SCA elements explained

SCA compliance is a requirement of PSD2, which provisions building an additional authentication to implement to the payment flow.

It’s a combination of at least two out of three possible elements to authenticate a payment which are:
Possession:
  • OTP

    Device confirmed by one-time-password generated or received on a particular device (token, SMS).

  • Token

    Device confirmed by a signature generated on a device (soft- or hardware token).

  • QR code

    Card or device confirmed by an external device-scanned QR code.

  • Device binding

    Application or browser with possession by the device binding — via a security chip or private key, etc.

  • Card reader

    Card confirmed by a card reader.

  • CSC

    Card with possession confirmed by a dynamic card security code.

Payment Services Directive

PSD2 is an abbreviation for the second edition of The Payment Services Directive, which is the latest version of guidelines regulating the electronic payment service providers in the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA).

It is a set of rules and laws, provisioning the payment industry's operation created to make European transactions more protected, boost innovations and help banks and financial services adopt the latest technologies.

Protect businesses and individuals from fraud.
Improve the operation rules for money-related service providers and equalise overall conditions.
Ensure transactions are secured.
Increase the efficiency of the European payments market.

All of the above security changes and improvements are made to comply with the updated directive.
