Open Banking Payments
Open banking payments solutions
Open banking, also known as pay-by-bank, is revolutionising the way customers and consumers make payments. It allows individuals to pay directly by bank transfer from their bank to another business or organisation’s account.
The rising popularity of open banking payments
Open banking is gaining traction, with more than 1 in 9 UK consumers and 17% of small businesses utilising open banking services in 2023. This innovative approach to payments serves as an alternative to traditional methods such as cards, Direct Debits, and standing orders.
How open banking payments work
Open banking payments offer a fast and secure way to make transactions without the requirement to input card details. Customers can conveniently select their bank from a list and authorise their purchase, streamlining the payment process. This method not only enhances speed and security but also provides a seamless and efficient way to conduct financial transactions.
Advantages of open banking payments
The use of open banking payments facilitates quicker fund transfers, reduces the risk of errors and fraud, and simplifies the payment process for both consumers and businesses. Additionally, this method empowers users to manage their finances more effectively and gain greater control over their transactions.

Cut costs and improve your cashflow
Our open banking payments transfer funds direct from the customer’s bank to your bank account, which means there’s no card networks or expensive card processing fees. There’s no charges on failed or declined transactions, no chargebacks, just real time payments.
Reduce fraud with safe, secure open banking payments
Unlike using cards, open banking payments offer a more secure way to pay. With open banking, customers verify each payment directly with their bank, which helps reduce fraud and unauthorised transactions. Plus, because open banking doesn't involve sharing banking data or processing card details, there's no need to worry about PCI DSS compliance costs.
Payment choice and flexibility
Whether your customers are making payments online by themselves or through a contact center, you can provide a pay by bank option. By offering multiple payment methods for online bills, invoices, or reminders in real time, you can increase successful transactions and decrease the number of abandoned carts.
Our partnership with Access enabled us to integrate open banking solutions that streamline transactions, ensuring payments are reflected in real-time on our customers' accounts. This shift not only enhances convenience, but also improves security, allowing our customers to complete their payment journeys effortlessly, whether through our contact centre or via bespoke payment links. The result is a straightforward, secure payment experience that aligns with modern expectations, making payments as simple as a click or a tap.
