The challenge

What this sector deals with today.

Credit unions and lenders offer their members savings products and loans — but increasingly, members expect their financial services to work like modern payment accounts: instant disbursements, real-time balances and cards they can use anywhere. Delivering that experience from legacy infrastructure takes time, cost and regulatory overhead that most lenders cannot easily absorb.

Without embedded-finance infrastructure, loan disbursements are manual transfers, repayments arrive to a pooled account that requires reconciling by hand each month, and members have no dedicated IBAN for incoming payments. The result is a member experience that lags behind market expectations, and an operational overhead that grows with every new member.

Onboarding · Accounts · Cards

Every member onboarded, issued an account and ready to transact.

Members complete ID&V via a link — on any device, in minutes. On approval, a payment account, virtual IBAN and optional debit card are issued automatically. No manual data entry, no back-office bottleneck.

  • ID&V onboarding link sent by SMS or email — members complete checks on their own device

  • Payment account and dedicated IBAN issued on approval — available immediately

  • Optional debit card issued instantly as a virtual card, physical card dispatched same day

  • Full onboarding audit trail per member — evidence logged for every check performed

  • Each repayment auto-matched to the member and the loan account via IBAN

  • Missed or late payments flagged immediately — no month-end discovery

Compliance & evidence

Every credit union and lending capability runs under governed, audit-ready controls.

Payscape operates Control Cloud — our own governed compliance environment. We author, version-control, test and deploy every compliance rule ourselves; the configuration is never outsourced. Every account event, IBAN assignment, transfer and transaction is recorded with its compliance context — screening status, monitoring outcome and the version of the rule Payscape applied — so you can show your working to a regulator, auditor or investor at any point.

  • Payscape version-controls every rule — every change reviewed, approved and deployed by us

  • Audit trail per event — not just the transaction but the compliance decision

  • Safeguarding reconciled daily — client funds matched and confirmed automatically

  • Reporting out of the box — pre-built statements and extracts in standard formats
