Payments

Open banking makes it easy to "pay by bank". It's an order of magnitude cheaper than cards, faster to settle, simple to reconcile, and convenient for users.

Payments Guide

Pay by bank instead of paying by card

A user connects grants consent for you to initiate single or multiple payments from their bank account.

Attributes

You'll get confirmation that the payment has been initiated, and an ETA of when the funds will arrive. You can input unique references to ensure automated reconciliation. You can check the available balance to ensure that the user won't incur dishonour or overdraft fees. Reduce fraud by verifying the holder of the account, and relying on strong customer authentication when the user grants consent.
