Improve Conversions and Security
The PSD2 deadline for compliance with strong customer authentication (SCA) is here. But in 2019 global checkout abandonment was 70%, with $4.6 trillion lost in sales. All players in the payment value chain need to enable secure yet frictionless payments experiences to remain compliant and address this challenge. A strong SCA exemptions strategy can achieve this.

Issuing banks are the last party in the payments value chain. Final approval of any requested SCA exemption, and the associated liability, demand excellent TRA and fraud scoring.
- Achieve compliance with PSD2 SCA for CNP transactions, including instant payments
- Leverage enterprise-wide fraud vector inputs to TRA and scoring
- Integrate with your access control server to successfully apply exemptions
