Strong Customer Authentication or SCA has become necessary under the EU's Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2).
This regulation concerns all online transactions within the European Economic Area. Companies that implement SCA will be compliant with the regulation and avoid potential penalties. This has become an essential process for certain companies that handle online transactions on a daily basis. We invite you to discover how Transaction Risk Analysis (TRA) and Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) exemptions can streamline your checkout process.
TRA is becoming increasingly popular as a method of authentication, to exempt SCA when it’s not necessary. The process denotes analyzing a range of transaction risk factors, including the amount of the transaction, transaction history, GEO location, to detect if another layer of authentication is necessary. You might find the document valuable when formulating your next effective strategy to enhance user experiences and payment security.
