Why do I need to verify my details when paying?

These are the ways by which we can verify your details:

  • We’ll send you a verification code by email to verify your email address

  • We’ll ask you to log into your bank to verify your identity

  • We will ask you to upload a photo ID together with a selfie

What is PSD2?

The Second EU Payment Services Directive (PSD2) makes online payments more secure by requiring a stronger customer authentication procedure (SCA). Because of the directive, you need to confirm your payment with a second authentication step (two-factor authentication). For example with a fingerprint in the online banking app or an additional verification code.
