This e-book provides you with an in-depth understanding of customers’ concerns and expectations in regards to SCA and a guide to facilitating a seamless checkout experience.

The new SCA regulations are introduced with the aim of enhancing online payments security as a response to rising fraud attacks.

But there is another side of the story — SCA creates more friction in the customer journey, causing disruptions in the payment ecosystem. As a result, customers are experiencing confusion and frustration with SCA, causing them to abandon their carts and turn to other retailers.

This is detrimental for merchants’ revenue. Based on a Signifyd survey of 2,000 consumers in the UK, France and Italy commissioned by OnePoll, this e-book provides an in depth understanding of customers’ stance on SCA and how merchants can navigate its complexities to create a seamless SCA experience.

In this e-book get key insights into:

  • Customers’ awareness of SCA
  • Customers’ attitudes towards fraud protection
  • The journey of friction in the checkout process
  • The impact of friction on merchants’ revenue
  • Making use of SCA exemptions to optimise authorisation flow
  • Developing a robust SCA strategy
