FAQs

Q: Can a Director issue a new card if the cardholder does not have security questions answered?

A: No, after adding a new team member, the new user must have previously set up credentials and SCA Questions to issue a new card for them.

Q: When must a cardholder set up the security questions?

A: All new users will need to set up credentials and answer the required SCA Questions during the onboarding form that is sent by a Director.

Q: Can a Director issue a new card for themselves?

A: Yes, they can issue a new card for themselves and for other team members.

Q: Can a cardholder modify card limits for themselves?

A: No, only a Director can modify card limits for employees or cardholders.

Q: Who can cancel a card?

A: Directors and cardholders have the ability to cancel a card.

Q: Can a customer in TEST env test the SCA Questions for card payments?

A: No, as security questions are asked during card payments, Modulr will send them randomly and based on the fraud algorithm. SCA Questions are to be answered after inserting the OTP to confirm the payment. As this is handled by Modulr, we do not have the capability to test this functionality in sandbox with mocked cards.

HMAC SecretThis is the cryptographic code that uses a hash function and a secret key that Modulr also provided to authenticate Toqio as the platform to be used by the customer.
Product codeIt is the code provided by Modulr to be introduced in the Admin portal which allows a card to function. Product code has to be different by card type (physical or virtual) and by currency (GBP or EUR).

SCA QuestionsStrong Customer Authentication (SCA) for cardholders must be done for cards that are supporting 3D Secure, as the GPS issuer processor for Modulr does. This is required to comply with the Second Payment Services Directive (PSD2) on strong customer authentication. Cardholder Authentication (3D Secure).
SCA requires a combination of two forms of customer identification at checkout (something the user knows, something the user has, and something the user is). In Modulr's case, it is based on personal questions to be answered by the user and stored by Modulr and may be asked randomly during a card purchase, after introducing OTP on their mobile devices.
Card TokenIt is a string of randomly generated numbers to identify a card. It is used by Toqio to retrieve secure card details (PAN+CVV) from Modulr. This token is to be retrieved by Toqio and pushed to the cardholder's device where the call is made. The token will be valid for 60 seconds.
