Released in February 2020, the Contis-developed solutions for delivering Strong Customer Authentication compliance comprise the following:
- A multi-authentication solution – using a Contis-designed SDK – suitable for clients offering customers access to their account via app. This solution offers a variety of authentication capabilities including ‘tap on the app’, biometrics and OTP.
- A single-authentication solution – using Contis APIs – suitable for clients offering customers access to their account via portal only. This solution offers OTP authentication capability only.
Contis will offer support to clients in their implementation of the SCA solutions. Please contact your Contis Project Manager, Account Manager or API Support for further information.
