# 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 Statements Service retrieves information on foreign accounts of the logged-in user. It is also possible to get statements showing transactions on the accounts according to the transaction period. The Schema has similar data that the MT940 Swift format specifies.
### 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 Statement 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).
