What Open banking payment is
An open banking payment is a category rather than a single brand: an FCA authorised payment initiation provider hands you to your own bank's app, you approve a transfer whose details are already filled in, and the money moves from your account to the merchant without a card. In the UK the standards and directory are run by Open Banking Limited, and only firms authorised by the FCA may initiate payments, always with your explicit consent. More than one billion such payments have been initiated since launch, with about 40 million in June 2026 alone, and UK exchanges offer it as a card free way to fund a GBP balance.
