Stripe and TrueLayer to roll out Pay by Bank in France and Germany
The move represents the extension of the partnership, which began in the UK.
The feature is designed to simplify the checkout process for businesses operating in France and Germany.
It enables consumers to bypass the traditional entry of card details and authorise payments directly from their bank accounts, often using biometric methods such as fingerprint or facial recognition for authentication.
Utilising TrueLayer's open banking infrastructure, Stripe's 'Pay by Bank' connects directly to bank accounts across Europe.
Ryanair, which partnered with TrueLayer in December last year, is also implementing this payment option for their customers.
TrueLayer Germany country manager Sebastian Vetter said: 'Having seen the success of Stripe's TrueLayer integration in other markets, we are thrilled to bring this innovative payment solution to Germany and France.
'By leveraging TrueLayer's open banking infrastructure, we're enabling German and French businesses to accept payments directly from bank accounts, making transactions faster, safer, and more affordable.'
Businesses can avoid card processing fees, which can lead to reduced transaction costs, the TrueLayer press release said.
Payments are processed in real-time, and the method employs 'secure, bank-approved' authentication protocols.
TrueLayer processes €2bn in 'Pay by Bank' transactions annually in France and €1.4bn in Germany.
The integration will be available to all Stripe users in France and Germany in the near future.
Last month, Stripe reached an agreement to acquire Privy, a crypto wallet startup based in New York.
Privy, established in 2021 by Henri Stern and Asta Li, specialises in providing developers with an API to create secure wallets, sign transactions, and integrate blockchain systems.
"Stripe and TrueLayer to roll out Pay by Bank in France and Germany " was originally created and published by Electronic Payments International, a GlobalData owned brand.

Estoy muy complacido con esta aplicación móvil y, además, tengo acceso a través de la web. Es vitalicia. Excellent value, and best language selection .

Mistral in talks with VC firms, MGX to raise funds at $10 billion valuation, FT reports
(Reuters) -French artificial intelligence startup Mistral is in talks with investors, venture capital firms and Abu Dhabi's MGX to raise $1 billion at a valuation of $10 billion, the Financial Times reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. The company launched in June Europe's first AI reasoning model, which uses logical thinking to create a response, as it tries to keep pace with American and Chinese rivals at the forefront of AI development. The funding would accelerate the commercial rollout of Mistral's Le Chat chatbot and support continued development of its large language models, the report said. MGX and Mistral did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. The startup raised 600 million euros in a Series B funding round that valued the company at 5.8 billion euros last year. Industry observers consider Mistral as Europe's best-positioned AI company to rival Silicon Valley leaders, though the French firm has yet to achieve comparable market traction or revenue scale. Mistral counts Nvidia, Andreessen Horowitz and Lightspeed Venture Partners among its investors. Sign in to access your portfolio
