SCA-RTS 90-day reauth Implementation

Which date are you planning on implementing the SCA reauthentication exemption?

1 October 2022


What is your approach to token management to enable application of the reauthentication exemption? (see link to FCA guidance)

Issue a long-lived refresh token during one final SCA. (BOI UK only).


From the date of the change, all refresh tokens issued at initial consent and access refresh will be long-lived, and not require re-authentication 90 days later. In practice, this means that after 1 October, the first time any PSU needs to refresh access (and had last performed SCA prior to the date) will need to re-authenticate one more time. Any PSU providing initial consent (and SCA) after 8 October will never be asked to re-authenticate with BOI.

NB. For Bank of Ireland ROI: BOI will implement the change under the Commission Delegated Regulation amending RTS with regards to the 90-day exemption for account access to 180 days tonight and the change will be effective from tomorrow morning 26th July.
