Overview

According to the Berlin Group Implementation guidelines, there can be different methods for the PSU to carry out its strong authentication. Commerzbank is supporting the following one(s):

Redirect OAuth2 SCA Approach

The PSU is redirected from the TPP interface to a web browser in order to perform her/his SCA.

Decoupled SCA Approach

The PSU is redirected according to her/his usual/preferred authentication mechanisms. In this approach, the PSU will receive a message from Commerzbank through the TPP interface inviting her/him to finalize her/his authentication through her/his mobile banking application or any other authentication mechanism offered by Commerzbank. Additionally, Commerzbank might use other notification channels to inform the PSU (PUSH notifications on her/his mobile device, email, SMS, phone call…).
