Our take

When faced with an unprecedented surge in demand for online services, businesses are re-assessing how they accept payments from customers. In this digital age, are debit and credit cards still the answer? Volt doesn't believe so.

The company is using the power of open banking to build the first global real-time payment network. In essence, it enables merchants across the globe to accept account-based payments from their customers – seamlessly, and at lightning speed.

The benefits for businesses are significant. With Volt, payments are processed in seconds, not days, and the burden of card processing fees is eliminated. The simplicity and convenience of the Volt checkout transform one-time customers into returning clients. Volt's ambition is clear: to make real-time payment accessible everywhere, and with ongoing expansions, the company is well on its way to making that ambition a reality.
