CTS Eventim, a provider of ticketing services and live entertainment in Europe, is offering its customers a new, simple and user-friendly payment option.

Collaborating with Tink, a payment services and data enrichment platform, CTS EVENTIM has now added Pay by Bank to its checkout process.

Pay by Bank is an open banking online payment method that lets users authenticate and initiate payments directly from their bank account into a seller’s account in a few clicks. With minimal data entry and fewer redirects, this account-to-account payment offering provides a secure experience, allowing merchants to differentiate themselves from the competition.

Harnessing Tink’s pan-European network, Pay by Bank is now a checkout option for CTS EVENTIM customers across Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and the United Kingdom.

There are ambitions to expand into more markets throughout 2024

Sören Kuthning, Head of E-Commerce Finance Operations, CTS EVENTIM: “We’ve integrated Pay by Bank from Tink to offer our customers a seamless, secure, and instant way to pay directly from their bank accounts. This enhances the checkout experience by reducing payment failures and processing times. The additional option not only improves customer satisfaction but also supports us in delivering an efficient and reliable service.”

Thomas Gmelch, DACH Payments Director at Tink, added: “Today’s consumers demand simplicity and speed in their payment processes, particularly when purchasing tickets for sought-after events. Pay by Bank delivers precisely that, offering one of the smoothest online payment experiences.
