Account-to-account (A2A) payment infrastructure provider, Token.io, has partnered with Flutterwave, an African payments technology company. The partnership will power Pay By Bank transfer capabilities for the Flutterwave platform. By working with Token.io, Flutterwave can give its African e-commerce merchants enhanced access to UK and EU customers. This will advance its mission of connecting Africa to the global economy.

A2A payments (often called ‘Pay By Bank’) are a fast and secure way to move money between bank accounts. Open banking powered A2A payments do not require registration or error-prone data entry, making them a seamless payment method. End-users authenticate A2A payments directly with their bank for a frictionless experience, delivering higher success rates than market standards.
