TrueLayer, the Open Banking platform, has announced a partnership with Irish payments firm StrikePay.

StrikePay’s instant payment terminal uses NFC and QR code technology to enable its users to tap to pay with any phone, without the need for any other hardware.

The partnership means StrikePay is now powered by Open Banking, and its users will now be able to connect and verify their bank accounts with TrueLayer’s data API.

“We’re excited to be continuing a trend of FinTech innovation in Ireland, bringing Open Banking technology to tipping and payments,” said Oli Cavanagh, chief executive of StrikePay. “We’re on a mission to make it easier for people to get paid instantly by anyone with just a phone, and this partnership with TrueLayer helps us to make the process more seamless for our customers.”

Cavanagh added: “Working with TrueLayer we now have an instant and reliable way for customers to connect and verify their bank accounts, which is better for our customers and for our support team who have less errors to deal with.”
