Trustly
Updated this week

Trustly provides the ability to make online payments directly from your bank account in a secure way. In addition to allowing for quick and easy payments, no sign-up or software installation is required.

Trustly is a licensed payment institution authorized and supervised by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority. It holds a European Payment Services Provider (PSP) license under the Payment Services Directive. A Trustly payment uses strong two-factor authentication.

➡️ Key benefits of offering Trustly as a payment method are:

  • Availability: 525 million consumers reached, 6.3 thousand connected banks

  • Flexibility: There is no need for users to carry bank cards

  • Easy to use: Customers experience a seamless and secure experience within a Trustly-hosted site

  • Get started quickly: There is no need for the merchant to have an account with Trustly

How it works

Steps:

  1. At the checkout, the customer chooses Trustly as their preferred payment method:

  2. The customer is then redirected to a Trustly-hosted bank selector page:

  3. Before proceeding with the payment, the consumer has the option to save their details for future purchases:

  4. The consumer continues to the bank authentication page:

  5. On the bank page, the consumer grants access to their bank before the payment is initiated:

  6. They authenticate via SCA:

  7. Access to the bank is confirmed and the consumer redirects back to Trustly:

  8. On the Trustly page, the consumer continues with the payment:

  9. They redirect to their bank where they see the payment details and confirm the payment:

  10. They authorize the payment using SCA:

  11. The payment is confirmed and the consumer is redirected to the merchant’s page:
