FinTech and open banking

Open banking and payment APIs are regulated to a specific security profile. LumoAuth implements FAPI 2.0 with pushed and signed requests, DPoP and mutual-TLS-bound tokens, and the backchannel flow that lets a bank ask a customer to approve a payment on their phone.

Regulators specify the profile; most auth products stop at the basics

PSD2 strong customer authentication, FAPI conformance and audit obligations are not optional features for a bank or a payment initiator.

How LumoAuth solves it

FAPI 2.0 security profile

Turn it on per application: PAR, PKCE, signed requests and responses, sender-constrained tokens. Docs

Sender-constrained tokens

DPoP or mutual TLS so a stolen token cannot be replayed. Docs

Backchannel authentication (CIBA)

The bank initiates; the customer approves on their own device. Docs

Rich authorization requests

Describe the exact payment or account access a token covers. Docs

Strong customer authentication

Passkeys, push approval and adaptive step-up cover the possession and inherence factors. Docs

Audit for regulators

Complete logs, long retention, streaming to your SIEM, and keys in an HSM. Docs

Setting it up

Create the application with the FAPI profile

Register client certificates or DPoP keys

Enable CIBA for payment approvals

Stream the audit log to your SIEM
