QWAC
Ensure full compliance with European eIDAS and PSD2 regulations
Advantages of a QWAC certificate
QWACs are qualified certificates, recognised across all EU countries. They verify server identity and enhance digital transaction security.
* Following policy decisions by the CAB Forum, the maximum certificate validity period will be reduced starting 15 March 2026. If you have purchased a 1-year QWAC or QWAC SAN certificate, Actalis will continue to guarantee annual coverage at no additional cost by providing a second certificate, available for activation in your customer area six months after activation.

When to use QWACs and QSealCs for PSD2
The QSealC, used in conjunction with QWAC for PSD2, is required to digitally sign data within direct system-to-system communication frameworks, such as those used by payment service providers between financial institutions.
QSealC for PSD2 is needed when inlcuding information such as:
- Organisation authorisation numbers
- Entity IDs granting authorisation
- Authorised PSD2 roles for the same organisation
