European Commission Finalizes PSD2 Authentication Rules For Corporate Cards

The European Commission has exempted corporate payments from its finalized requirements for payment security authentication. In so doing, the commission resisted vehement opposition from the European Banking Authority

Individual pay cards, which have been treated as consumer cards since the EU Interchange Fee Regulation took effect in 2015, are effectively excluded from the exemption. “Lodge cards, virtual cards and corporate cards with corporate pay are fine, but SCA still is required for plastic cards [that] don’t fall under the exemption,” said Diemer.
