Strong Customer Authentication, embrace the change. Benefit from new opportunities.

New legislation means that the payment journey for your customers will change to include increased authentication methods and 3DS v2 will become mandatory for UK E-commerce retailers by 31st December 2020.

Time is of the essence.

If you’re not ready, up to 25% of your payments could be declined, meaning a considerable loss of business. 

There’s a lot to do… and quickly.

Whilst many retailers will have a hard time navigating the implementation of 3DS2, which can be costly and time consuming, not all retailers are the same. The impacts on an online grocery retailer will be completely different to that of an online fashion retailer. However, in addition to 3DSv2, there are other options for Retailers to consider, which have the potential to reduce both risk to trade and payment costs. 

BGS has developed an SCA roadmap.
