Features

While reducing fraud and increasing conversion rates for merchants, open banking payments offer consumers all the choice, convenience and transparency they deserve. Here’s how.

A simple but powerful setup

With us as your open banking partner, everything is possible with one API, which means there’s no need to worry about separate APIs for separate payment rails.

Just one simple API integration to connect to thousands of banks and multiple payment rails.

Automated processes for convenience and efficiency

Payment information is pre-populated so the user doesn’t have to type in long numbers. This is not only easier and faster for the user, but it also reduces human error for operational efficiencies.

Branded, customised user journey

The payment flow can be customised so the customer experience looks and feels like your brand, and our solution is easily integrated into your existing platform.

Refund and reconciliation support

Our Open Banking platform provides you with the foundation to build your own powerful refund tools, thanks to our enriched data.

We provide transparency of payment activity, and you can tie references of your choice to every payment, which are automatically carried through the payment process — simplifying the reconciliation process.

How it works

A streamlined checkout experience directly embedded into your flow
