About Arvato BIG
General information about Arvato BIG
Paygate is replacing the eScore interface with the arvato interface BIG (Business Information Gateway). eScore will be shut down by mid 2016, until which time it controls access to the scoring services of Arvato Financial Solutions. As a SOAP web service BIG is based on standard technologies and can therefore be integrated with different programming languages on different platforms. BIG uses the XML Digital Signature (XML DSig) process and meets current requirements on data protection and security.
Compared to the previous interfaces it is possible to carry out the request object email address and a FakeNameCheck with BIG. BIG also supports individual applicant score results and their description wherein debt collection information is also included in the scoring.
We have added checking of personal creditworthiness and suspicion of fraud, checking of personal identity and address, suspicion of fraudulent names and email addresses and a score check in relation to credit, identity and fraud wherein the products used can be combined based on standardized data output.
In future, an interface will also enable international risk checks for Austria, Holland and Switzerland.

Configuration for BIG
Each merchant needs a SubclientID to set up a MerchantID for the various BIG services. The SubclientID is set up in the BIG system with arvato and it describes the merchant account at arvato and a central Computop ClientID.
The SubclientID at arvato, from which the corresponding MerchantID in Paygate is obtained, also needs to be enabled for all products.
The request reason stored in the configuration allows the Request Reason parameter to be permanently specified so that it need not be transferred in the request. See also the table of possible values in the area interface.
In the test mode the system is controlled by arvato and the test cases provided by arvato can be transferred.
