We’re adding an extra layer of security known as Strong Customer Authentication (SCA). These changes will help fight fraud and make your online transactions more secure.
When using your card to purchase online in the future, we may ask you to authenticate a card transaction. We will write to you as these changes happen.
To help protect your card against unauthorised use, we need to make sure we have the right mobile phone number for you. Your mobile phone number is needed for the SCA solution when it is available.
If you have an AIB Business Debit Card you can update your mobile number by:

If you have an AIB Corporate, Business or Purchasing Card you can update your mobile number by:

You cannot opt out of this service. Under Payment Services Directive (PSD2) regulations we have to provide Strong Customer Authentication for certain online transactions.
Your mobile number is unique and so it is the easiest way to get ready for SCA.
PSD2 changed how we bank online and introduced (SCA) to make transactions more secure.
Yes. To ensure you can continue to use your card(s) for transactions in the EU or access your accounts online, you will need to be set up for SCA.
The second Payment Services Directive (PSD2) deals with electronic payments and payment services. It affects the whole banking industry through the introduction of Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) and new third party payment service providers known as TPPS. SCA is intended to make payments more secure and TPPs will be able to offer you a range of new payment services.
You can learn more about PSD2 from the Banking & Payments Federation Ireland here.
