PSD2 Managing Fraud Intelligently

Adaptive analytics and machine learning to help protect you from fraud and prepare for PSD2

Overview

PSD2 focuses on fraud prevention

Fraud in remote payments such as online transactions, has long been a concern. PSD2 looks to tackle this by better authentication of payment transactions. Responsibility for payment security must be managed by the PSPs, PSD2 introduces strong customer authentication as the means to do this. Strong customer authentication often means that consumers must perform additional steps or provide additional information - this adds friction to the customer journey. Customers don’t like delayed or difficult payment processes and PSPs who fail to handle the process well could lose customers. Additional checks can add cost to the payment process as many checks are charged on a per use basis. 

PSD2 allows exemptions from strong customer authentication for those who can keep their fraud levels under specified reference fraud rates, this allows payments under €500 to be secured using transaction risk analysis. The lower a PSP can keep their fraud rates the more they will be able to use transaction risk analysis to secure payments. Using transaction risk analysis will help the PSP to lower friction in the customer payment process, improve customer service and keep the cost of securing payments lower.

Managing payment security for PSD2 will have implications for consumers who are using banking and card services to make payments. When strong customer authentication needs to be used or when authentication fails banks need to communicate effectively with their customers. This means providing customers with the information and instruction they need at the appropriate time using the right channel. Payment service providers that don’t manage the customer communications process well could lose customers as a result.
