How it works

Customers click on Trustly and select their bank. Trustly seamlessly allows them to authenticate the payment, typically using biometrics in their bank’s app. On desktop, users have a choice to scan a QR code on the screen to complete the payment on mobile, or use the bank’s desktop authentication.

What problem does the company solve

Trustly is revolutionising debit payments with account-to-account services and Open Banking innovation. Trustly actively increases payment conversion and eliminates fraud/chargebacks while speeding up settlements. Proprietary instant pay-outs/refunds delight customers and reduce merchant support costs. Trustly’s lower fees, no fraud, single API & PSP connectivity, and unique cross-border liquidity management are all designed to reduce payment acceptance costs.

Do you have redundancy and coverage provided by multiple integrations (APIs & Direct Access)?

YES

How will you handle automated refunds?

Trustly not only automates refunds but delights customers with instant refunds. Merchants can process refunds (in-market and cross-border) via API – with Trustly managing liquidity and delivering local instant settlements. Trustly instant refunds are preferred by 95% of customers and merchants support costs would be reduced by up to 20%.

How will you mitigate the risk of bank transactions failing?

Using both intra-bank networks and instant schemes, Trustly creates highly reliable instant payments. Trustly's risk system warns merchants of potential risk and prevents losses. We use live data to predict payment failures and notify merchants when they can expect settlement. We also use intra-bank payments to minimise risk wherever feasible.

How will you reconcile payments efficiently?

Trustly uniquely collects and reconciles in-market and cross-border account-to-account payments, providing merchants detailed reconciliation and daily batch settlements to their bank accounts. Trustly is also fully integrated into more than 60 reconciliation and settlement processes for Payment Service Providers – requiring no additional development from merchants to offer our services.
