Our take
The need for online payments has grown significantly over the past three decades, with all online businesses depending on seamless payment experiences for their customers. However, existing solutions often take a one-size-fits-all approach to customer due diligence and transaction management, greatly stunting the transparency and efficiency of payments that businesses can provide.
Shieldpay provides bespoke payment solutions for businesses, helping them to set up escrow facilities, paying agents, fundraising accounts, and transaction management services regardless of scale. The company also helps to facilitate third-party managed accounts, helping businesses to increase operational efficiency, mitigate risk, and reduce administrative costs by outsourcing their client account functions.
Whilst online payment providers are nothing new, Shieldpay has recognised that bespoke solutions are required depending on the scale and transaction risk of each business, tailoring their solutions for marketplaces, eCommerce, and high-risk and high-value transactions associated with professional and legal services. Through this approach, the company aims to improve the speed, cost-effectiveness, and risk mitigation of any online transaction, complemented through the provision of a professional team of transactional experts.
