Presentations

With the enforcement deadlines for the Strong Customer Authentication provision of the Payment Services Directive quickly approaching, it is important to understand which exemptions to PSD2 SCA are available. After providing a quick overview of SCA, Paddy Power Betfair highlights their SCA strategy and looks at types of transactions which are either out of scope or exempt from SCA.

The presentation closes with how TRA could work in a multi-PSP setup and important caveats with delegated Transaction Risk Analysis.
