How To create or decide on an Entity ID value in the onboarding request ?

• An Entity ID is a unique identifier that represents a specific entity such as an FIU (Financial Information User), AA (Account Aggregator), or FIP (Financial Information Provider). It should follow a clear, readable naming convention that helps identify the entity.

• Best practice for naming Entity IDs: Use a suffix-based naming convention like:

  • For FIUs: XYZ_FIU

  • For AAs: ABC_AA

  • For FIPs: AXBYCZ_FIP

• For Lower environments you can even add the environment name as well

  • For FIU : XYZ_UAT_FIU or XYX_SANDBOX_FIU

  • For AA : ABC_UAT_AA or ABC_SANDBOX_AA

  • For FIP : AXBYCZ_UAT_FIP or AXBYCZ_SANDBOX_FIP

• Ensure that the Entity ID is a unique and easily recognisable name of the organisation that is getting onboarded. It can include letters, numbers, or symbols, but a simple and meaningful string is recommended.

• Do note, the above examples and recommendations use an underscore ( _ ) as the delimiter. You can also use hyphens ( - ) if preferred.
