Salt Edge Payment Initiation enables account-to-account payments from bank accounts through open banking connectivity. One API integration supports payments from more than 2,700 banks across Europe and the UK.

Salt Edge says instant payments run 24/7 and usually finish within seconds. Listed uses include e-commerce, e-wallet top-ups, loan repayments, corporate payments, and travel settlements and refunds. Corporate workflows can use recurrent, scheduled, bulk, and batch payments, with standardized templates for bank and regional requirements.
