By Gloria Methri

GoCardless has partnered with Ecommpay, an international payment service provider and UK & Europe direct bank card acquirer, to strengthen its payment offering.

The partnership will see GoCardless Embed enable Ecommpay merchants to tap into direct debit capabilities in over 25 countries within a platform they already know and trust. This will help them grow in their existing markets while providing the ability to expand into new verticals and use cases where bank payments are preferred.

Ecommpay provides access to more than 100 alternative payment methods and mass payouts, as well as a sophisticated Open Banking payment solution via a unified proprietary platform. This partnership will enable the addition of direct bank payments to Ecommpay’s suite of payment options.

Arthur Ribakovs, Director of Financial Partnerships at Ecommpay, said, “We are always striving to push the boundaries of FinTech and payments innovation. We are therefore very excited to enable card payments, Open Banking, and now direct debit transactions all together through our own unified platform, making us even better suited to fit our merchants’ needs and wants.

We are also continuing to form strong partnerships to offer the very best service for our merchants, whether that’s expanding our Open Banking offering or now partnering with GoCardless for direct debit capabilities. Through Embed’s single integration, we can enhance our market-leading payments suite and continue to meet and exceed our customer’s expectations for payment choice internationally.”

Deepak Colluru, Director of Product Management for GoCardless Embed, said, “Gaining access to a wide range of payment methods is now a top priority for businesses, so PSPs need to keep up. By adding direct debit to its platform and diversifying payment choices, Ecommpay is staying ahead of the curve.”

“We are proud to support Ecommpay through GoCardless Embed, increasing its speed-to-market as it broadens its offering. And we are even more excited to bring the benefits of bank payments to thousands of businesses, helping them to win and retain customers, save time and money, and get paid on time.”

Ecommpay’s new direct debit product, enabled via white-label integration of GoCardless Embed, will be available in Q1 2024.
