Accordingly, on a gradual basis from 15 May, and permanently after a four-week adjustment period, banks will be able to reject any non-compliant transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, e-merchants may request a strong authentication exemption for transactions meeting the exemption conditions set out in the PSD2:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Transactions for less than \u20ac30;<\/li><li>Transactions deemed low-risk by banks and\/or the retailer, irrespective of the amount (recurring payments such as subscriptions, payments to a trusted beneficiary).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Note: strong authentication calls two of the following items to be validated for online purchases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Information that only you know (pin code, password);<\/li><li>Use of a device that you own (telephone, computer, device provided by the bank);<\/li><li>A personal feature (fingerprint, face recognition).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For customers without a smartphone, banks offer alternative solutions such as single-use text messages coupled with a password known by the customer, or use of a dedicated physical device. The purpose of strong authentication is to enhance payment security for consumers, and it is critical to be able to provide solutions to all customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3w5vgBh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Retail customers<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3eIbp4Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Professional customers<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fbf.fr\/fr\/communique_de_presse\/info-presse-fbf-15-mai-2021-mise-en-place-de-lauthentification-forte-pour-tous-les-achats-en-ligne\/\">INFO PRESSE FBF &#8211; 15 mai 2021 : mise en place de l\u2019authentification forte pour tous les achats en ligne<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"author\"><div class=\"author__wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"author__portrait\" src=\"https:\/\/fbf.fr\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Benoit-Danton.jpeg\" alt=\"\"><p class=\"author__name\">Benoit DANTON<\/p><p class=\"author__contact\">bdanton@fbf.fr<\/p><p class=\"author__contact\">+33 (0)6.73.48.80.40<\/p><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting on 15 May 2021, French banks are calling for strong authentication, in conjunction with the payments ecosystem, for online purchases.
