SCA exemptions: Dynamic Exemption Management
Deliver first-class payments experiences by routing your hard-earned customers away from unnecessary step‑ups at checkout.
Understanding SCA exemptions
To help merchants reduce the friction brought on by strong customer authentication (SCA), PSD2 allows for some SCA exemptions from the 3DS2 authentication step-up. However, each issuing bank has different acceptance rates for each SCA exemption, which include:
- Low-risk payments
- B2B payments
- Trusted sellers
- International payments
- Mail or telephone orders
- Recurring payments
- Low-value payments (under 30€)
It all starts with Transaction Risk Analysis (TRA)
By proactively performing TRA, exempt orders are automatically assessed and assigned a risk decision to confirm there are no red flags with the purchase, further ensuring the order is exempt from unnecessary SCA step-ups and routed down the most efficient checkout path.
