Strong Customer Authentication with 3D Secure 2
Effortless authentication for faster checkout, improved security and increased conversions.
A New Era of Security Is Here
Are you ready? Stay compliant with the European Payment Services Directive (PSD2) including the newly introduced Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) which helps secure electronic payments in face-to-face and remote environments.
The deadline to support SCA was 31 December 2020 for all EU-issued cards and is 14 March 2022 for all UK-issued cards.
Transactions will be at a high risk of declining if 3DS 2 is not implemented within these timescales.

Keeping You in the Know about SCA
SCA is the method of authenticating an individual based on at least two discrete elements of the following three categories:
POSSESSION - Something only you have.
For example, your mobile device registered with your issuing bank or a hardware token that has been issued to you.
INHERENCE - Something only you are.
For example, your fingerprint, iris scan or other form of biometric that can uniquely identify you.
KNOWLEDGE - Something only you know.
For example, a unique passphrase or identification number that is known only by you.
When deployed correctly, SCA offers an opportunity to keep user accounts safe, reducing the incidence of online identity theft or account takeover.
What is 3D Secure 2?
3D Secure 2 was developed to advance the functionality of 3D Secure 1 to meet the requirements of the modern remote payments environment. It introduces new authentication methods, such as biometrics, that better protect today’s consumers. It also provides the possibility of a fully frictionless payment flow by using a more comprehensive data set to authenticate the customer without the need for their intervention.
