Remote Dial as a Fallback for PSD2 SCA
The main way that we at Okay have decided to support users with accessibility impairments is to enable a “remote dial”. In other words, using voice calls to authenticate the user when required. It is quite simple for the user to receive the call:
- We make a call to a pre-registered phone number belonging to the user initiating the transaction.
- During the voice call, the user has to listen to the details of the transaction, followed by a “transaction authentication number” (TAN) that must be entered onto the PC.
- Once the TAN has been entered in the web browser, the transaction can be confirmed or denied.
Remember, remote dial provides a verification of possession. But there is still a requirement to implement one either out of inherence or knowledge.
