Intelligent routing of payments
Payment transactions can be routed automatically in the event of individual PSP failures or where legitimate customer payments have failed. Payments can also be routed based on bespoke business rules. Optimise payment success rates and turnover in the most cost effective way.
Connect third party applications
Bridge provides a common point of connection to link with third party applications such as reconciliation tools, enterprise fraud management or foreign exchange providers, to automate business processes and improve financial control and performance.
Consolidate platforms
When payments are orchestrated via a single platform, you are better equipped to consolidate and standardise e-commerce channels and back end processes. Creating operational efficiencies and giving customers a continuity of experience on different platforms and at different touch points.
Brand the customer experiences
Bridge offers Merchants the ability to customise checkout pages to fit their brand as opposed to accepting the branding of various different payment providers, delivering a common brand experience right through the payment process on every digital channel.
Moving tokenisation to the enterprise level, rather than at the transactional level allows Merchants to better meet their customers needs and retain better control their own data.
From outage
to opportunity
If your key digital channels are connected to PSPs on a direct 1:1 connection, any outage can mean lost revenue and customer dissatisfaction.
Additionally, inconsistent fraud and security protocols across multiple different payment providers can mean legitimate payments may be blocked, leading again to lost revenue.
Flexible payment routing through Bridge enables a continuous flow of payments, and consistency across fraud management means business keeps on moving. The goal of Bridge is always; 100% of the payments 100% of the time.
Think Global
Pay Local
It is increasingly necessary for enterprises expanding their international footprint to offer their customers the local payment methods they know and trust,
Integrating and reporting such a complex web of market specific payment providers leads to inconsistency of approach and increased reporting risks alongside unnecessary complexity.
Leading in turn to incremental operational overheads and costs.
Orchestrating multiple providers via Bridge to creates a personalised and corporately consistent process. Wherever your customers are and whatever they are buying.
All of this with better control and and lower costs.
From confusion
to clarity
The exponential growth of online businesses often leads to fragmented interactions, and a lack of clarity on the full customer journey. That means missing out on valuable and insightful data on your customers.
Integrating or changing providers used to be costly and complex. Bridge brings transparency across channels. Quickly.
From expense
to enabler
When payment flows are kept in silos, it is difficult to build a holistic picture of volumes, velocity, performance and cost. This knowledge is vital in negotiating the terms for any incoming payment provider.
Bridge payment orchestration demonstrates real commercial value from the start, in giving a commercially strong negotiating position alongside the operational benefits of automation, accuracy and efficiency.
From separate
to secure
With different PSPs providing different fraud management services, it is a challenge to create a common fraud management strategy at enterprise level.
By streamlining payment transactions via Bridge, and applying a common strategy to all channels, companies can set their own bespoke fraud and failure parameters. One’s that suit your business rather than your PSP.
