American Marconi Wireless News - ForumPay Expands Payment Infrastructure with New Card and Bank Transfer Acceptance Solution

ForumPay has recently announced a new payment flow that it says could meaningfully alter how payments are processed. Customers can now initiate purchases using any Visa or Mastercard and bank transfers in selected markets, with funds routed automatically through ForumPay's infrastructure. Merchants can now offer card and bank payments without registering as a card acceptance businesses, sidestepping chargeback liability and PCI-DSS compliance costs while still receiving precisely the amount invoiced. 

This latest ForumPay release represents one of the more ambitious developments yet to bridge the gap between traditional payment rails and crypto infrastructure. 

Built for Modern Payment Acceptance

Businesses increasingly want to offer customers greater flexibility at checkout, but additional payment methods tend to bring additional operational and cost burdens. Card acceptance, in particular, can introduce chargeback exposure, compliance requirements, fraud management responsibilities, and more complex settlement processes, challenges that only grow more acute for organizations operating across multiple markets.

ForumPay's innovative new payment flow is designed to solve these issues. Customers can initiate payments using any Visa, Mastercard, or bank transfer in selected markets, with those funds automatically used to purchase crypto and processed through ForumPay's existing crypto payment infrastructure, with all of the inherent features and benefits, and converted and settled as per the preferences a merchant has already established on their account. Merchants will receive exactly the amount invoiced. For example, if a customer is billed $100, then $100 is what arrives in the merchant's preferred bank account.

Critically, ForumPay will pass the additional card and bank transfer costs directly to the payer, meaning merchants pay only their usual crypto acceptance fees that would apply to any transaction processed through the platform. The approach allows businesses to expand the choice of available payment methods at checkout without taking on the compliance architecture, risks and costs that card acceptance would ordinarily require.

More Payment Options, the Same Operational Footprint 

Businesses increasingly want to offer customers greater flexibility at checkout, but incorporating additional payment methods tend to bring with it additional operational burdens. Card acceptance, in particular, can introduce chargeback exposure, compliance requirements, fraud management responsibilities, and more complex settlement processes, challenges that only grow more acute for organizations operating across multiple markets. 

ForumPay's new payment flow is being designed to address this friction. Customers will be able to initiate payments using any Visa, Mastercard, or bank transfer in selected markets. Those funds are then automatically used to purchase digital assets and processed through ForumPay's existing infrastructure, allowing merchants to continue receiving funds according to their established settlement preferences without having to overhaul their operations to accommodate the new options in the process. The approach, ForumPay says, allows businesses to expand what they can offer at checkout without taking on the compliance architecture that card acceptance would ordinarily require.
