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 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.
