Overview
Open banking enables payments to enter your business account directly from your customer’s account in real-time. The entire transaction is processed through online banking.
Open Banking banking allows for transactions to occur B2C (Business to Consumer) without needing a card processor to complete the payment. It differs from conventional card payment systems (Visa, Mastercard, and Amex).
