Payments Processing Back-Office

Simplify your back-office payments processing

Payment processing is a fundamental part of the services banks provide to their clients. But it is also highly complex. Developments such as the introduction of instant payments, new regulatory obligations coming from the PSD2 Directive and increasing customer requirements force the industry to reshape payment processing drastically. This leads to serious challenges for banks, and puts pressure on margins.

As your specialized partner in payments back-office processing equensWorldline can help you with these challenges. We make sure that all required steps in the process are taken care of, efficiently and in real time. This includes receipt of the payment instruction, validation, enrichment, compliance checks, generation of debit/credit entries, submission for interbank settlement, and client reporting. While we perform processing of your payments, you can stay focused on your core business.

Client reference

Degussa Bank AG faced the challenge to modernize its payments processing infrastructure and after careful consideration decided to outsource their end-to-end payments processing to equensWorldline SE. This includes SEPA processing, cross-border payments, high value payments, compliances services, investigations, archiving and additionally a full channel service suite including SWIFT service bureau, corporate access and paper based payments.
