[2026-02-23] ASK Release Notes: Faster mobile signature with new QR code option

New Feature: QR Code Signature for Payment Partner Notifications

We have introduced a new option that allows end users to sign the switching authorization on their smartphone via QR code.

Previously, users could already provide their signature on their mobile devices. However, the signature link was delivered via SMS. With this update, users can now simply scan a QR code displayed on the desktop screen instead, which opens the signing interface directly on their phone.

This enhancement is designed to make the signing process faster, more accessible, and more reliable.

• This replaces the previous functionality, where the signature link was sent via SMS to the user’s phone

• The signed authorization continues to be included in the notifications sent to payment partners

Benefits
