What an absolute cunt rule the EU foisted on us with this one!
You might have come across it. The EU, in their infinite all knowing god-like wisdom decreed from the ivory tower that is Brussels that the plebeians all across their jurisdiction needed more protection from financial fraud. Their gift to us all: PSD2, a rule that the security number on the back of a credit card won’t suffice and that a secondary security method must be added.
However, a bit like their equally cuntish “cookies policy”, there is no specific implementation detail. Some financial firms are better than others in the implementation. Unfortunately, there seems to be little option for me but to continue dealing with some of those that have made a pigs ear out of it. Like a site where it could take you ten minutes to “get rid of the cookie bollocks”, as opposed to others where a simple mouse click makes it go away, some financial firms have made PSD2 excruciatingly painful.
So what does a “good firm do”? They ask how you would like the secondary PIN – via email, landline or mobile. Most of the firms I am stuck with though insist on mobile only and, when I’m at home “Internet Shopping” I have no frigging mobile signal. “We are texting you a PIN and valid for 5 minutes”: shoes on, run up the lane waving mobile above my head like a lunatic hoping to catch a bit of a signal, text drops in, run home, shoes off and rush to key the code in, out of breath but 30 seconds to spare – swear about the bl**dy, f**king, w@**ing, cunts that are the EU ….and relax!
PSD2 is a cunt but like the cookie law, and countless other EU sh1te that I voted to get binned, BRINO ain’t going to get rid of it any time soon!
