Get your bank account ready!

Banks can be as hard to work with as they will be essential for your business, especially in the payments industry.

For a lot of people, payments are something that is kind of magical, something happening behind closed doors. You press your card against a POS payment terminal and your money somehow goes from your bank account to the bank account of the merchant you are buying from. It is however a little more complexe than that; a normal credit card transaction, for instance, will include issuing bank, payment terminal, payment gateway, acquiring bank, card schemes and finally the merchant’s bank.

There’s something you can be sure of: all these players take a cut of all transactions going through them, especially banks through something called interchange fees; these fees are usually passed on to end-users. As a business, you will constantly have to deal with banks, whether it is to get your merchant account or to fight a chargeback. Even though some say banks are not your friends, you definitely don’t want to have them as your enemy.

Bank Account

Something as simple as opening a bank account can sometimes turn into a nightmare. You will sometimes face rejection from banks without having the slightest idea why. For this reason, you need to be prepared when trying to open a bank account.
null

Chargebacks

When dealing with chargebacks, you deal with banks. Depending on where you are, banks can either defend their end-users at all cost even though you have all necessary proof or they can back you up. To avoid the hassle, the best is trying to keep your chargeback level as low as possible.

Fees Everywhere

Interchange fees cover the costs  of the issuing bank for various reasons, mostly  related to credit and fraud mitigation. The scheme fees are the fees Visa or Mastercard (for instance) get for every single transaction using their payment rails.

Open Banking

It is the buzz word of the moment! Open banking can be simplified as banks sharing their APIs with third parties (mostly FinTech’s) in order to improve the service offered to end-users. It can reduce the intermediary fees, and it should definitely be part of your payment’s strategy.
