Bank-to-Bank payments
Bank-to-Bank payments are a new payment method introduced by the UK's biggest banks in the last 4 years (you'll sometimes hear them referred to as "Open Banking PISP Payments")
Bank-to-Bank allows a merchant (you) to instruct the customer's bank to start a payment into your bank account; once the customer has securely authorised the payment using their bank's digital banking application, their bank handles the transaction immediately.
What the customer sees
From a customer perspective, the magic behind the scenes is invisible.
They see an optimised and easy-to-use payment flow that offers the choice of credit card or Bank-to-Bank payment, lets them select their bank, and guides them through agreeing to the payment.

The benefits
The benefits of Bank-to-Bank payments are very clear.
- Immediate settlement - your moey arrives in minutes, not after several days as it does with credit card payments
- No chargebacks: the banks and your customers assume responsibility for transactions, meaning the credit card provider can't take your money away from you later
- More secure - no credit card details to exchange or worry about
- Simpler fee structures - there's no interchange, no scheme fee, no confusing terminology - and fewer middlemen
- Lower rates than credit card payments
- Low fraud. The banks secure and verify transactions, and as a result fraud risks are very low.
