Understanding an easy bank transfer

An easy bank transfer is a type of payment method, powered by open banking. It allows you to transfer funds between accounts without relying on cards or third-party payment networks. It’s easier than traditional bank transfers and more secure than card payments.

What is open banking?

Open banking began in the UK in 2018, whereby the some of the largest banks in the country were required to implement criteria to allow secure access to customer data. This was followed by EU Regulations (PSD2), requiring all banks to give access to a client's financial data, with their consent. Its goal is to give more transparency and control over their money. It enables a user to securely connect to their bank and authorise an instant bank transfer to their account, instead of using a card or third-party provider.

How secure are easy bank transfers?

Easy bank transfers are extremely safe. Payments are authenticated directly with your bank using a secure, read-only connection. Your login credentials are never stored or shared. We partnered with TrueLayer to securely connect to your bank
