The payment is assembled before your bank sends it.
A merchant creates a request with the amount, recipient and reference already set. A regulated payment initiation provider, like Wonderful, connects that journey to the selected bank through Open Banking APIs. The customer reviews and approves inside their banking app. The bank then sends the account-to-account payment through Faster Payments.
Wonderful One gives a merchant four ways to present that request: a payment link, QR code, invoice or Wonderful Tap. The customer chooses a bank and approves there. The merchant can create and track the payment from a phone.
Almost one in five June recurring payments moved money between a person's own accounts.
