What it is

PayU Global Payments provides online payment processing and orchestration for merchants selling across markets. Its platform combines a payment gateway and processing, with acquiring bank services available in some markets. Merchants can connect to hundreds of local and global methods, including cards, digital wallets, online bank transfers, QR payments, deferred payments, local schemes and other alternatives. It supports local settlement, multi-currency handling and more than 20 transaction and payout currencies. The Smart Routing Engine uses criteria set by the merchant to route transactions, with the aim of optimizing approvals and fees. Instant Retry can send a declined transaction through another provider to help recover false declines. A shared dashboard shows approval rates and other metrics, compares methods and providers, and supports account management, reports, analysis and audits. Tokenization encrypts payment data and can reduce a merchant’s PCI scope. PayU describes itself as a PCI Level 1-certified processor and says it supports 3D Secure 2.0. Merchants can set up global payments through one API. Pricing is available by contacting PayU.
