# General Information

This documentation is intended for technical personnel implementing solutions related to Arion bank’s B2B services. The manual contains use cases, descriptions of functions and format of data.

### About the Service&#x20;

The Currency Rate Service allows companies to retrieve information about currency rate registrations. It enables access to currency rate information for general rates, note rates, or customs rates. A list of all available currencies with registered information is always returned.&#x20;

### Identity and Access Management&#x20;

Access control for the service follows the same model as the online banking system, where users are authenticated with a username and password. Additionally, communications between the web service and the user’s system are signed with an electronic certificate.&#x20;

The Currency Rate Service is based on the Interbank Schema 2013. The service has a defined WCF endpoint with a Mutual Authentication security model. Information transmitted between systems is encrypted over HTTPS, ensuring maximum security. For detailed instructions on authentication for B2B services, refer to the manual - [Authentication and Certificates](/b2b-2013-schema/b2b-services/b2b-setting-up-a-authentication-and-certificates.md).&#x20;
