What is Pay by Bank?

Pay by Bank is a real-time payment scheme in Global that lets customers pay instantly from their bank app — no card needed.

Pay by Bank is a bank-authenticated payment method built for Global. Instead of typing card numbers, the customer is redirected to their own banking app, confirms the payment with biometrics or a PIN, and the funds settle within seconds. Real-time, open-banking-powered payments. Reduce payment costs.

With PayRequest, you can create a Pay by Bank payment link in under a minute and send it via WhatsApp, email, SMS, or a printed QR code. The same link automatically shows Pay by Bank to local customers and falls back to card, Apple Pay or other wallets for everyone else — one URL covers every market.

Because Pay by Bank is bank-confirmed, chargebacks effectively don't exist and conversion is dramatically higher than card in its home market. PayRequest itself charges 0% — you only pay your provider's standard Pay by Bank fees.
