How does Payit work?

Payit utilises secure Open Banking APIs to facilitate payments without the exchange of account details. This is achieved through a payment initiation call to the customer’s bank via Open Banking APIs. The customer authorises a payment using their bank’s online or mobile banking journey and funds are sent as a Faster Payment.

The API technical integration is relatively straightforward, and we have a readily accessible sandbox which you can use to safely develop and test in. Please see our developer zone for technical specs.

If you are using e-Commerce site such as WooCommerce then you can request our plug-in.

How much does it cost?

Our charging structure is based on a fixed rate per transaction, with discounts applied for large volumes. Please complete the form with your business details and we’ll happily contact you with details of pricing.
