Some gateway providers hold on to your funds for up to 30 days, but we settle your funds within 3 days (sometimes even next day).

Unlike most payment providers, Opayo doesn’t charge any extras for fraud prevention. We provide advanced fraud screening tools that can be tailored to your business to help you minimise loses to fraud. This includes:

• Transactions go through a leading fraud prevention provider for security checks
• Real-time AVS/CV2 checks - address and security code match
• 3D Secure authentication (with Visa, MasterCard)
• American Express SafeKey
• Additional transaction checks that include Postal Address File (PAF) checks

If unsure about a transaction, you can call our fraud team 24/7, 365 days a year for advice. We are PCI DSS Level 1 compliant, meaning we adhere to the highest security standards set by Visa and MasterCard.

Some payment providers are in difficult financial situations, either private equity owned with a focus on fast profits, or backed by funding rounds – and not making a profit. You don’t want to find one day that your provider has gone out of business.
