In a groundbreaking move, Ecommpay, a globally recognized payments service provider and direct bank acquirer, has unveiled Open Banking Select, the latest addition to its comprehensive Open Banking payment suite. With this innovative offering, Ecommpay becomes the first and only payment provider to seamlessly integrate card payments and Open Banking transactions via a unified proprietary platform, ushering in a new era of payment flexibility and control.
Open Banking Select offers merchants a host of benefits, including enhanced payment routing options, streamlined user experiences, and all the advanced features of Open Banking. This integration includes partnerships with leading Open Banking providers such as Token, Neopay, and Nuapay. Moreover, businesses with existing Open Banking partnerships can effortlessly integrate their trusted partners into their payment ecosystem, provided they meet Ecommpay’s rigorous criteria.
The capabilities of Open Banking Select are extensive and cater to the evolving needs of e-commerce vendors. Key features include access to the fastest bank rails in the EEA and UK, along with the convenience of a dedicated local IBAN, simplifying payment receipt. Notably, the platform streamlines payout and refund processes through a user-friendly client dashboard, reducing refund processing time by an impressive 60%.
Moreover, merchants can now enjoy automated notifications for funds reaching their accounts, eliminating the need for manual checks and payment verifications. Comprehensive reconciliation reports, offered daily or weekly, provide invaluable insights to businesses, helping them better manage their finances and operations.
