Remote Dial as a Fallback for PSD2 SCA

Share this post

The main way that we at Okay have decided to support users with accessibility impairments is to enable a “remote dial”. In other words, using voice calls to authenticate the user when required. It is quite simple for the user to receive the call:

  1. We make a call to a pre-registered phone number belonging to the user initiating the transaction.
  2. During the voice call, the user has to listen to the details of the transaction, followed by a “transaction authentication number” (TAN) that must be entered onto the PC.
  3. Once the TAN has been entered in the web browser, the transaction can be confirmed or denied.

Remember, remote dial provides a verification of possession. But there is still a requirement to implement one either out of inherence or knowledge.

Wondering what we think about the other authentication factors? Looking to understand how remote dial complies with PSD2 SCA regulations? Be sure to read the full article at okaythis.com/blog.

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.
