Optty Partners With GoCardless to Bring Global Bank Payments to Australian Businesses

Bank payment company GoCardless has announced a partnership with Optty, a payments API platform, to help medium and large businesses in Australia to simplify their payment processes, operate more efficiently, and scale with ease.

This will allow customers to collect bank payments directly within the Optty platform, without the need to build their own integration or manage multiple providers. As a result, merchants can easily collect recurring payments around the world through GoCardless, with Direct Debit in over 20 countries and 7 currencies. 

Kyle Willersdorf, Account Director, Australia and New Zealand at GoCardless, said: “We’re excited to bring our global bank payment network to our joint customers, enabling them to grow their top line without growing their costs or admin. With this integration, customers can avoid the headaches of managing multiple providers to save time, reduce costs, and open up new opportunities.”

Steven Ritchie,  Interim CEO of Optty, said: “GoCardless is a pioneer in the payments industry, a company that embodies payments innovation driven by the needs of their merchants. This is a core pillar shared with Optty’s strategy and why we've partnered with GoCardless: together we can help businesses simplify their payments in a way that meets their ever-evolving needs. Because Optty is a global payments infrastructure platform, we want to support and grow the demand for adaptable and cost-effective payment solutions. This collaboration ensures our joint partners and merchants will always have access to cutting-edge solutions through two platforms with global reach."
