As a regulated e-money issuer, Barion must implement strong customer authentication (SCA) to secure your transactions and prevent electronic payment fraud. This means that all our clients need to set SCA up.

World-wide best practices recommend that biometric or PIN-based authentication is more secure than codes delivered via text message, which is why Barion is using it.

Setting up a screen lock secures not only your Barion Wallet, but every other information stored on your mobile device.
