# 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
The Foreign Payments Service is an extension of the system with the same name in Arion Bank’s online bank. Payments can be made into foreign bank accounts, either in the form of individual payments or multiple batch payments. Receipts for payments and lists of payment requests can also be obtained.
### Identity and Access Management
Access control for the service follows the same model as the Arion 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.
The Foreign Payment Service is built on Arion Bank's own schema. 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).
