Mastercard claims that the solution will offer consumers a quick, secure, and seamless payment solution without having to remember passwords or input data.
The firms expect the partnership to move open banking account-to-account (A2A) payments into the mainstream.
PayFrom Bank leverages Mastercard’s Payment Gateway capabilities and its Open Banking Connect platform to deliver a merchant A2A payment solution, which covers around 95% of UK bank accounts through Open Banking APIs.
Mastercard divisional president of the UK and Ireland Kelly Devine said: “Our Open Banking Merchant Payment Solution offers merchants and consumers an alternative to card-based payments and even greater choice over how they checkout. Merchants can now provide their customers with a wider range of payment methods without needing to store payer account details.
