PaidBy® enables customers to make instant payments directly from their bank accounts, eliminating the delays associated with traditional card processing. Funds are transferred in real time or near real time, allowing businesses to improve cash flow and access their funds more quickly.
One of the key advantages of PaidBy is its cardless payment process. Customers are no longer required to enter long card numbers, CVVs, or expiry dates. Instead, they simply authenticate the payment through a secure familiar environment, their existing banking app. This streamlined checkout experience reduces friction and can significantly improve conversion rates.
Traditional card payments often involve interchange fees and processing costs. By enabling direct bank payments, PaidBy® reduces reliance on card networks, resulting in lower transaction fees and more cost-effective payment processing. This makes PaidBy particularly attractive for businesses processing high volumes of transactions.
With instant or same-day settlement, businesses gain faster access to funds compared to traditional payment methods. Immediate payment confirmation ensures that businesses know when funds have been received, improving liquidity and financial planning.
