Payment links
Use Open Banking/PSD2 to generate payment links which can be shared to friends, customers, or anyone who needs to pay you.
Request-to-pay links are URLs that can be attached to emails, invoices, shared as messages (e.g. WhatsApp) or barcodes printed anywhere.
Payment links are easy
Sharing payment links is easy. Just follow these steps:
Create
Using our APIs or Dashboard create a request-to-pay by providing the amount needed and digital receipt details, e.g. items, product description, metadata
Share
Share the request-to-pay link attached to emails, invoices, messages (e.g. WhatsApp) or barcodes printed anywhere.
Pay
Once the payer will receive the payment link, they will choose their preffered bank, where they will give the consent for the payment initiation.
Limitless posibilities

- Supermarket chains
- Petrol stations
