Trustly, the global leader in open banking payments, is excited to announce a new partnership with Futon Company to introduce its 'pay by bank' service to their customers. This collaboration will enable a simpler, safer, and more efficient payment journey for millions of consumers.

‘Pay by bank’ is an account-to-account payment method that has gained significant traction over the past year. It enables consumers to make direct payments to merchants from their bank accounts. 

When opting for 'pay by bank,' consumers are directed to their mobile banking app or online banking portal, where they can execute instant payments. The solution automatically fills in all necessary payment details, such as the recipient's bank information and the payment amount, streamlining the transaction process. This method is poised to become the mainstream alternative to traditional payment methods.

With transactions averaging £200, security is paramount. The platform ensures each transaction is protected by bank-grade security measures, enhancing safety and reducing fraud risk. Additionally, Futon Company's partnership with Trustly, which reported record growth last month, will allow them to decrease dependency on conventional card payments and lower operational costs by eliminating intermediaries.
