What it is
Volt provides businesses with real-time account-to-account payments, connecting domestic instant-payment systems into one service. Its offerings include instant payments, refunds, payouts, Volt Accounts, virtual IBANs, Circuit Breaker, Transformer and Verify. Merchants can send payment links or QR codes through email, SMS, chatbots and invoices. Integration options include hosted checkout, API-only access and mobile SDKs; listed e-commerce integrations include Shopify, Prestashop, Shopware, Adobe Commerce and WooCommerce. Plugins are available for Shopify, Shopware and Adobe Commerce, with other platform support available through its support team. Volt lists 1,900 connected banks, 10 payment rails and 12 currencies, and its homepage states coverage of 2,500 banks, 31 territories and 618 million accounts. Payouts are available in the EU, UK and Australia, but are disabled by default and may have business-specific limits. Funds are safeguarded through segregation under UK and Polish licensing; Volt says this is not deposit protection. Pricing is on request. Apps and access are listed for Android, iOS, web and API.
