Founded in Germany,
Built for Europe

We believe in the future of bank payments for online merchants in Europe. Net Money is on a mission to make that happen.

The Problem We Set Out to Solve

For years, European merchants had to navigate a fragmented payment landscape shaped by card schemes, wallets, bank transfers, and local payment methods. Transactions were often expensive, settlement could take days, and fraud and chargebacks remained a constant burden.

Net Money was established to fix that. We built a secure and fully automated account-to-account payment platform from scratch. One that not only abstracts away the complexity of all European banks and handles SCA flows natively, but also one that settles via SEPA Instant on the same day.

Open banking payment flow
We want to make account-to-account payments the default payment method across Europe, replacing cards with something faster, cheaper, and built on open standards.
