      What do PSD2 and SCA mean for you?

      PSD2 – and its requirement for strong customer authentication – will have an impact on all online services and apps involving payments.

      PSD2 – or the second Payment Services Directive – is EU regulation that governs how we make payments online. According to PSD2, nearly all transactions require Strong Customer Authentication (SCA), including at least two of the following:

      1. Password or PIN

      1. Something the customer knows such as a password or PIN

      2. Smartphone

      2. Something the customers have like their smartphone or a hardware token

      3. Fingerprint

      3. Something the customer is such as a fingerprint or facial recognition scan
