The Role of Open Banking in Shaping Pay by Bank Experiences

In today’s era of digital payments, the industry has embraced new technologies across the payments value chain to deliver experiences that are flexible, seamless, and simplified. Yet, when it comes to account-to-account payments, otherwise known as bank transfers or pay by bank, the process has relied mainly on manual data entry of account and routing numbers, a process that’s time-consuming, error-prone and tedious. That’s where open banking comes in.

This session explores the experiences, features, and outcomes that U.S. consumers expect when connecting their financial data with third parties to make payments (aka open banking), while highlighting the benefits for businesses and merchants of advancing pay by bank. The panel will dig into how to optimize pay by bank to meet the demands of digital-savvy users and expand consumer choice while mitigating administrative burden and delivering modern payments experiences.
