Strong Customer Authentication - a Litmus Test for Europe

  Great post. From my experience of 2FA in India over the last +5 years, I totally agree with you that SCA could cause massives loss of sales due to higher friction in the checkout process as also due to greater risk of failed payments. I used to regularly pay with credit card online for +10 years before 2FA was mandated for online payments in India around 5 years ago but after 2FA was enforced, I switched to Cash on Delivery or Card on Delivery for all my online shopping in India (although I continue to use credit card outside India). I wrote about this four years ago in Why I Went From Card To COD. Two years ago, I pointed out that Cash Still Ruled Ecommerce In India.

  I happened to stumble on to this post today. 6 years later, plastic is still alive and kicking. Apple made great progress in digitizing and tokenizing third party issued credit cards in Apple Pay to minimize the role of the physical plastic card but, when it came to its own card, Apple has chosen plastic - er titanium - for its own Apple Card. Merchants also continue to care only about the card, not cardholder's physical presence at the point of sale.
