Общ преглед
Open banking payments, built upon the frameworks established by PSD2 and the subsequent development toward PSD3, facilitate account-to-account (A2A) transfers by utilising Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
This mechanism allows a Payment Initiation Service Provider (PISP) to communicate directly with the bank of the payer, eliminating the requirement for card network involvement. Because these transactions bypass the traditional rails governed by schemes, they generally do not incur interchange or scheme fees.
The technical process involves a secure authorisation through the banking app of the customer, often employing biometrics for Strong Customer Authentication (SCA).
This method sits alongside traditional merchant accounts and gateways as a push-payment alternative, where the risk of certain fraud types like lost-of-stolen card abuse is significantly minimised.
For merchants, this structure provides a route to move funds directly into a settlement account without the delays typically associated with credit card clearing cycles.
Как работи
Payment Initiation Request
The merchant gateway sends a request to a PISP at the point of checkout. This request contains the transaction amount, currency, and the specific merchant credentials required for the transfer.
The customer is then prompted to select their bank from a list of integrated financial institutions.
Customer Bank Authorisation
The user is securely redirected to their mobile banking application or online banking portal. This environment is controlled entirely by the issuing bank, ensuring that the merchant never handles sensitive login credentials.
The customer logs in using their standard banking security protocols, such as fingerprint or face recognition.
Payment Consent Approval
Once logged in, the customer reviews the payment details including the recipient name and total amount. By providing consent within their bank interface, they authorise the bank to execute a Credit Transfer.
This step satisfies SCA requirements under current regulatory mandates in the UK and European Economic Area.
Real Time Status Notification
The bank confirms the successful initiation of the transfer to the PISP, which then notifies the merchant gateway. While the actual movement of funds depends on the underlying clearing system, such as Faster Payments or SEPA Instant, the merchant receives a digital confirmation almost immediately.
Automated Reconciliation
The final stage involves the matching of the received funds with the original order ID.
Because open banking payments include specific metadata in the transfer reference, the manual effort usually associated with standard bank transfers is reduced, allowing for automated order fulfilment and updated ledger entries.
Защо е важно
Reduction in Processing Overheads
By utilising A2A rails, businesses can avoid the multilayered cost structure of card payments, which includes interchange, scheme fees, and acquirer margins.
For high-ticket items, where percentage-based card fees become significant, the flat-fee or lower-percentage model of open banking provides a measurable reduction in the total cost of acceptance. This benefit is particularly acute for merchants operating on thin margins who require more efficient capital management.
Elimination of Chargeback Risk
Traditional card payments carry a persistent risk of chargebacks, which can be initiated months after a transaction. Open banking transfers are push-payments, meaning they are authorised through the banking security of the payer.
Since there is no equivalent to the card-scheme chargeback mechanism for these transfers, merchants are better protected against friendly fraud and certain types of payment disputes that lead to revenue loss.
Higher Authorisation Rates
Card payments may fail due to expired plastic, stolen cards, or aggressive fraud filters from issuers. Open banking bypasses these hurdles by verifying the availability of funds in real time before the payment is authorised by the customer.
This direct interaction with the bank account often leads to higher successful completion rates compared to card-not-present transactions where details may be entered incorrectly.
Приложения
High-Value E-commerce
Retailers selling luxury goods or electronics can avoid the high percentage fees associated with card payments while bypassing traditional transaction limits that often lead to card declines for expensive orders.
Subscription and Bill Pay
Service providers can utilise open banking for recurring payments, reducing churn caused by expired or cancelled credit cards by linking directly to a persistent bank account via Variable Recurring Payments.
Travel and Hospitality
Airlines and travel agencies manage large volumes and high values; direct bank transfers allow these firms to confirm bookings instantly without the risk of retroactive chargebacks frequently seen in the industry.
Wealth Management and Fintech
Investment platforms can allow users to fund their accounts instantly, ensuring capital is available for trading without the multi-day delays often found in traditional manual bank transfers or BACS.

Questions about Плащания чрез отворено банкиране
Кои са основните предимства на плащанията чрез отворено банкиране за търговците?
Търговците се възползват от по-ниски трансакционни разходи поради липсата на такси за картови схеми. Повишената сигурност чрез директно банково удостоверяване и потвърждение на плащането в реално време също са ключови предимства, подобряващи паричния поток и намаляващи излагането на измами.
Как отвореното банкиране подобрява сигурността на плащанията?
Плащанията чрез отворено банкиране използват протоколите за сигурност на банката на клиента. Трансакциите изискват директно удостоверяване в банковото приложение или портал, което елиминира необходимостта от излагане на чувствителни данни за карта онлайн и значително намалява векторите на измами.
Налично ли е отвореното банкиране в световен мащаб?
Инициативите за отворено банкиране са най-разпространени в Обединеното кралство и ЕС, движени от регулации като PSD2. Разпространението им нараства и в други региони, но покритието варира.

What is the typical settlement timeframe for these transactions?
The settlement speed depends on the underlying clearing rails used in the specific region. In the UK, most open banking payments use the Faster Payments service, which typically settles funds within seconds or minutes.
In Europe, the timeline depends on whether the bank supports SEPA Instant. If SEPA Instant is not available, it may revert to standard SEPA Credit Transfer, which can take one business day.
How does open banking interact with Strong Customer Authentication (SCA)?
Open banking is designed to be natively compliant with SCA. When a payment is initiated, the customer must authenticate the transaction using at least two factors, such as their banking app (possession) and biometrics or a passcode (inherence/knowledge).
This satisfies PSD2 requirements more fluidly than 3-D Secure, as it uses the bank's own security features that the customer is already accustomed to using.
What happens if a customer has insufficient funds?
If a customer attempts an open banking payment and does not have enough money in their account, the bank will typically refuse the transaction during the authorisation stage.
This is a significant advantage over some card transactions that may be authorised but later fail during settlement, or result in costly overdraft fees for the consumer and potential declines for the merchant.
Can open banking be used for recurring payments or only one-off transactions?
Currently, open banking is widely used for single immediate payments. However, the industry is moving towards Variable Recurring Payments (VRP) and 'sweeping' which allow for ongoing authorisations.
While not yet as universal as card-on-file or Direct Debit, VRPs are becoming an alternative for subscription models, offering more control to the consumer and instant settlement to the merchant.
