# Start untrusting a beneficiary

> Begin untrusting (removing the trusted mark from) an external account, so
future sends to it are dynamically linked and require the per-transaction SCA
ceremony again. Returns the `scaChallenge` to satisfy (when one is issued).
Complete with
`POST /customers/external-accounts/{externalAccountId}/untrust/confirm`.

This endpoint is only meaningful for customers in a region where SCA is required (e.g. EU). For customers outside SCA-regulated regions, this returns `409`.

        A Strong Customer Authentication challenge that must be satisfied before
        a money-movement operation can complete. This object is **only present
        when the customer is in a region where SCA is required** (the EU); for
        customers outside SCA-regulated regions it is omitted entirely and no
        action is needed.


        When present on a quote, authorize it by submitting an
        `ScaAuthorization` proof to `POST /quotes/{quoteId}/authorize`.


        **A single operation may require more than one authorization, in
        sequence.** Treat `scaChallenge` as *the challenge to satisfy now*, not
        "the only one". After each authorize, re-inspect the returned
        quote/transaction: if it is still `PENDING_AUTHORIZATION`, it carries
        the **next** `scaChallenge` (a new `id`) — authorize that too, and
        repeat until it leaves `PENDING_AUTHORIZATION`. Do not assume one
        authorization releases the transfer. The number of authorizations is
        flow-dependent and **may decrease in future**: for example, a
        cross-currency send today authorizes the currency conversion and the
        payout as two separate challenges; a future update may collapse them
        into one. A client written to loop on status handles any count
        unchanged.

            Optional, informational label for what this particular challenge in
            the sequence authorizes — useful for step UX (e.g. "Authorize the
            currency conversion" vs "Authorize the payout"). Known values
            include `CURRENCY_CONVERSION`, `PAYOUT`, and `TRANSFER`, but the set
            is **non-exhaustive and may grow** — treat unrecognized values as a
            generic authorization step and do not branch program logic on it.
            Omitted when steps are not distinguished (e.g. a
            single-authorization flow).

            `ScaAuthorization.origin`. Per-transaction passkey challenges omit
            this (they carry `passkeyAssertionOptions` only) — see

        | Factor | Description |

        |--------|-------------|

        | `SMS_OTP` | One-time code sent by SMS to the customer's verified
        phone. Requires no prior enrollment. |

        | `TOTP` | Time-based one-time code from an authenticator app. Requires
        enrollment. Not valid for per-transaction challenges (cannot carry
        dynamic linking). |

        | `PASSKEY` | WebAuthn passkey assertion. Requires enrollment. |
