### Compliance and security {#compliance-and-security}

Yes. Compliance and security is integral to Mastercard Open Finance, including the EU's legislation, PSD2 (Revised Payment Service Directive). To make payments safer than ever, Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) is an EU requirement that's set in place to reduce fraud. This means, when a customer authorizes AIS or PIS access to their account, the bank will require the customer to authenticate using at least two of the three following authentication measures:

* Something the customer knows (password or pin)
* Something the customer has (phone or laptop)
* Something the customer is (fingerprint or face recognition)
