your favorite CA. | ||
| Security | ||
| OIDC conformant | ||
| Our sandbox uses ForgeRock AM, our OIDC provider that has been OIDC certified since 2015. | ||
| FAPI 2 Conformant | ||
| Our sandbox was FAPI 2 certified by OIDF in March 2019. | ||
| Open Banking Security Profile | ||
| Our sandbox has been Open Banking security conformant since March 2018. | ||
| On-Boarding | ||
| OBIE Sandbox Directory Integration | ||
| Our sandbox is integrated with the OBIE sandbox directory. This means TPPs registered in this directory will be able to access the Open Banking APIs. | ||
| Customer Dedicated Directory | ||
|
ForgeRock has implemented an Open Banking directory dedicated for testing. This allows your developers to access the sandbox as a TPP without the need to register to OBIE. This is particularly handy for your automated testing. |
||
| Dynamic On-Boarding | ||
|
Support the Dynamic Client Registration as per Open Banking specification. TPPs would be able to on-board your sandbox automatically, via REST APIs. |
||
| Manual On-Boarding | ||
| Support manual on-boarding of TPPs via a user interface (UI). | ||
| ASPSP | ||
| Payment Simulation | ||
|
Payments completed by TPPs are simulated. For example,the account of the PSU will be debited, and the credit accounts would be credited accordingly (if the creditor account(s) is owned by the account servicing payment service provider [ASPSP] as well). We support payment simulation for all of the different payments flows, including international payments and payment files. |
||
| Hosting | ||
| IP Filtering by Services | ||
| The ForgeRock Open Banking Sandbox supports IP filtering on APIs/UI on demand. For example, you could restrict the access of the ForgeRock directory to your office. | ||

| Support | ||
| Support Level | none | Silver support |
