The Players : merchant direct connection.

Through this partnership, WLPayments enables access to multiple acquiring solutions giving merchants many choices with one integration.

The Player 3ds management

3DS management as an integral part of payment orchestration – how to increase acceptance without adding costs

In recent years, there has been a huge increase in the use and advertisement of payment orchestration solutions. In many cases, the term payment orchestration gets blurred and loses its intrinsic value. In essence, an intelligent payment orchestration solution should take care of the whole transaction journey, from the payment initiation and authorisation to its reconciliation process for online merchants. 

The Player -  constant change

Constant changes in regulations demand a future-proof payments platform

While working at GlobalCollect, I identified the gaps in the online payments industry, and many were related to these new changes. At WLPayments, we were able to address those gaps during the design phase of our platform architecture. We focused our efforts on building a modular infrastructure, which now allows us to adapt and build effective solutions for the dynamic payments landscape with flexibility and speed.

The Player - Future Proof

Learnings for futureproof cooperation between fintech and incumbents

In some sectors, like online payments, fintech has become a force to reckon with, often achieving valuations that traditional financial companies can only dream of. But the big old banks and insurers are still there and, in some cases, even more profitable than before.

The Players new payment partner

Flex 3DS, WLPayments’ proprietary payment authentication solution is implemented at the gateway level, which routes the transactions to an appropriate 3DS provider, such as Netcetera, for 3DS-checks.

Market developments have been the driving force behind the inception of this new platform. We, at WLPayments, believe that if you do not compete with yourself, then somebody else definitely will. Hence, we want to keep innovating and keep delivering the best possible solutions to our clients.

The Players - 3d Secure

3D Secure – tackling key challenges and anticipating oncoming developments

When 3DS was first introduced, back in 1999, it was not a highly adaptable solution simply because technologies that are commonplace today had not yet been invented. After the mobile revolution, the static password issue was tackled by implementing one-time passwords or OTPs. EMVCo collected all the data on transactions and started reading out the patterns in them – which transaction is fraudulent and which transaction is not, or which transactions are more prone to chargebacks. They devised an upgraded version of 3DS: 3-D Secure 2.0 or 3DS2.

Fintech News - 3Ds

WLPayments announces the addition of their Flex 3DS solution, which addresses new 3DS challenges

WLPayments is pleased to announce the addition of the new Flex 3DS solution to their payment orchestration platform. This solution is an acquirer-independent flexible 3DS innovation and is especially relevant in the post-PSD2 environment.

The Players  payment orchestration

How to make the best out of payment orchestration with the right payment partner

Even when working on a modern payment platform, expanding a business globally comes with many challenges. However, on a dated platform, these challenges could mean the end of your expansion. Issues such as high costs, extended timelines for integrations, insufficient insights, and difficulties complying with new rules and regulations may arise, not to mention the need for innovations like pay-by-link, split payments, or one-click payments. Therefore, working with the right PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) provider that can help with payment orchestration is crucial, especially for large merchants operating in multiple domains and countries.

The Players  - New payment features

Deutsche Payment, WLPayments join forces for new payment features

Deutsche Payment and WLPayments have announce their partnership in combining Deutsche Payment’s expertise and WLPayments’ technology to service the German market.

The reason behind this collaboration is that the Germany-based independent sales organisation, Deutsche Payment, was looking for a payment gateway partner as the company wanted to offer its clients a multi-acquirer setup, routing possibilities, and all other conversion boosting payment features, with effortless integrations. The company required new payment innovations, extensive reporting features, and intuitive interfaces in order to provide its merchants with scalable payments infrastructure.

Finextra payment orchestration

What problems does payment orchestration solve?

Payment orchestration is a hot topic in digital payments and needless to say, it has become even more relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic. Essentially, a payment orchestration platform can help businesses scale faster, remove the complexities from their payments and optimize their payment flows. All of this sounds great, but naturally, most decision-makers want to know what problems does payment orchestration specifically solve, so I will discuss some of these issues below. 
Fintech - enabling social media payment

Why enabling social media payments is essential for PSPs

Social media shopping is a growing international trend with a huge potential for commerce. This has only been exaggerated by the COVID-19 crisis, with one global study reporting an increase in social media engagement of 61% over normal usage rates. Thus, payment service providers (PSPs) and other financial institutions should support their clients with social media payments, as the pandemic shutdown forced the future of social shopping to arrive on a much, much faster timeline.

Finextra - not see SCA as a threat

Why you should not see SCA as a threat

The payments system is no stranger to regulations, but PSD2 (Payment Services Directive 2) is given additional importance due to its impact and a new generation’s expectations. However, in this new digital era, PSD2  is the key to fighting online fraud while boosting innovation with new payment services. 

The major development of PSD2 is the introduction of new security measures like SCA (Strong Customer Authentication). 3DS2 technology is the solution specifically designed to comply with the SCA requirements and overcome the shortcomings of the original 3D Secure protocol, 3DS1. For this reason, it will also bring a wealth of benefits to both merchants and customers.

pymnts Utilizing mobile payment integration

Utilizing mobile payment integrations to drive growth

New Integrations boost Apple Pay options – many payment platforms are also working to integrate mobile payment options, especially as the COVID-19 pandemic drives more commerce online and makes transactions that require physical interaction inadvisable. Global payments platform WLPayments is integrating Apple Pay into its merchants payments offerings, for example, enabling its merchant clients’ customers to make one-click purchases using their smartphones, Apple Watches, iPads or computers.

Cash payment news

Mobile Wallets: the Past, Present and Future

In recent years mobile wallets have grown in popularity as the payments industry has become increasingly digital. This trend has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, with one study reporting an increase in mobile wallet payments of 50%, reaching $1.47 trillion value worldwide this year.
Finextra PSP

Why PSPs must do more to boost social-media payments

Purchasing items on social media is a growing international trend with huge potential. During the COVID-19 crisis, 42% of people in an international Global Web Index survey reported spending a greater amount of time on the likes of Facebook and Instagram. And with social distancing continuing for months, that trend is likely to continue.

According to PayPal, around eight million Britons currently buy items through social platforms and less than a quarter of businesses sell through them. It’s an underappreciated way of trading that CMOs at PSPs, along with banks and other financial institutions, should help clients concentrate on much more.

Apple Pay integrated with WLPayments to serve merchants across the world

WLPayments, the trusted white-labelled global payments platform that consolidates multiple features like transaction routing and reconciliation, brings its customers Apple Pay. Apple Pay is now part of WLPayments Hosted Payment Page, which provides one-click integration for online merchants using a WLPayments partner as their payments provider.
Finextra - Payment Evolution can drive conversion

How payment evolution can drive conversions

A record 33% of UK purchases took place online in May, according to the Office for National Statistics. Yet with average conversion rates at less than 3%, firms are still missing out on billions of potential income.

The likes of better, persuasive sales copy on websites can help firms profit more from the fast-rising interest in e-commerce in the post COVID-19 world. But CEOs and CMOs at PSPs and banks must ensure that their organisations are supplying clients and their customers with seamless checkout experiences. Payment platforms should be mobile-friendly and instantly offer an alternative payment method when the customer’s first choice did not work out. And of course it should send out second-chance emails if a customer has prematurely abandoned the payment page. Moreover, they should let customers use their native currency, if possible. However, if firms are to really compete, platforms also need to make heavy use of recent innovations.

Fintech Finance - Buy or not buy

To buy or not to buy? A payments business dilemma

The ecommerce market is on a powerful growth trajectory – one that has only been boosted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic forcing shoppers globally to stay at home. According to eMarketer, global ecommerce sales will hit $5 trillion next year, following a period of annual growth rates of over 20%.

The opportunity for banks and other payment businesses is enormous. Billions of dollars of fees are available for companies that can make international ecommerce as smooth and seamless as possible for their merchants. The trouble is that offering a truly international payments platform is challenging for any organisation, let alone an established bank or payments business with dated technology and a sprawling existing infrastructure and client base to manage.

Financial IT - Control Digital Payment

Staying in control of digital payments

For the CIOs and CTOs of banks and PSPs, fraud and security are never very far from their minds. Protecting both their own organisations and their merchants from the threat of cybercrime is a truly business-critical challenge – and one in which the stakes are always changing.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has brought the issue even more to the fore. With many bank branches closed, cybercriminals have jumped at the chance to develop tailored scam and spear phishing campaigns, attempting to steal consumers’ login credentials. Others have capitalised on people’s desire for information in these uncertain times, creating phishing emails purporting to offer official updates and advice.

Emarketer has predicted that global ecommerce sales will reach $5 trillion by 2021, following sustained annual growth rates of more than 20%.

The Player :  Key consideration

Key considerations when choosing a new payment platform

Sunil Jhamb, Newgen Payments: When it comes to white-label platforms, being technically relevant and anticipating market trends is of the utmost importance.

In the fintech markets of today, open and modular banking is a continuing trend. At the same time, it is a highly specialized and complicated ecosystem for outsiders to figure out. The growing demand for white-label solutions triggers various companies to offer their solution as a white-label product. The same goes for payment platforms.
