Open Finance · Instant Payment

No cards, no wallet, just the customer’s consent.

Instant Payment lets a customer initiate an account-to-account payment directly from their bank. They review it, give explicit consent, and authenticate with their bank; Bancify securely submits the instruction and shows the status the bank returns. No cards in the middle, and no funds held by Bancify. Designed for the UAE Open Finance Framework.

What it is

Bank to bank,
on one consent.

Instant Payment initiates a customer-approved payment straight from their bank account. The customer reviews the beneficiary and amount, gives explicit consent, and authenticates with their own bank. Bancify submits the instruction on the UAE Open Finance Framework and shows the status the bank returns. Bancify never holds or moves the money; the banks and payment systems execute and settle it.

Use cases

Four ways money moves.

One rail, four everyday jobs: send to a person, respond to a request, pay a merchant, and pay a bill.

Person to person

Send money to a person, bank to bank.

Straight from one bank account to another, with no card number and no hunt for account details.

Send a peer-to-peer payment to anyone, initiated directly from the bank. The sender reviews it and approves it in their own banking app, both sides get a confirmation, and each transfer keeps a clean, matchable record.

  • Direct account-to-account transfer, on the sender’s consent
  • Confirmation to both sides
  • A clean, matchable record of every transfer

Pay a merchant

Let customers pay you straight from their bank.

Turn “pay now” into a direct bank approval, with no card details to store.

Instead of entering card details, your customer confirms a pay-by-bank checkout from their banking app, and the payment is initiated straight from their account. Each payment carries its own reference, so reconciliation stays clean. It works the same for checkout, bills, and invoices.

  • Pay-by-bank at checkout, on bills, and against invoices
  • Account-to-account, without card details in the middle
  • Each payment referenced and ready to reconcile

Request to pay

Request a payment, get paid on approval.

Send a request; the payer reviews it and approves straight from their bank.

Send a Request-to-Pay to a customer or a peer. They see exactly what is being asked, approve it, and authenticate with their bank. The payment is initiated account-to-account with a reference already attached, where the journey is supported by the approved API scope.

  • A clear request the payer reviews and approves
  • Bank-to-bank once approved, on the payer’s consent
  • Referenced and ready to reconcile

Request-to-Pay is available where supported by the approved API scope.

Invoices & bills

Pay an invoice or a one-time bill.

Settle an invoice or bill straight from the bank, with no card and no re-keying.

Pay a one-time bill or an invoice directly from your bank account. The beneficiary and amount are pre-filled, you consent and authenticate with your bank, and the reference travels with the payment so it reconciles cleanly on both sides.

  • Beneficiary and amount pre-filled
  • Consent and bank authentication
  • Reference carried end to end
