Making payments more predictable

Running a business is full of unforeseen twists and turns. And when inconsistent customer payments are added into the mix, things can become unnecessarily complex and inefficient.

Recurring payments can make things simpler for both businesses and customers. Whether that’s in financial services, utilities, entertainment or the needs of everyday life, they help everybody know what’s coming around the corner.

Recurring payments help reduce failed payments, streamline operational processes, improve cash flow and enhance customer experiences, helping retain customers for longer.

Brilliantly flexible payments for every industry

Subscriptions

Our subscriptions do things differently for your customers. We’ve made them easy to set-up, highly visible, and easy to cancel. So simple, flexible payment plans are now a joy for everyone

Money management

Whether customers are saving, repaying loans or topping-up accounts, we’ve simplified and speeded up the process. Our seamless API moves funds in real-time and deposits immediately.

One click

With long-living mandates we can simplify payment experiences to a gratifying ‘one-click’, which customers love using. So conversion rates go up and customers keep coming back.

Split payments

You can now cost-effectively offer customers the opportunity to spread their payment into multiple instalments. That’s good for business and a great customer experience too.

A single API that does the hard work for you

Our single orchestrated API streamlines the best recurring payment technology for you and your customers, and scales with you as new innovations arrive.

Whether it’s fixed or variable subscriptions, money management, one-click or split payments, our single API does the work for you. It orchestrates every type of payment journey into one seamless initial-integration.

We’ve combined Direct Debit and Variable Recurring Payment (VRP) technologies to eliminate the dependency on cards and all the problems associated with them. This means a reduction in failed payment rates and boosted conversion rates.

No missed-payments

Card payments fail 18% of the time due to lost or expired cards. Our API connects straight to your customer's bank account, guaranteeing less frustration for your customers and no missed payments for you.

Exceptional conversion

Traditional recurring payments are painful for customers to set up. Our API saves customers time by removing manual data entries, and verifying ID in one simple first-payment experience, transforming conversion rates.

Flexible payments

Our Recurring Payments API gives customers the checkout choice they want. From fixed plans to variable payments, we give you and your customers freedom to organise the best plan for you.

Lower costs

We eliminate dependencies on cards, bringing you efficient alternatives to card-on-file set-ups. Our subscriptions and split payments cost less per transaction, and reduce fraud, churn, chargebacks and payment failure.

A major upgrade for customers too

Easy to set up

With smart engineering and beautifully designed user experiences, we give your customers a refreshingly simple set-up experience. We cut out the manual-input time associated with traditional recurring payments.

Easy to manage

Customers are wary of 'subscription traps,' where details are hard to see or cancel. Our payment plan details are highly visible and manageable in customer bank apps, helping them take control of budgeting decisions.

Increased security

Our innovative Recurring Payments do not depend on cards. So the associated fraud risks are much lower. And through open-banking, biometric security is seamlessly integrated into a simple sign-up process.

Built in protection

Both Variable Recurring Payments and Direct Debit technology offer built-in merchant and customer protections. This means customers feel reassured that funds will not be taken in error, helping build confidence.
