E-commerce
Build seamless checkout experiences with open banking
Turn more online shoppers into paying customers with a frictionless and fast payment flow that keeps things simple. With a convenient and cost-effective solution embedded directly in the online checkout experience, open banking payments and e-commerce are a match made in heaven.
And whether you have an open banking licence or not, we have an e-commerce solution just for you.
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.
Multi-rail network for seamless data and payment flow
Get access to multiple payment rails, such as domestic schemes, SEPA and SEPA instant. We reduce the settlement time by a day or two, as we support access to a wide range of payment rails, which enables faster and frictionless settlements.
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.
