与动态条码相比，通过扫描静态打印条码进行支付的行为风险性更高，在央行风险评估系统列为D级。

The central bank also set different transaction limits for payments made by scanning dynamic codes, based on their risk prevention abilities.

此外，央行还根据自身的风险防范能力，设定了扫描动态条码的不同交易限额。

Experts say that dynamic codes could be safer, because they display on payers' smartphone screens and could be updated by the minute.

专家表示，动态条码可能更安全，因为它们可以显示在付费用户的智能手机屏幕上，而且可以在一分钟内更新。
