Comment on PSD2 news from SafeCharge
Phil Atherton, Chief Risk Officer, SafeCharge, on the changes to PSD2 regulation and the limit for SCA on transactions:
The change in limit from €10 to €30 is welcome (even though it’s unclear how this will apply to the UK), as is the exception for those using transaction risk analysis – but many questions remain how this exception will be implemented.
We know that risk analysis is the most effective way to beat fraud, but proving that a particular system works will only add to an already heavy reporting burden on companies. What will be seen as an acceptable level of fraud? What minimum standards will need to be met in order to have an acceptable risk analysis system? How will the ongoing, 18-month assessment of these systems be carried out? How will this apply to services such as Amazon’s one-click ordering?
The proposals are currently very vague indeed – especially when compared to the specific transaction limit for two-factor authentication. Far more detail is needed before the industry can decide if this change is an improvement or just an added complexity to already-convoluted regulation.
