What is PSD2?
The Second EU Payment Services Directive (PSD2) makes online payments more secure by requiring a stronger customer authentication procedure (SCA). Because of the directive, you need to confirm your payment with a second authentication step (two-factor authentication). For example with a fingerprint in the online banking app or an additional verification code.
