What Is Open Banking?

Open banking is the process of banks and other financial institutions opening up data for anyone who consents to allow the access, use, and sharing of their details. The goal is to improve financial services and increase transparency for customers and was introduced as part of the Payment Services Direct (PSD2). As a result, new applications and payment methods are being developed for businesses and customers alike.

At the end of 2021, cumulatively over 26.6m open banking payments had been made. An increase of more than 500% in 12 months – Source

How Do Open Banking Payments Work?

open banking payments work flow

1. When making a payment online, Customers can select the Pay with Bank option available on the screen. This can be alongside other payment methods such as Card, PayPal, Cryptocurrency, etc.

The amount to pay can be opened or set to the total amount due to be paid.

A unique QR code is displayed, allowing the customer to scan in and continue on their mobile phone (no app required). Alternatively, the customer can continue on their desktop screen.

2. A list of all major UK and European banks will appear. The customer selects the bank which they would like to make the payment from.

The Customer is taken to their own Bank’s Online Banking or App, which will ask to verify their login details and identity.

3. They can then select which account to pay from. No sort code, account number, card number or expiry details are required.

Once the payment amount is confirmed, funds are paid instantly to your business. An email receipt is issued, and the Customer is taken back to the online checkout screen, advising them that the payment has been successful.
