FAQ

Open banking FAQ

What is open banking (Pay by Bank)?

Open banking lets a customer pay directly from their bank account. They pick their bank, approve the payment in their banking app, and the funds move account-to-account over instant payment rails — no card details involved.

Which countries are covered?

ZepoPay's open banking covers the European Union and EEA (under PSD2) and the United Kingdom (under the UK Open Banking Standard).

How fast is settlement?

In the EU, payments use SEPA Instant Credit Transfer and typically arrive in around ten seconds. In the UK, payments use Faster Payments and arrive in seconds, 24/7.

Are there chargebacks with open banking?

Open banking payments are bank-authorised push payments, so they are not subject to card-scheme chargebacks. Refunds are issued by you, directly from the dashboard.

Is open banking cheaper than cards?

Usually yes. Account-to-account payments avoid interchange and scheme fees, which makes them significantly cheaper than card acceptance for most merchants.

Can open banking be used for KYC or account verification?

Yes. With the customer's consent, account information services confirm account ownership and can support source-of-funds checks — useful before payouts in iGaming and trading.
