Broadband and mobile provider Virgin Media and O2 (VMO2) has today signed a new partnership that will see them adopting Trustly’s “next-generation” Direct Debit account automation and one-off Pay by Bank solutions. The goal is to streamline payments and onboarding processes as part of the UK operator’s commitment to “making customers’ lives easier“.
Granted, this isn’t exactly one of the most exciting developments to cover, so we’ll keep it short. Trustly’s new payments technology is expected to be integrated over the “coming months“. The new Direct Debit account automation with Pay by Bank should make it faster to sign-up for VMO2’s services, while one-off Pay by Bank payments will simplify customer payment processes and deliver a seamless connection to their bank accounts via Open Banking services.
Christian Hindennach, Chief Commercial Officer at VMO2, said: “We’ve been making real progress with our plans to improve the service we offer our customers over recent months … This partnership with Trustly will do exactly that – providing our customers with quick and secure ways to sign up and even simpler payment options to access our services, and ensuring we remain at the forefront of digital innovation.”
