Why do you need to approve new payees using the mobile app?
Under The Regulatory Technical Standards on Strong Customer Authentication and Common and Secure Open Standards of Communication, Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) must be used when accessing payment accounts online. As such we require account activity such as logging in or adding a new payee to be approved using the Fire for Business mobile application.
