JP Morgan and Mastercard Launch Pay-by-Bank Product for Streamlined Payments

JP Morgan and Mastercard have taken a significant step forward in revolutionizing bill payments with the introduction of their Pay-by-Bank product, as highlighted in Finextra news. This innovative solution empowers billers to offer their customers a hassle-free method to settle bills directly from their bank accounts, utilizing the traditional ACH (Automated Clearing House) banking rails.

The foundation of this pioneering product is Mastercard’s cutting-edge open banking technology. JP Morgan aims to leverage this partnership to enhance its Payments’ ACH capabilities significantly. The collaboration between JP Morgan and Mastercard was initiated in November 2022, with the objective of not only enhancing the overall customer experience but also prioritizing convenience, speed, and, crucially, security.

For billers whose customers are already accustomed to ACH payments, the integration of the Pay-by-Bank solution is a straightforward process. On their existing payments page, billers can provide the «Pay-by-Bank» option. When consumers opt for this method, they will be guided to select their bank and securely share their bank account information through Mastercard’s open banking platform to facilitate recurring payments.

Max Neukirchen, Head of Payments and Commerce Solutions at JP Morgan, expressed the bank’s commitment to offering clients a wide array of payment options. Neukirchen stated, «Our partnership with Mastercard will allow for easy and secure payments directly from bank accounts. We are excited for the future as we have a robust pipeline of biller clients across the U.S. interested in using our Pay-by-Bank offering to digitize their processes and increase payments efficiency.»

Verizon, one of the prominent players in the telecommunications industry, is poised to pilot the Pay-by-Bank solution with its U.S. customers in the near future. Darrell Conn, Executive Director at Verizon, remarked, «This innovative payment option aligns with our commitment to providing our customers with convenient and secure payment choices. We believe that Pay-by-bank will enhance the overall customer experience, making it easier and more efficient for our customers to pay their bills.»

In an era where digital transformation continues to reshape various sectors, JP Morgan and Mastercard’s Pay-by-Bank product signifies a significant step towards modernizing and streamlining the bill payment process. By harnessing open banking technology and prioritizing security, this collaboration has the potential to reshape how consumers settle their bills, making it more convenient and secure than ever before.
