Account‑to‑Account

Our solutions based on SEPA Credit Transfer facilitate the creation of a national and European ecosystem for money transfer.

They are available to all banks operating in the Single Euro Payments Area and allow users to send and receive money to and from smartphones via a dedicated app.

The debit and credit take place in real time and directly to the current account, the payment account or the card with IBAN.


 

Digital Payment Hub 

It is a multi-user, multilingual and multiplatform solution to facilitate access to the clearing & settlement of all payments: Instant, SCT, SDD, SEDA.

The platform also manages the “Request to Pay” service, in which the beneficiary can send, through different digital channels, a request for money in real time to a payer, who can subsequently approve and execute the operation.

It is an end-to-end solution that manages the entire payment lifecycle, from the connection to the business process, to the routing to the clearing & settlement schemes, interfacing directly with the SIA-COLT and Swiftnet networks.

The solution is provided as a service for a rapid “go to market”, to allow banks a significant reduction in risks and investments. It is open to all channels used by PSPs, guarantees continuous 24x7 service availability and can be integrated with numerous value-added services and is also available in the cloud.

The service ensures that the customer receives verified data before initiating a payment, provides the payee with the possibility of adding relevant customer data, and allows PSPs to identify and manage risks along the value chain.

The Digital Payment Hub provides the following value-added services for the Instant Payments world: Anti-Fraud, Sanctions Screening, Mirror Account, Extended Tracking and Reconciliation. The offer is completed with additional modules such as Document Management, Analytics & Business Intelligence, B2B Community and Smart Back Office.
