Barcode payments
Paying with our app means you don’t have to handle cash or credit cards when you pay in-person. All you need to do is scan a seller’s QR code when you pay.
Once the barcode is scanned, Open Banking/PSD2 APIs will be used to initiate request-to-pay payments.
Barcode payments are easy
Accepting touch-free payments is easy, and there’s no need for hardware, software, or a card reader. Just follow these steps:
Scan
Have your buyer open the bankIO or camera app, tap 'Scan' and hold their phone up to your QR code.
Pay
Have them confirm or enter the amount due and tap 'Send'. This will open the mobile application of their bank where they will give the consent for the payment initiation.
Confirmation
The app automatically generates a payment confirmation.
Limitless posibilities
Any business could take advantage of barcode payments using Open Banking/PSD2:
- Supermarket chains
- Petrol stations
- Restaurants (customers could use bill splitting)
- Public transport
- Any other business or individual
And it can work with a barcode displayed by your mobile
Scan a barcode displayed by your mobile at the point-of-sale and the Open Banking request-to-pay will be sent yo you instantly for confirming and authorising the transaction. This could be used by retailers at the point-o-sale without any new infrastructure required.
