TrueLayer surpasses 15 million customers
TrueLayer, Europe's fastest growing Pay by Bank provider, has surpassed 15 million active users in its consumer network, marking a significant industry milestone in the adoption of Pay by Bank in Europe. 0 With a new user now joining every 3 seconds, this rapid adoption reflects the rising demand for faster, safer and more cost-effective payments - cementing Pay by Bank's role in reshaping the payments landscape. Major European brands, including Papa Johns, Ryanair and Just Eat Takeaway, have recently integrated TrueLayer's Pay by Bank solution into their checkouts, reflecting a broader shift amongst merchants towards next-generation payment infrastructure. For these businesses, Pay by Bank delivers a superior secure payment experience whilst creating a resilient checkout not reliant on traditional card-based systems. To date, TrueLayer has processed more than $10 billion in payments in April and its platform accounts for almost half (47%) of all UK Pay by Bank transactions. This milestone reflects growing consumer demand for simple, secure ways to pay online without card details. In the UK, Pay by Bank transactions have more than tripled in the past three years, reaching over a remarkable 31 million monthly payments in March 2025. This surge in usage underscores the increasing consumer demand for payment methods that eliminate the need for card details, reduce fraud and deliver instant payment confirmation. By bypassing traditional card networks, customers and merchants alike avoid unnecessary fees while benefiting from faster, more secure transactions. For merchants, Pay by Bank offers a faster, lower-cost alternative to card payments - delivering instant settlement and reduced fraud both of which support healthier cash flow. As more consumers adopt and continue to use Pay by Bank, benefiting from more tailored experiences, merchants in return benefit from increased conversion rates and cost savings. Francesco Simoneschi, Co-Founder and CEO of TrueLayer, added: 'We're not just watching the payments industry evolve - we're driving it. Hitting 15 million active users shows that consumers want payments to be as simple and secure as possible. As our user base grows, merchants are recognising the undeniable value of Pay by Bank, reducing their costs and improving their customer experience. This milestone is just the beginning and we remain committed to broadening the scope of Pay by Bank across new verticals and enhancing its capabilities to solve real-world challenges.'

TrueLayer enters the gaming market
TrueLayer, Europe's leading Pay by Bank network, today announced a landmark partnership with Tebex, the growth and monetisation platform for game studios and private game servers. 0 The agreement marks TrueLayer's first client in the video gaming industry, opening a new growth channel for Pay by Bank and an indicator of the future of game monetisation. With over 30,000 creators and more than $1 billion in global sales processed, Tebex is the infrastructure behind the microtransaction economies of some of the world's most successful gaming companies, including highly-popular Minecraft game servers Wynncraft, Hypixel and Rockstar Studio through their FiveM role playing servers. By integrating TrueLayer's Pay by Bank solution into its platform, Tebex will offer gamers a fast, safe, and convenient way to pay, while ensuring studios and creators get paid faster and more securely. 'We're here to give creators the infrastructure they need to scale sustainably, and payments are a huge part of that. With TrueLayer's Pay by Bank, we're removing friction, slashing fees, and helping studios and creators get paid faster and more securely. It's a win for players too, because it means fewer steps, no redirects, and a checkout experience that simply works,' commented Liam Wiltshire, Head of Payments & Compliance (Tebex), Overwolf. Tebex has added Truelayer's Pay by Bank technology to its checkout in UK, Germany, France, Belgium and Spain, giving studios and server hosts in these markets a high-converting, low-cost payment option for their web stores. With TrueLayer's Pay by Bank solution, players can pay directly from their bank in a few taps, with no card fees, chargebacks, or redirects. Powering the Next Evolution in Game Monetisation In 2024 alone, the global gaming industry spent $187.7 billion, and is expected to reach $213.3 billion in 2027 [1]. Yet traditional payment methods struggle to keep up. Cards can fail, chargebacks are a constant threat to creators and studios, and hidden fees eat into margins for both studios and server owners. By contrast, TrueLayer's Pay by Bank brings: • A digital-native payment experience: An instant and digital experience - with no need for a physical card - meets the UX expectation of modern gamers. • Lower fees: No card networks, no intermediaries, no surprises. • Reduced fraud: Every payment is bank-authenticated and SCA-compliant by design. 'Gaming is a cultural force and a commerce juggernaut — and it's a perfect fit for Pay by Bank,' said Ben Morris, TrueLayer's Commercial Lead. 'Tebex is the gold standard for game monetisation, and we're thrilled to help power the next chapter of growth for their creators.
