Overview
As older payment methods recede, pay-by-bank is emerging as a contender at the point of sale. It allows consumers to continue using the funds in their checking accounts, as they do with ACH payments, but adds greater security with real-time authentication and confirmation of payment.
Merchants, too, benefit from the security of pay-by-bank payments, because they don’t have to store sensitive consumer information. For banks, there’s a loss of interchange revenue, but they can rework their strategies to remain the most favored payment method by their customers.
