Since 14 September 2019, you can pay even more securely by credit card, as the new Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) came into force on this date. The main innovation introduced by PSD2 is the so-called "strong customer authentication" (also known as "two-factor authentication"), which makes online shopping even safer and is intended to prevent fraud.
What will change for you in concrete terms?
If you order from myfairtrade.com from 14 September 2019 onwards, an extended security check will be carried out for some payment methods, whereby you as a customer must provide two independent proofs of identity for each payment transaction. This ensures that you yourself use your credit card and not a fraudster. The fraudster does not have any other proof of identities such as a PIN or fingerprint.
You can find much more information on PSD2 at the Deutsche Bundesbank. Click here.
