Regulatory compliance related to Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) can be one of the most demanding tasks for any Payment Service Provider (PSP), yet it is nonetheless required. It should be done during the signup process of new customers, but perhaps most importantly, when making payments.
This and other requirements come from the EU’s Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS). The first requirement for authentication is to have two out of three authentication elements: possession, knowledge or inherence.
With the rise of smartphones, however, there are some additional requirements that have come into play. First, the PSP is required to use a separate secure execution environment through the software installed on the device and there should be mechanisms to ensure that the software or device has not been altered by the payer or third party.
In our eyes, the PSD2 background serves as a wish to open the payment market up in the same way that European mobile phone markets opened throughout the 1990s. And we believe the PSD2 does increase the European payment market’s competitiveness. However, it is also important to note that by opening the market up to new technology, the market also becomes more susceptible to new types of crime and fraud.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
