TrueLayer launches Payouts, a new way for operators to issue instant refunds and withdrawals
TrueLayer, Europe’s leading open banking platform, today announced the launch of Payouts, a new solution to tackle the issues of slow withdrawals and refunds. Payouts is already being used by TrueLayer clients, including the UK’s leading online car retailer, Cazoo, to instantly pay customers when they sell their car via the platform.
Today, customers expect payments that arrive in their account in seconds. The five days it can take for card or Bacs payments to appear frustrates customers and leads to a lack of loyalty. This is made worse when operators, as part of their due diligence, need to verify new user’s payment details and identity before issuing a payout, stopping customers mid-flow and making the process even slower.
Traditional payout methods require managing multiple reports, endless rows of data, and manually tracking each payment, creating inefficiencies, input errors and complaints from customers whose payouts were never issued.
TrueLayer has tackled the issue of fragmented and slow payout processes by combining open banking verification and the fastest payment rails available to ensure players are paid to the right account, right away. The open banking-powered verification process works by matching the name provided by the customer with what’s on file at their bank to confirm the details are correct. Results are returned in seconds. Gone are the days of asking customers to upload bank statements for compliance teams to review, or using micro-deposits that can be cumbersome for users to confirm.
With the player’s details pre-populated and verified, payouts are then automatically issued through TrueLayer’s robust infrastructure, connected to thousands of banks in the UK and across the EU through a simple API integration.
“Businesses today are laser-focused on customer experience, and the post-purchase experience involving customers requesting refunds or users withdrawing their funds, is critical to build loyalty. We built Payouts to take the pain out of these transactions and enable operators to create a compelling value proposition for their entire customer base – withdraw your funds or receive refunds instantly,” commented Murtaza Bootwala, Head of Payments at TrueLayer. “It is designed with iGaming in mind, where customers are growing increasingly frustrated by the poor experiences they have to endure as a result of outdated infrastructure. In 2021 it shouldn’t take days, sometimes over a week, to receive a payment.”
TrueLayer is the only provider that can deliver account verification, powered by open banking, with Payouts to deliver payments for operators that:
-
Increase retention and encourage service-switching: granting instant access to funds that settle in seconds, 24/7, without having to go through lengthy verification processes, players get what they want – their money instantly – compared to five days that cards or Bacs can take.
-
Eliminate the cost of lost or failed payouts: using bank-verified account information to automate payment setup.
-
Remove manual tracking processes: initiating multiple payouts via a single API, removing errors from the whole equation.
-
Streamline due diligence: using open banking verification, TrueLayer crosschecks the name provided by the end-user during registration with what’s on file at their bank to confirm that the details entered are correct. This helps businesses to minimise money laundering risk.
-
Improve the customer experience: no don’t need to remember account details, or manually fill any forms. With a simple redirect to their bank they can authenticate their account details using fingerprint or Face ID.
“TrueLayer is leading the charge to ensure payments processes that truly work for the customer and the business, ditching outdated methods to deliver the best possible payments experience,” added Bootwala. “By verifying the account details before paying out, you can say goodbye to the days of failed or lost payments, and reduce the strain on customer support. And by offering instant payouts, iGaming operators can build players’ trust and encourage others to switch over to your service.”
The launch of Payouts continues the expansion of TrueLayer’s solutions built on top of its market-leading open banking network in 2021, following the launch of PayDirect in January.
