Open Banking Cuts Merchant Fraud Losses
Open Banking For Ecommerce Merchants
Merchants can cut fraud losses by accepting open banking payments.
These payments move funds directly from customer bank accounts to the merchant.
A PSP offers this through its payment gateway as part of a broader set of options.
NOIRE designs acquirer-agnostic solutions that include open banking for online payments.
E-commerce payments benefit when merchants diversify beyond cards alone.
The approach requires customer consent via their bank app or portal.
Account Verification Cuts Fraud Losses
Open banking payments start with bank level account verification.
Customers confirm ownership through secure bank channels before any transfer occurs.
This step blocks many attempts that rely on stolen card data.
Merchants record fewer fraud losses and lower chargeback volumes as a direct result.
Operational risk falls because fewer disputed transactions require manual review.
PSP relationships improve when merchants demonstrate lower overall risk profiles.
“Integrating open banking with an acquirer agnostic PSP helps merchants cut costs while maintaining strong verification.” — Tim Thompson, CEO of NOIRE
Retailers in high risk sectors see the clearest gains.
They combine open banking with existing card flows to protect revenue streams.
- Lower fraud losses protect revenue directly.
- Reduced chargeback exposure cuts fees and admin time.
- Stronger verification supports continued access to competitive PSP terms.
Direct Bank Payments Lower Customer Friction
Customers complete open banking transfers without entering card details.
Checkout flows shorten because bank apps handle most of the data entry.
Lower friction raises the number of completed e-commerce payments.
Merchants gain additional revenue from transactions that would otherwise drop out.
Customer payment experience improves across desktop and mobile channels.
Direct transfers also reduce the data merchants must store and protect.
Acquirer agnostic routing lets PSPs direct suitable transactions to open banking.
This flexibility supports steady performance even when card networks show issues.
Regulatory Ready Setups Reduce PSP Relationship Risks
Open banking aligns with UK payment regulations under PSD3 requirements.
Merchants gain clearer liability positions for verified bank transfers.
Review the Financial Conduct Authority guidance to confirm current standards.
Compliant setups help maintain stable PSP relationships amid scheme rule changes.
Acquirer agnostic connections add resilience if one provider faces restrictions.
Updates from the Payment Systems Regulator stress the value of payment choice.
Merchants who prepare now avoid last minute system changes.
They also limit exposure to new fraud reimbursement obligations.
