Name |
Description |
Customer |
Customer who uses MPA. |
User |
User using the Admin Panel. |
Card |
Section contains information about customer PANs – physical cards added by customer manually in MPA or bank using LC API. |
IBAN |
Customer bank account number. MCBP enables bank account numbers to be digitized and used for payments. |
Token |
Payment Token in context of MCBP. Tokens are result of correct digitization. Each token has one wallet account, one card/IBAN number and one device related. |
Device |
Device is data aggregate related to customer. Device is entity in MDES – created during MDES registration. Each registration of customer has device on Verestro side, but each customer may have multiple MDES registrations. |
Payment history |
It’s possible that transaction history will be stored on Verestro wallet server for infinite time (this setting can be specified during onboarding with Mastercard). If these options are enabled, MPA can retrieve transaction history for given user and payment instrument ID. Transactions are returned in corresponding parts for better user experience. Particular transaction may appear on the list with delay – depending on integrated external components. |
LCAPI |
API Used for direct integration to partner. Allows to manage users, cards, etc. |
Session token |
Access to the system by a web application user is secured using a session token to uniquely associate the session with the user. It is required to perform any action. |
Main view
Once the authentication process is properly completed, the bank employee has access to the panel. He is shown the main screen of the system. Depending on the assigned rights group its appearance may vary. Different roles in the system have different tabs available.
The components that make up the Admin Portal are:
1) Main menu contains aggregates as: customers, cards, devices, payment history, IBANs, project administration (administrators, visuals, logs),
2) Admin Panel adjusted to the client’s colours and logotype.
3) Filters allows to select multiple filter options and display results that contain information all the selected criteria.
4) List of the most important information referring to each aggregate (example: customers).
5) Actions allows admin to change the status of aggregate or edit data.
