PSD2 SCA & Dynamic Linking

Built for banks and fintechs, we help financial organizations comply with PSD2 SCA by using two independent authentication factors and dynamically linking transaction amount and account number.

What is PSD2 SCA?

PSD2 SCA mandates that all EU banks authenticate the identity of their customers by using at least two independent authentication factors and dynamically link transaction amount and account number.
Our passwordless authentication solutions are multi-factor by design and provide dynamic linking for all electronic transactions.

SCA with one user action

Keyless combines the two strongest authentication factors of inherence and possession, eliminating reliance on knowledge and shared secrets.
Each factor is verified independently of the other, providing true multi-factor authentication with a simple selfie.

Dynamic linking for payment authorization

Keyless dynamically links transaction amount and account number by generating a unique and independent one-time code after each successful transaction.
This ensures stronger payment authentication, aligns with PSD2 SCA requirements, and integrates seamlessly via the Mobile SDK for a secure, user-friendly, and compliant payment experience.

Case study: International Bank

An international bank based in the EU was looking for a PSD2 SCA-compliant authentication solution that offered dynamic linking without increasing user friction.
Keyless was chosen due to its unique ability to independently authenticate possession and inherence without centrally storing biometric data.
