Boca Raton, Florida (November 5, 2026) \u2013 Segpay, a leading global provider of digital payment processing, has announced the expansion of its Pay by Bank service to a total of eight European markets. The payment method, previously available in the United Kingdom and Germany, is now also available in Belgium, Finland, France, Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Pay by Bank, customers can pay directly from their bank account \u2013 without using a credit or debit card. The service is powered by TrueLayer and uses real-time payment networks such as SEPA Instant in the European Union and Faster Payments in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Customers simply select their bank and approve the payment in their banking app, usually via Face ID or fingerprint. No card details need to be entered. Purchase confirmation is received within seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A key advantage: Because the payment is authorized directly through the customer\u2019s bank, traditional card-network chargebacks are eliminated. Refunds are still supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nCathy Beardsley, President and CEO of Segpay, emphasizes: \u201cNot every customer wants to pay with a credit card, and we want to make sure our merchants have options. Pay by Bank gives them another way to accept payments, without the chargeback concerns that come with traditional card transactions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Availability and Use Cases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Pay by Bank is currently available for one-time purchases in GBP and EUR. It supports Segpay\u2019s billing models One-Time, Digital Purchase and Dynamic Pricing. Recurring payments are not currently supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interested merchants can contact their Segpay Account Manager or reach out to the sales team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segpay: An Established Partner in the Adult Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Segpay (short for \u201cSegregated Payments\u201d) was founded in 2005 by Cathy Beardsley and has since established itself as one of the most important payment providers for high-risk and adult merchants. The company was one of the first Internet Payment Service Providers (IPSPs) to strictly separate merchants\u2019 funds from its own operating funds \u2013 under the motto \u201cYou get paid before we do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, Segpay serves thousands of sites worldwide, maintains locations in the USA, Ireland and the United Kingdom, and is regarded as a reliable partner especially in Europe. For many German adult portals, Segpay has been a key billing partner for years. The current expansion of Pay by Bank underscores the strategic focus on the European market and the growing demand for alternative payment methods beyond traditional credit cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The expansion to six additional countries gives European merchants \u2013 and thus many German providers with international reach \u2013 another powerful tool to increase conversion rates and minimize chargeback risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
