PCM

The Metrics Collection Platform (PCM) is a tool managed by BACEN and is used to concentrate data about API calls between institutions. It aims to centralize, analyze, and to automatically provide interoperability metrics of the Open Finance APIs.
Reporting is mandatory for Financial Institutions with the roles of: Receiver, Transmitter and Payment Initiator.

In the context of PCM, these roles are taken as:

  • Client: receiver of the data, who requested it;

  • Server: transmitter of the data, who returned it.

The reports should be sent even if the call was not successful, because they will be used for statistical control and monitoring of the ecosystem.
Upon receiving them, BACEN starts the conciliation process, comparing the information from Client and Server to ensure the compliance of the data. If divergences are identified, the institutions will be notified to fix them.

You can check the submitted reports and the conciliation status through the PCM Portal (in Portuguese).

Sensedia’s Solution

Sensedia’s PCM solution optimizes the delivery of reports using an event-driven architecture, ensuring that the customer:

  • Complies with regulatory requirements and deadlines;

  • Doesn’t need to make any adjustments on their side;

  • Has PCM always up to date with new versions;

  • Avoids operational costs.

Sensedia’s integration with BACEN is performed by Events Hub, our messaging product that ensures the delivering of events to the Central Directory.

For data collection to be performed, the APIs must be exposed on Sensedia’s Gateway.

Institutions that want to do this process autonomously and need the data from the APIs passing through our Gateway, need to request it via Zendesk.
