Hi Sean,
Thanks for that. (Strangely, just after I sent my original message I got a
message back from ‘FreeLists Mailing List Manager, Command Results no
command found’. Perhaps that was this list waking up from hibernation!)
I was making a payment to RNIB, and, as they’re working from home, the
person was unable to process my credit card request (over the phone, from
their Export services).
There is an international organisation/club I deal with which mentions and
accepts PayPal as a payment method, and that works out well.
So, now it looks like PayPal will also go the way of the SEPA in regard to
SCA. Oh well...

Hi Flor,
I rarely make payments online, but when I do I use Paypal if it’s an option
and I appreciate the convenience. But I must add one thing: yesterday I
received a mail from them asking me to check and confirm the phone number I
gave them when I joined: it looks as if they will shortly be introducing a
text challenge system for each transaction and therefore need the client’s
phone number to send the one-time code number to us. All in the name of SCA
(strong customer identification).
Best,
Sean.

Hi,
Since PayPal does the necessary emailing advising the other party of
remittance or whatever after you’ve paid into the other party’s account, I’m
wondering if it’s ok to use it (or a similar service if available) instead
of going through the rigmarole of paying from my own Bank into that of the
other party - including inputting the 7-digit code, which may not be
required by PayPal? Does anyone know?
