With the current capabilities of Fusion we can explore upon the use case where Fintechs onboard various real account holders, issue a card to them and provide them the flexibility to control the transactions on their card.

Pre-requisites:

  1. Fintech is onboarded in Zeta’s system
  2. Zeta offers various options to control the user’s transactions
  3. All the policies to be applied by Fintech using Zeta’s Account Holder Transaction Policy API offering.

In this tutorial, you will be coming across the various use cases which can be used to control transactions at the card level:

  1. Fintech decides to offer their users the ability to turn on/ off transactions at different channels

  2. Fintech decides to offer their users the ability to set the daily/weekly/monthly/yearly limits.

  3. Fintech decides to offer their users the ability to set the rules of minimum/ maximum balance required for transactions.

  4. Fintech decides to offer users to allow users to only use their cards at selected merchants

  5. Appendix

Before you begin

Keep the following points in mind before making calls to Fusion APIs:

All request examples in the tutorial are provided as cURL samples, and response examples are provided in JSON format.

Fintech decides to offer their users to instantly turn on/ off their card transactions at various channels like ATM, ECOM, POS etc.

CHANNELS ON OFF
ECOM ⚪ ⚫
ATM ⚪ ⚪
POS ⚪ ⚪

Fintech gets user’s input and creates a category (basis the user’s input) , in this case to block the ECOM transaction (refer Appendix to get more information on “attrKey” for other channels)

  1. In the above API, to fetch the account product ID, please use the GET Account Details by Account Holder API, refer “productID” attribute from the mentioned API response to pass it on to “account.pd-id”

  2. COA ID will be provided to the Fintechs by Fusion Team

Fintech onboards a minor and decides to offer the parent to control the spends of the child’s card. Aggregation rules look at the historic state of the account over a period of discreet windows of time to determine if the transaction should be allowed. Currently we have support for these time windows :

  1. Daily
  2. Weekly
  3. Monthly
  4. Quarterly
  5. Yearly

There are two types of aggregation rules

  1. Volume - the aggregation is done on the amount in the transactions
  2. Velocity - the aggregation is done on the count of the transactions

Aggregation rules are configured for actions(debit/credit) and transaction category code.

Transaction Policy is composed of a set of rules. Each rule validates if a transaction should be permitted. A policy permits a transaction when all rules of the policy permit the transaction.
An account may have multiple policies applicable on it at any point in time.
All applicable policies for an account are validated for every credit or debit posted onto an account. If any of the policies disallow a transaction, the transaction will be rejected by the system with a specific error message as specified in the policy.

[P.S.: User defined error codes are supported in system, however if Fintech wants to set error codes as per their choice for better tracking and improving responses, please reach out to Fusion team by providing a set of error codes and once done, the same could be used while creating policies]

Aggregate Expression Codes

The aggExpressioncodes used while creating Transaction Policies are mapped to expressions. Currently there are 8 predefined codes as detailed below.

Code Expression Description
1 dv - druv Sum of debits except uncaptured ones, (excludes credit reversals as well)
2 cv - cruv Sum of credits except uncaptured ones, (excludes debits reversals as well)
3 dc - druc Count of debits except uncaptured ones, (excludes credit reversals as well)
4 cc - cruc Count of credits except uncaptured ones, (excludes debit reversals as well)
5 dv - druv - drv + fdv - fdruv - fdrv Sum of debits that are not reversed or are reversals
6 dc - druc - drc + fdc - fdruc - fdrc Count of debits that are not reversed or are reversals
7 cv - cruv - crv + fcv - fcruv - fcrv Sum of credits that are not reversed or are reversals
8 cc - cruc - crc + fcc - fcruc - fcrc Count of credits that are not reversed or are reversals

API Key Parameters:

Name Description
ifiID IFI or Tenant Identifier
coaID The CoA node identifier. Will be provided by Fusion Team
effectiveFrom Policy Start Date
expiresAt Policy Valid Till / End Date
violationAction The action to be undertaken upon a policy violation. Values: DECLINE, DECLINE_AND_NOTIFY, NOTIFY
