STRONG CUSTOMER AUTHENTICATION – SAFER PAYMENTS, MORE SECURE ACCESS!

ProCredit Bank is implementing Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) for card payments and access to ProBanking. This measure enhances security and helps prevent online fraud.

Strong Customer Authentication (SCA)

📝 When is Strong Authentication applied?
  • Card payments at POS terminals in the Republic of Moldova
  • Online card transactions (e‑commerce)
  • Login and operations in ProBanking / Mobile Banking
⚙️ How does Strong Authentication work?
  • Something you are – biometric identification (fingerprint, facial recognition)
  • Something you have – a mobile device or another authentication tool
  • Something you know – card PIN, a static password* or your phone unlock method

*What is the static password made of?
The static password consists of the last 5 digits of the card number and the last 4 digits of the IDNP.

💳 What changes for card payments?

Contactless transactions at POS terminals:

  • Payments under 1,000 MDL require PIN if:
    • The cumulative value of contactless transactions without PIN exceeds 3,000 MDL
    • More than 5 consecutive transactions were made without PIN
  • Exception: Payments via Apple Pay and Google Pay do not require PIN
  • Payments over 1,000 MDL — PIN entry is mandatory

Online transactions (e‑commerce):

  • Online payments under 600 MDL require a static password if:
    • The cumulative value of password‑free transactions exceeds 2,000 MDL
    • More than 5 consecutive transactions were made without a password
  • Exception: Online payments via Apple Pay and Google Pay do not require the static password
  • Payments over 600 MDL — the static password is mandatory

Note: Dynamic password authentication (SMS TAN) within 3D Secure remains mandatory for all online payments.

❗ Changes in ProBanking / Mobile Banking

Starting February 1, 2025, login and certain operations in ProBanking require additional authentication.

✅ Useful recommendations
  • Enroll your card in Apple Pay, Google Pay, or other eligible digital wallets
  • Remember your card PIN and static password
  • Make sure you have the latest version of the ProCredit Mobile Banking app installed

ATTENTION: The inactivity session timeout in E‑banking and Mobile Banking is 5 minutes!
