How clients drive growth with open banking payments
Speed and efficiency
Receive money within minutes not days of the transaction being initiated.
Improved conversion rates
Allow customers to authenticate and pay in a few clicks without leaving your service, seamlessly integrated from onboarding to checkout.
Reduced fraud risks
Because customers approve payments within their bank apps, the details of their cards are never shared.
Customer retention
Our payments solution empowers clients to maintain the relationship with their customers and drive higher in-app engagement.
1. Create a payment or standing order
Post the payment details to the API and it will return an initiation link.
2. User authorises payment
The user clicks on the payment link, selects a bank and is redirected to their Bank app where they select a bank account, see the balance and authorise the payment.
3. User initiates the payment
The user is redirected back from the bank and the payment is initiated. Users will be prompted to approve any fees incurred before this happens.
4. Payment confirmation
The platform tracks the payment's progress and posts updates as it completes.
