Bank payments, one tap

Customers pay directly from their bank account with a single biometric tap. No redirects, no intermediaries. Funds land straight in your account.

The problem

Pay-by-bank has an experience problem

Traditional open banking payments force users through bank redirects, clunky logins, and app-switching. Drop-off rates hit 60%. Meanwhile, Apple Pay and Google Pay let users pay with a single tap.

As long as tokenized wallets exist, nobody will voluntarily endure a PSD2 redirect. GiroTap brings bank payments up to that gold standard.

Direct settlement

No intermediary between you and your money

Traditional payment processors sit in the middle holding your funds, taking a cut, batching settlements. With GiroTap, you debit the customer directly via SEPA Direct Debit.

Funds flow from their account to yours. No rolling reserves. No settlement delays. No interchange fees. Just money, moving.

Account intelligence

Know every account before you debit it

Every linked bank account comes with open banking data. Before you pull a single euro, you see the full picture: is this a primary account? Has it been active? Are the funds there?

No more blindly debiting an IBAN that could be fraudulent, dormant, or empty. GiroTap gives you the lineage and intelligence to debit with confidence.

How it works

Set up once. Pay everywhere.

Customers create a GiroTap credential once biometric verification plus passkey. Then every future payment at any merchant is a single tap.

01

Create credential

Biometric liveness check and passkey creation. Device-bound, phishing-resistant. Takes 30 seconds, done once.

02

Link bank account

Connect via open banking. We verify IBAN ownership through PSD2 SCA and ingest account intelligence data.

03

Tap to pay

At any GiroTap merchant, a single biometric tap signs the mandate with a device-bound passkey. Under 3 seconds.

04

Funds arrive

SEPA Direct Debit pulls funds from customer to merchant. No middlemen, no settlement batching. Direct.

Chargeback defense

Every transaction is court-ready

SEPA gives consumers 8 weeks to reverse authorized debits and 13 months for unauthorized claims. GiroTap seals cryptographic proof at the moment of consent.

  • Auto-generated demand letters citing biometric and cryptographic evidence
  • Exportable PDF evidence bundles for legal proceedings
  • Deterrence text shown at signing customers know the evidence trail exists
  • Automated escalation to collection with statutory interest
