SCA

Strong Customer Authentication. PSD2-vorgeschriebene Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung.

Detaillierte Definition auf Englisch. Hospitality-Fachbegriffe (PMS, OTA, RevPAR, ADR) werden auch im deutschsprachigen Hotelbetrieb meist in der englischen Form verwendet.

SCA (Strong Customer Authentication) is the PSD2-mandated two-factor authentication for card-not-present payments in the EU. Typical implementation is 3D Secure 2, which adds a step at booking where the cardholder confirms via banking app or SMS. Modern booking engines and payment processors handle SCA automatically without operator-side configuration.
