Content of the Transferee object #8

Open pimg opened 2 years ago

We should allow for sending additional information about a transferee so additional verification can be performed. These include things like LEI, Tax reference numbers, VAT numbers, etc.

The DCSA Party object could be a good fit and could be evaluated for use: DCSA Party object

I don't think it would be necessary to send additional information, because by using the GET /v1/parties API, (please refer to Issue #13), the sender can validate the information themselves directly from the sender platform UI before the transfer. In addition, by sending something like the LEI, there might be the chance that the receiver platform does not have that information for that specific party so nothing can be validated at all.

Another thought about using the DCSA Party object is that I'm not quite sure that this information should be completed by the transferer, only the eBLPlatformIdentifier should be necessary. I mean, the transferee's complete information will be in the receiving platform, why would the sender need to complete this information? In fact, there might be some discrepancies between the information in the receiving platform with the information completed by the transferer, which one should we take as the correct one?

at a very minimal this is indeed optional. But agreed that if the information is indeed already coming from the receiving platform simply sending this back to them does not make much sense.
