How Zepto is Using Basiq<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’re working with Zepto Payments to enable merchants to avoid dishonour fees and deliver a frictionless experience to customers. Zepto is using the Basiq Open Banking Platform to enable customers to choose to securely connect their bank accounts to simplify bank transfers and create a seamless payment experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Reserve Bank of Australia, Direct entry (direct debit and direct credit) transactions grew by 8.6% in volume in 2016 to 3.5 billion transactions. \u00a0Direct debit payments make up approximately 1.08 billion transactions per year with up to 20% failing for reasons such as insufficient funds or incorrect account details. \u00a0This means that Australian merchants waste approximately $432 million in dishonour fees a year. \u00a0That doesn\u2019t even account for administration costs in dealing with failed payments and involuntary churn due to dishonours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why Basiq?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With Basiq, it’s possible to ensure that customers have enough money in their account and verify that the account information is correct before the transaction is made, enabling Zepto to have 99.8% confidence that all direct debits will be successful. \u00a0Plus, the merchant can preemptively communicate with the customer before a payment fails if they don\u2019t have sufficient funds. \u00a0This is a revolutionary way to solve a problem which has been ‘plague’ to the payment industry from the beginning. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
