12.2.2Research amongst consumers has shown that 29% of participants actively prefer a browser-based PIS journey for a single domestic payment, while 32% prefer an app based journey. Those preferring a browser-based journey refer to security and ease to explain their choice. Those preferring the app based alternative select it because they deem it easier than the web-based experience, with fewer mentioning security.Security

42.2.3Research amongst consumers has shown that within a TPP domain in an app to app context, 45% of participants want to have a 'proceed' button to click after reviewing account information, to confirm payment and begin the biometric authentication process.

A two to three second delay on the redirections screens, may encourage wider take up without causing irritation as the time delay provides reassurance of the bank’s involvement. This is important to older consumers and the less financially savvy.
62.3.1Research shows that consumers are familiar with decoupled authentication when making a payment or setting up a new payment. This means that, if PIS journey designs follow similar patterns, consumers will be comfortable with them. Many welcome the additional level of security decoupled authentication provides.Security
