LONDON – 14 DECEMBER, 2022 – Paysend, the UK-based fintech with 6 million customers, today announces the launch of a new Open Banking Payment Initiation partnership with Plaid, an open banking network that powers digital finance. Through the partnership, Paysend will provide an additional secure solution for its Business customers to receive payments, helping to improve their checkout conversion rates, reduce transaction processing fees and enhance their anti-fraud capabilities.
The Open Banking Payment Initiation partnership will enable merchants to connect with their customers’ banks via Plaid and initiate a payment through open banking rails instead of traditional payment methods like cards or direct debits. The end customer confirms a payment, pushes funds from their account and Paysend then makes them available to the merchant the next day. This process is significantly cheaper for merchants than standard card payments, helping them run and grow their businesses for less whilst providing a simple and secure payment method to their customers.
Сustomers will not need to enter their card numbers to make a payment and merchants will not need to hold consumer payment details, streamlining the payment flow process and making payments quicker and more convenient. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will benefit from a transaction fee up to 45% lower than average card payments, with improved conversion rates and high-level security, resulting in fewer chargebacks. The solution will initially be available for payments made from UK bank accounts, with plans to roll out across Europe in 2023.
Earlier this year, Paysend launched Paysend Business to help accelerate the financial growth of SMEs by delivering an ecosystem of end-to-end digital payments solutions and other tools to help boost growth and help SMEs to diversify. By creating more opportunities for SMEs to connect around the globe, the partnership with Plaid can help businesses improve the security and speed of their payments to focus on growth.
