Skaleet and BPCE Payment Services join forces to offer an integrated payment services proposition to financial institutions

BPCE Payment Services, the payments operator of Groupe BPCE specialising in card processing and payment flows, and Skaleet, a SaaS provider of next-generation core banking solutions, are strengthening their collaboration to provide fintech Payment Institutions (PIs) / Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs) and banks with faster, simpler and more secure access to their banking and payment services. This notably includes access to the SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) system and to BPCE Payment Services’ card processing capabilities.

A proven partnership serving financial institutions

This partnership enables financial institutions (banks or PIs/EMIs) to accelerate their setup thanks to the tried-and-tested integration of BPCE Payment Services’ payment services (SCT, SCT-Inst, SDD and card processing) into Skaleet’s technology platform.

Skaleet and BPCE Payment Services have already demonstrated the complementarity of their offerings by contributing to major projects for shared clients:

• Implementing instant SEPA payments for fintech Score&Secure Payment, enabling compliance with evolving European regulations on instant payments;
• Providing technological support to Niupay, the first digital bank in French Polynesia, which has disrupted the local market by delivering a modern vision and easier access to financial products through the combination of our services;
• Supporting Caisse d’Epargne Hauts de France, which, as part of its expansion into the Benelux region, established a branch dedicated to large corporates in the Netherlands.

“This partnership with BPCE Payment Services strengthens our ability to offer our clients a ‘turnkey’ approach, where European banking and payment services are already pre-integrated into our platform. Rather than having to assemble the building blocks themselves, financial institutions can rely on a complete solution designed to meet their specific challenges in France and across Europe. With a major player like BPCE Payment Services by our side, we bring not only connectivity, but also a simplified and accelerated experience for our clients,” said Martin Della Chiesa, CEO of Skaleet.

“BPCE Payment Services supports fintechs and banks in their growth and development by managing, as a regulated entity, the processing of their card transactions and payment flows. This partnership with Skaleet allows us to offer them a more integrated and flexible solution, while bringing our expertise, particularly our ability to process high volumes within a secure framework,” added Carine André, Deputy CEO of BPCE Payment Services.
