Trustly, an Account-to-Account (A2A) payments provider, has entered an alliance with French fintech firm Paytweak.  

The collaboration delivers a fully SEPA-compliant solution by integrating Paytweak’s smart payment links into Trustly’s A2A payment flows, while also enhancing Paytweak’s platform with Trustly’s direct, instant, and recurring banking infrastructure. 

This partnership results in a “unified” payment solution that aligns with European regulations, offering simplicity, security, and efficiency to businesses throughout the region, Trustly said in a statement. 

Businesses using Paytweak can now enable Trustly’s direct bank payment feature without the need for cards or technical integration.  

The solution offers instant, recurring, or localised payments through a simple link, prioritising a “mobile-first” user experience. 

Adhering to the PSD2 and GDPR standards, the integrated payment solution can be incorporated into various business operations, including accounting, collections, and customer support.  

It aims to improve conversion rates, reduce fraud through secure bank authentication, accelerate collections independent of card-related delays, and decrease costs by eliminating interchange fees. 

The initiative seeks to position A2A payments as a new norm for business transactions in France and other European countries, the company said in a statement. 

 
Trustly Southern Europe chief commercial officer Jérémy Pons said: “With this partnership, we strengthen our commitment to offering payment solutions truly adapted to the realities of the French and European market.  

“This announcement reflects our ambition to make payments a true strategic asset for businesses. By integrating our solutions within the Paytweak environment, we give French players direct access to the power of European A2A, in a simple, secure, and high-performing framework.” 

Paytweak head of sales Jérôme Torricelli stated: “This partnership with Trustly is a natural step in our mission: to simplify payments for businesses while guaranteeing performance and compliance. By combining our expertise in payment links with Trustly’s banking infrastructure, we offer a credible and European alternative to traditional card-based models.” 

Earlier in February, Trustly, in collaboration with Swedish fintech Kivra, developed a direct debit service that simplifies the process of setting up automatic payments with BankID verification.
