Does authentication also move or settle a payment?

Last reviewed 5 Sept 2026 · Review due 5 Mar 2027

Short answer

No. Authentication and authorization of a payment instruction are distinct from clearing and settlement. Keyra-related payment authentication—including any KPAN flows—addresses confidence in who approved a transaction request. Movement of funds remains with issuers, schemes and payment processors under their rails.
