SCA- RTS includes a number of available exemptions which permit an ASPSP not to apply SCA based on the availability of certain criteria, which consider factors such the amount, the beneficiary and the risk analysis of the transaction.

When the ASPSP determines that an available exemption is applicable to the payment order submitted via the PISP, they may choose not to apply SCA. The SCA and the application of exemptions are solely within the domain of the ASPSP.

Wireframes

To demonstrate an app based redirection part of the journey we have used one variation of PIS journey (Single Domestic Payments – a/c selection @ PISP) as an example, where the ASPSP receives all the details of the payment order from the PISP.

This redirection flow applies to other variations of PIS journeys covered in detail under section Payment Initiation Services (PIS).
