DIGISEQ and Consult Hyperion explore the role of wearables in the context of PSD2 SCA

Share this post

DIGISEQ recently commissioned Consult Hyperion to do a webinar on SCA PSD2, in this piece we address the issue of SCA (Strong Customer Authentication) in Passive Wearables.

Rules are in place that affect the way banks and other payment services providers check that the person requesting access to an account or trying to make a payment is permitted to do so. The rules are intended to enhance the security of payments and limit fraud during this authentication process.

 

In the case of wearables and SCA under PSD2, the same secure rules apply. All electronic payments on – cards, mobiles, and wearables – are subject to Strong Customer Authentication (SCA). Issuers can either perform SCA on wearables themselves or delegate SCA to the wearable service supplier. If an issuer already connects to tokenisation schemes for Secure Element based devices such as those supporting Apple Pay®, then only minimal further technical integration is required to support the latest generation of passive wearables.

In this webinar you’ll discover supporting SCA on wearables is no harder than supporting SCA on Apple Pay.

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.

Need to change your e-mail address?

For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
