Pay by bank

Add a lower-cost payment method to your platform via open banking.

Make payments faster and more secure by letting end-users initiate them straight from their bank accounts — without leaving your checkout. Strong customer authentication sits with the bank, which cuts many card-not-present fraud patterns while you avoid heavy interchange stacks on eligible flows.

Coverage

Pay with banks across Europe & the UK.

StixBNK connects your product to a broad set of ASPSPs through regulated interfaces so customers can pay from the account they already use every day. We keep testing and expanding bank and EMI channels so you can offer a seamless “Pay by bank” option next to cards and wallets — one integration for initiation, status webhooks, refunds where supported, and reconciliation data.

How it works

Building a great payment experience.

Users pick Pay by bank, choose their institution, and complete SCA in the bank’s familiar app or web flow. That seamless path helps them finish checkout and come back again. You receive authorised amount, references, and events in real time — ideal for e-commerce, subscriptions, pay-by-link invoices, and instant refunds where the rail allows.
