SCA

​
Causes

This error occurs when a transfer is attempted and SCA is required, but the SCA session fails because the user has unsuccessfully attempted to authenticate a factor too many times. SCA is required on Transfers between two users with the UserCategory of OWNER. On existing integrations, this is indicated by setting ScaContext to USER_PRESENT in the request. Read more about SCA on transfers. If the SCA session fails, the Transfer’s Status changes from CREATED to FAILED.

​
What to do

In this scenario, you can retry the Transfer to generate a new SCA session that the user can authenticate. If the user needs to reset one of their factors, they have this option during the session. Read more about SCA factors. Ensure your integration relies on transfer webhooks to know the outcome of SCA.
