Payment technology is a system that digitally coordinates financial transactions between two parties using APIs. This is referred to as an electronic payment which can be facilitated via Payment Service Providers (PSPs).
“Payment service providers are an important part of the payment ecosystem. For any business that wants to deliver a simple payment experience to their customers” says Rob Keating of Go Cardless (Keating, Rob. “What is a PSP (payment service provider).” A PSP is a third-party merchant that helps accept payments by connecting them to a bigger financial infrastructure, in other words, a payment gateway.
Paytech is the future of online payments. For insurers the advantages of payment technologies are undeniable; faster, more secure, and all done quickly via a PSP, saving resources overall
During the pandemic, everyone was forced to go online. Businesses had to adjust to fulfill the new needs and wants of their customers, insurers were no exception. After many years of legacy systems fighting the change, Covid-19 brought no option; it was digitise or die.
The insurance industry became quickly aware of the need to digitise to keep a competitive edge and keep hold of loyal clients and customers. By updating payments, infrastructure, and workflows, insurers will find themselves on the upper hand of operational efficiencies leading to a business prepared for any shifts in the marketplace.
Insurance distribution has not moved very far from legacy systems. With the demand increasing drastically for digital adaption – not only from the end-customer but also from clients of Briisk – direct digital distribution is key to being part of the future of insurance.
APIs are a set of functions allowing applications and platforms to interact with external sources such as software components, operating systems, and payment technology. With antiquated ways of doing still present, APIs offer a bridge between legacy systems and paytech solutions, while the move to completely digital is still in motion. Briisk makes use of APIs by integrating with PSPs and PAS which leads to the smooth creation of insurance products through the Briisk Instant Transaction Platform.
“The secret to easily overcoming all these challenges is finding an industry-specialised and highly experienced partner.” says OneInc (The OneInc Content Team. “6 challenges to digital payment adoption”).
