The Real Time Payments Express, powered by Starling, will supply an API-driven real-time payment and settlement service. In addition, it provides all the core benefits of the historical access methods to Faster Payments.
Furthermore, the solution is SAAS-based and equipped with full tracking to allow customer to see exactly where their payments have been made and received in the network.
“Real-time payments are becoming the new norm around the world. In the UK, where the Faster Payments Scheme has enjoyed over a decade of growth, we have the technology needed to allow more participants to gain the benefit of full access to 24×7 instant payments,” said Julian Sawyer, Head of Banking Services at Starling Bank. “Our new solution partnered with Bottomline delivers exactly this.”
“There is real transformation coming into the U.K. through the New Payments Architecture, Open Banking and PSD2 which gives rise for innovative partnership approaches like our Real Time Payments Express,” said Nigel Savory, Managing Director, Europe, Bottomline Technologies. “We insulate our clients from the ambiguity ahead by plugging them into Bottomline, where we remove the complexity and future-proof the changes ahead for them.”
