General

The Pay by Bank payment service allows users to make online purchases directly from their bank accounts without using a credit or debit card. Pay by Bank is based on the concept of Open Banking, where third-party providers like Tink have secure access to bank data and can initiate payments on behalf of customers.

Tink provides the technical solution for Pay by Bank, while Payrexx ensures the payment flow.

The Pay by Bank payment method is available to merchants in Switzerland who accept cross-border payments in EUR.
