Acapture introduces SlicePay, a PSD2-compliant payment product that supports merchants to handle complex split settlements
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Quick integration and no upfront fees, while meeting all PSD2 requirements
AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, Sept. 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acapture, a
global, data-driven omnichannel PSP, has launched SlicePay, an easy-to-integrate
product designed to reduce the burden of payouts to multiple parties in various
countries and currencies. By adding SlicePay to its portfolio, Acapture now
offers a BaFin validated, PSD2-compliant solution to its international
clientele. It supports marketplaces, sharing economy operators, franchises,
online travel agencies and other companies handling third-party funds to become
fully compliant with PSD2 (Payment Service Directive 2).
Through PSD2, the European Union (EU) opens up the market to new parties, lowers
the influence of banks and adds new measures to protect citizens and their
funds. Organizations that operate a marketplace business model, handling
transactions between two or more parties, when either or both of the parties are
located in the EU, are severely disrupted by PSD2. They need to either obtain a
payment institution license or find an accredited partner to fulfill the
transactions on their behalf. This also applies to Asia/US based merchants if
they want to expand their business into the European region. Obtaining such a
license is costly both in terms of time and resources.
As a licensed payment institution in the EU, Acapture is accredited to handle
these types of transactions on its merchants' behalf. Acapture will process and
collect the funds, which are then securely stored in a trusted third-party
account. Through simple and automated set of APIs calls, the merchant can
instruct the system to split transactions and payout funds to its sellers. The
seller can receive funds directly into their bank accounts, with no need for e-
wallets. The solution does not interfere with the merchant's business model,
offering a compliant solution, keeping the consumers' funds safe and secure.
Alongside the challenge of PSD2, these organizations also need to manage complex
payouts to various partners. With one RESTful API, SlicePay makes this process
simple through an automated payment system. The marketplace receives a single
payment from the buyer, which SlicePay splits between the sellers, in the right
currency, at the right time and in compliance with all regulations. If needed, a
secured account can be used to hold the funds until the product has been
delivered.
Marketplaces can use SlicePay to handle their seller's transactions regardless
of whether or not the seller is a client of Acapture, as the on-boarding and
client management is all done on their side. By doing so, the full customer
experience remains in the hands of the marketplace.
"We let merchants focus on growing their business and we take care of the rest.
With regulation cited as one of the top ecommerce challenges, merchants are
about to face a highly disruptive legislation change, namely the activation of
the revised payment services directive," said John Snoek, VP Product at
Acapture. "Online marketplaces are currently experiencing massive growth and
that's what they should continue to focus on: refining and following their own
growth strategies. When developing SlicePay we aimed to offer such companies a
flexible, cost-effective payment solution that makes PSD2 compliance feel easy,
allowing them to concentrate on developing their business."
Companies that fail to become PSD2 compliant could face major financial
penalties if found operating without a license from January 2018 onwards. More
information regarding the implications and consequences of PSD2 can be found in
Acapture's latest research reports, available here. Marketplaces can check if
PSD2 affects them here.
