Quickstart Guide

Here is a quick summary of steps to help you integrate with Setu’s AA. Before you start, there are some key terms that will be referred to periodically in the documentation—

AA or Account Aggregator

An entity licensed to show financial data requests to a customer and manage consent approvals/rejections. Setu partners with licensed AAs and offers pre-built, themeable screens to present data requests to your customers.

FI

Financial information, the financial data of a user that is being requested for.

FIU or Financial Information User

The entity requesting for data from its customers, i.e., you.

FIP or Financial Information Provider

The entity that you request the financial data from, like a bank or an insurance provider.

FI types / data sources

The types of financial data you can request for, from your customers. Setu AA provides mock data for all 23 FI data types enabled by AA. You can check them out here (opens in a new tab).

Consent Object

This is core of the AA framework, wherein you (the FIU) request for consent from your customer to use one or more FI types. As part of the consent object, you would need to provide details like the reason for data request, how many times the data would be fetched etc. You can read more on the details that are sent as part of consent request here (opens in a new tab).
