Connect for payments

Eliminate the complexity and pain of statements and payments

Statements and payments are basic tools of the financial trade. Why is it then that knowing what your cash and asset positions are is so hard?

More financial institutions are modernising their systems to offer banking-as-a-service solutions, currency exchange, sanction checks, PSD2 compliant payment platforms, and others. Although APIs exist, the ability to convert, validate, enrich and authorise information and functionalities between them is highly complex.

Whether you are a multinational corporation grappling with multiple banking relationships and systems, or a bank wanting to accept and work with your clients’ cash and payments data, we remove the needless complexity and frustration from statements and payments, allowing you to focus on value-adding tasks that go beyond the basics.

Go beyond the basics of payments, statements, and cash management

Connect for payments is a complete managed service for message transformation, multi-banking, cash, and payments. Effortlessly simplifying the multitude of connectivity and message formats you have to navigate, it takes the pressure off your IT teams, reduces cost and resource deployment, and enables powerful automation in cash management and payments.

Providing all the necessary integration to interact with external systems, we monitor message flow and disparate functions for blocked instructions, and standardise and deliver alerts to appropriate recipients.

With years of experience implementing interfaces for banks of all sizes across the globe, we bring specialist, domain specific knowledge of the most granular details, advising on additional local requirements and specialist needs.

This also means that we work in weeks, not months, and collaborate with you to give you the connectivity you need, when and where you need it.

PSD2: Regulatory Revolution for Payments, or Impending Tech Mess?

Early in 2019, the next big marker in the life of the second Payment Services Directive (PSD2) arrived, as participants in the European regulation’s new API-based ecosystem submitted solutions for testing by both payment initiation service providers (PISPs) and account information service providers (AISPs). That will seem like a lot of acronyms for one sentence. But the real influence of PSD2 is far more philosophical in nature. Indeed, it may represent the biggest regulatory gambit that many tech junkies - outside of the payments space, anyway - have never heard of.
