Our take

When faced with, what was, an unprecedented increased demand for online services, businesses are re-assessing how they take payments from their customers. In this digital-first 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 huge. They receive payments in seconds, not days. Card processing fees become a thing of the past. One-time customers become return customers, such is the ease and simplicity of the Volt checkout. It’s easy to scale into new territories, too. Volt’s ambition is ‘real-time payments everywhere’, and now it’s looking to expand its team to help realise it.
