What is Open Banking

Open banking is an online payment architecture developed in compliance with PSD2 requirements. It allows banks to open their application programming interfaces (API) for authorised Payment Initiation Service Providers (PISP) to develop new apps and services. Payment initiation allows businesses to collect payments from the customers’ bank accounts via direct bank-to-bank push payments.

On the customer side, it will add an option of open banking at checkout. When selected, it will simply prompt user authentication and consent to let their bank allow access to the payment initiation service.

Why Consider Open Banking for Your Business

Setting up open banking for your business has a number of advantages over traditional payment systems, including:
 

  • Faster payment flow
  • Reduced risk of fraud
  • No chargeback process
  • Unified checkout flow
  • Higher conversion rates
  • Increased customer retention & fewer dropouts
Who is it for

The service will prove useful for a wide variety of businesses across multiple industries and different risk levels. It will be of most relevance to the following types of institutions:

  • Merchants using a DECTA hosted payment page
  • Merchants with custom Direct API integrations
  • Financial institutions using DECTA White Label Payment Gateway wish to offer the service to online merchants and PSPs

 

Onboarding is straightforward. After the initial setup, the integration will be available via the same API as DECTA Payment Gateway.
