Identity is covered by OpenID Connect.

Correct, this is how you would do this in FAPI. If the bank wants to allow a TPP long lived or permanent access then they would issue long lived refresh tokens and not enforce any later SCA at the bank side.

The solution would still need to be compliant with the law so within the EU someone somewhere would have to be doing SCA to the level required by law, but the law absolutely allows SCA to be done by someone other than the bank.

I don’t see why we need new ideas when what we already have in FAPI, and the extensions around embedded being proposed in this thread, already work for the EMV use case.

Thanks
