Core solution

The company`s core solutions

Pay by Bank, which we standardise in our core markets of the UK, Europe, and Brazil. We offer value-add products such as Connect (cash management), Circuit Breaker (fraud prevention), and Verify (AIS: bank account verification).

What problem does the company solve?

Fundamentally, we utilise A2A technology to help merchants lower the cost of payment acceptance and benefit from instant settlements. More specifically, we unite real-time payment schemes such as Faster Payments in the UK and SEPA in Europe to a single standard and point of access, in effect creating the world's first real-time payment network.
