B2B Payments Authentication
Unique Multi-Channel Signing and Validation Capability: Safetronic has been at the core of the UK payments network since the inception of BACSTEL-IP in 2002.
The Banker’s Automatic Clearing System (BACS) selected the Safetronic platform to authenticate payment transactions, ensure traceability of all transactions and provide robust audit trails. Safetronic provides a unique multi-channel signing and validation capability to support simultaneous connection to the 20+ member banks that form BACS. This removes the complexity of securely supporting and managing multiple PKIs from the applications themselves and separates the application logic from security functions, ensuring compatibility with all relevant PKI standards and the required levels of compliance and governance for each scheme.
Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) for Open Banking & PSD2
Comply with the regulator requirements such as UK Open Banking & European Payment Services Directive (PSD2) for Strong Customer Authentication (SCA), whilst retaining a flexible customer focused approach to authentication.
The directive requires that customer and transaction authentication across digital channels be implemented by a compliant multi-factor mechanism that incorporates knowledge, possession and inherence which ensures that both the originator of the transaction and the transaction content can each be strongly authenticated and bound to each other.
Safetronic has been designed to support a diverse range of SCA compliant authentication mechanisms simultaneously. The scalable Safetronic architecture future proofs your authentication investment and enables you to expand your existing security platform to accommodate new or additional authentication mechanisms as they emerge.
Safetronic’s SCA compliant mSign Connected mobile token enables organisations to utilise a single authentication method across all digital channels and abstracts the authentication layer from the business logic.
