System Configuration
Agents use the System Configuration option to configure system parameters, such as fees, exchange rates, transaction restrictions, or terms and conditions.
In this section:
Exchange Rate
Agents can use the Exchange Rate option to configure exchange rates
between currencies that are set up during system installation, which provide a default rate
for transactions. In addition to setting up exchange rates, agents can view previous
exchange rates. For example, if you change the exchange rate from USD to EUR, you see the
old exchange rate in the exchange-rate history search results.
Fees
Fees and commissions are calculated for payers and payees in financial
transactions, per subtransaction. However, fees and commissions are processed differently:
fees are applied and charged during transaction processing; commissions are collected and
settled offline in batch mode.
Limits
Financial limits are evaluated during transaction processing. During
transaction initialization, payer and payee limits are checked individually.
Privileges
Use the Privileges option to define the required privileges for dual
approval. For example, use the Create Customers option to create a new customer-type
approval configuration. Depending on the customer type, you can configure maker-checker
privileges.
Global Configuration
The Global Configuration option displays the current configuration
settings for the organizational unit, customer type, and risk category. Global
configurations are created during initial setup. You cannot create additional
configurations; you can only edit existing configurations.
Dual Approval
Dual approval is configured during the initial system setup; however,
agents can change or add a new configuration anytime. Dual approval is a system-level
configuration, so changes can affect many dual-approval processes, such as customer
registration, wallet entries, and transactions. Use the Find Pending Approval option to see
any pending tasks associated with the dual-approval configuration.
Restrictions and Restriction Groups
Use the Restrictions option to configure rules that restrict
transaction processing for payers and payees, based on their transaction history. A
restriction first determines whether it applies to the current transaction, then it
accumulates historical transaction data and checks for restriction violations.
Service Packages and Terms and Conditions
Service packages enable features for a specific customer type or
class. Customers can inherit roles and privileges through service packages, as well as
through their customer type and risk category. A service package is valid for an
organizational unit and customer type. Service packages are assigned when a consumer is
registered, either self-assignment in the portal, or through a call-center agent. Some
service packages can be assigned multiple times to a single customer.
Credential Policies
Credential policies define the rules for composing credentials, such
as the minimum and maximum length of a password or PIN. Credential policies also define the
number of times a credential can be used, the number of allowable authentication failures,
and the time range during which the credential is valid. You can add new policies, and edit
and remove existing policies.
Interest Configuration
Interest Configuration is used to apply interest to balances on stored
value accounts (SVAs), which is similar to how interest is calculated for regular bank
accounts. Interest is calculated for each SVA, based on the balance at the end of a
calculation period. You can configure various interest schemes, and group them into
products; products can be mapped to an SVA, based on the organizational unit, customer type,
and payment instrument type.
GL Account Tree
The general ledger (GL) account tree can replicate the GL account
structure of an enterprise.
