Requests for changes and additions

The All Finance Data model is subject to change as a result of (for example) developments in legislation and new regulation for financial services. Changes and additions to the AFD are implemented by SIVI in accordance with the AFD management procedure. The latest and actual version of the AFD is published on the SIVI website every month. Organizations affiliated with SIVI and suppliers cooperating with SIVI (suppliers authorized to use the AFD) can submit a formal request to SIVI for the functional modification of – or an addition to – the AFD data catalog. Several changes can be proposed per request and there are no restrictions on the number of requests that can be made per party. Proposals will only be considered if such a request is clear and enforceable, and if the request does not conflict with other proposals. Requests will be processed by SIVI in order of arrival.

Requests can be made with the form ‘Formulier voor aanvragen wijziging AFD 2.0’. Questions can be made with the form ‘Formulier voor vragen SIVI AFS’. Both forms are available via the SIVI AFS website.

AFD APIs
