EPSM recommends harmonised migration plans on PSD2-SCA

Press release from: EPSM

EPSM appreciates the acknowledgement by the European Banking Authority (EBA) that the payments trade needs a flexible approach with the introduction of Regulatory Technical Requirements (RTS) for Strong Customer Authentication (SCA). These will become applicable from 14th September 2019.

EPSM has suggested timeframes for a harmonised migration approach on PSD2-SCA. EPSM is aware that migration plans are currently being negotiated by payment industry participants, together with their respective national authorities, such as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The aim is to find appropriate solutions for solving technical and operational challenges posed by remote card payments –for merchants, card holders, issuers, and acquirers.

EPSM has made clear that rolling out SCA-compliant solutions to merchants poses major challenges. To avoid significant acceptance disruptions, EPSM recommends that all regions should agree an additional timeframe of 18 months for standard applications, as well as up to 36 months for challenging applications, such as those in the travel and hospitality sector.

This will deliver an EU-wide harmonised migration approach by the EBA and the 28 national regulators for remote card payments. Today, EPSM has issued an overview on the PSD2-SCA with more details, which is available on the EPSM website (www.epsm.eu).
