One-click payments and top-ups
After authenticating just once, your customers can make one-click payments that settle instantly on an ongoing, ad-hoc basis.
Subscriptions
Minimise collection failures by pre-verifying account balances and receiving instant status updates.
Credit and lending
Give customers a better way to repay loans, credit cards, and overdrafts by automatically collecting funds from an account with a positive balance.
Why your customers will love VRPs
More control
Set maximum payment amounts, collection dates and a time limit on the mandate consent.
Transparency
See all recurring payment mandates in one place and get live notifications when payments are collected.
Simpler setup
No need to enter details manually – authenticate recurring payments once with Face ID or a fingerprint and get an instant confirmation.
How businesses can use VRPs
VRPs work similarly to direct debits, except payments are authenticated right away with the customer’s bank and run on open banking rails – meaning it’s faster, more cost-effective, and secure.
Ad-hoc payments such as automated top-ups
Fixed recurring payments for subscriptions or rental payments
Variable recurring payments for loan or BNPL repayments and utility bills
