Verifone, through its online payment solution Paybox, and 1POINT6, a BNP Paribas subsidiary specializing in third-party payments, are announcing the launch of an all-in-one online payment offer for French e-commerce businesses.
With this new offer, merchants can now access the building blocks they need to accept online payments, secure transactions and collect funds through a single contract. Verifone provides its expertise in payment acceptance, while 1POINT6 delivers bank acquiring, account opening and KYC processes.
The offer addresses an operational reality that remains common for e-commerce businesses: the need to manage multiple contracts, contacts and invoices between the acquiring bank, the payment service provider and various technical partners.
A single contract for a simpler payment experience
Online payment acceptance is still often perceived as complex, particularly for businesses launching an e-commerce activity or looking to upgrade their payment infrastructure.
The traditional journey usually involves signing a distance-selling agreement with a bank, selecting and integrating a payment provider, and then managing several contractual and operational relationships.
Verifone and 1POINT6 are offering an integrated approach. Merchants benefit from a single point of contact and a single contract covering:
- payment page integration;
- transaction security;
- fraud prevention and management tools;
- account opening and KYC checks;
- bank acquiring;
- settlement of funds into the merchant’s account.
This setup is designed to streamline merchant onboarding while providing greater clarity on subscribed services and associated costs.
“Payments should not be a source of complexity for e-commerce businesses. Yet between banking contracts, technical integration and the multiplication of stakeholders, payments can quickly slow down a launch or digital transformation project. With 1POINT6, we are bringing together the essential expertise in a single offer to provide merchants with a reliable payment experience that is easy to deploy and transparent,” says Guillaume Broutart, Managing Director France at Verifone.
Two complementary areas of expertise serving merchants
Through its Paybox solution, Verifone brings more than 25 years of expertise in online payment acceptance. The offer covers, in particular, the payment page, transaction security, back-office capabilities and fraud prevention tools.
As a BNP Paribas subsidiary, 1POINT6 combines the strength of a major European banking group with the operational excellence of a solution designed to meet the specific requirements of online payments.
This combination enables e-commerce businesses to benefit from high levels of reliability, security and compliance, while offering a simple and seamless journey.
This complementarity makes it possible to offer a solution designed to address the main challenges of online payment collection: speed of implementation, operational reliability, security, compliance and greater clarity throughout the payment journey.
Beyond simplifying launch processes, the offer is also aimed at companies looking to upgrade their payment setup or reduce the number of providers involved in their day-to-day operations.
A new step in the development of the 1POINT6 ecosystem
For 1POINT6, this partnership forms part of a broader strategy to develop its ecosystem and connect its services with established payment acceptance solutions already available on the market.
Created to address the needs of companies that collect, split and pay out funds within a regulated framework, 1POINT6 is continuing to deploy its payment and acquiring capabilities among players in the digital economy.
Its integration within the BNP Paribas group enables it to combine a specialized technology approach with the support of a major European banking group.
“Our ambition is to make payments easier for businesses to operate, without compromising on compliance, security or quality of service. The partnership with Verifone brings together, within a single offer, Paybox’s long-standing expertise in payment acceptance and 1POINT6’s acquiring capabilities. It is a concrete response for e-commerce businesses looking for more seamless support in the management of their payments,” says Guillaume Massis, co-founder of 1POINT6.
The Paybox x 1POINT6 offer is now available through the Verifone and 1POINT6 teams.
