Stripe and TrueLayer to introduce Pay by Bank in Germany and France
0
This product builds on the successful partnership between Stripe and TrueLayer in the UK, where Pay by Bank has revolutionised payments for both merchants and customers.
By offering a direct Pay by Bank payment method, Stripe is streamlining the checkout experience for French and German businesses, improving conversion rates and significantly reducing transaction fees. With Pay by Bank payments consumers bypass entering card details and instead authorise payment directly from their bank accounts, typically via biometric methods.
Stripe's Pay by Bank product leverages TrueLayer's open banking infrastructure, which connects to bank accounts across Europe. The Stripe x TrueLayer integration in France and Germany follows growing consumer adoption of Pay by Bank in both countries, where major businesses such as Ryanair have launched the payment method and introduced it to consumers. Pay by Bank payments within the European Union are expected to reach 30 billion in 2028 [1], and Germany and France - Europe's largest economies - will be a key driver of this growth.
Key Benefits of Pay by Bank for French and German businesses:
• Reduced Payment Fees: With Pay by Bank, businesses can avoid card processing fees, leading to lower overall transaction costs.
• Faster Transactions: Payments are processed in real-time, helping merchants to improve cash flow and reduce payment delays.
• Enhanced Security: Pay by Bank leverages secure, bank-approved authentication, using biometric authentication to verify transactions.
• Improved Conversion Rates: With a seamless and familiar payment method, consumers are more likely to complete transactions, improving merchants' sales outcomes.
The France and Germany launches build on Truelayer's success in these markets. The two countries are TrueLayer's largest markets outside of the UK, with on the ground presence in each country and a growing customer base including local and international businesses.
• Annually, TrueLayer processes €2bn in Pay by Bank transactions in France and €1.4bn in Germany.
• In France and Germany, TrueLayer processes approximately 60% and 30% of all Pay by Bank transactions, respectively.
• French and German merchants see an average 42% uplift in conversion from consumers in the TrueLayer Pay by Bank network.
In France and Germany, the Pay by Bank integration will soon be available to all Stripe users. The integration process is simple, and businesses can begin offering this payment option to customers immediately via Stripe's payment platform.
Sebastian Vetter, TrueLayer's Country Manager Germany, added: 'Having seen the success of Stripe's TrueLayer integration in other markets, we are thrilled to bring this innovative payment solution to Germany and France. By leveraging TrueLayer's open banking infrastructure, we're enabling German and French businesses to accept payments directly from bank accounts, making transactions faster, safer, and more affordable.'

Truth as Arsenal star splits with agent to spark new twist in Rodrygo deal saga
Arsenal forward Leandro Trossard has this week split with his long-standing representative to sign with DH Sports and Entertainment Agency Leandro Trossard's split from his agent Josy Comhair is not directly linked to his uncertain Arsenal future. The Belgian winger has now signed with German-based DH Sports and Entertainment Agency, sparking speculation he's actively seeking a move away from the Emirates. However, Mirror Football understands Trossard mutually agreed to part company with long-standing representative Comhair, who is battling health problems. The separation was totally amicable even though Comhair had been leading negotiations with Arsenal over a potential contract extension. Trossard's current deal in north London runs until the summer of 2026 but it's understood Arsenal hold a one-year extension option the club can formally trigger. The 30-year-old wants to stay at Arsenal but so far, talks over fresh terms have stalled and failed to reach a positive conclusion to date. Discussions have been centred around a pay-rise and were not certain to include an extension of the length of Trossard's contract but no agreement has been reached thus far. It's understood suitable offers for Trossard may yet be considered this summer, should they land on the table because there has been no breakthrough between the parties. Arsenal are firm admirers of Real Madrid's Rodrygo and are aware the Brazilian could yet be available this summer for the right price as he has struggled for minutes at the Club World Cup under Xabi Alonso. But in order to facilitate that deal - plus the potential capture of Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze and a top-class centre-forward - there might yet need to be a notable sale come the end of the window. Financially, Arsenal remain in good stead and are not currently at risk of breaching PSR regulations but they will need to ratify some departures for the sake of their future financial records if they're to continue spending notable cash. Sources have indicated there is still active Saudi Pro League interest in Trossard, who was the subject of a rejected verbal offer from Al-Ittihad last summer, and there have also been tentative enquiries from Europe, namely Italy and Turkey, in recent weeks. But at this stage, Arsenal are yet to receive any concrete proposals for the player and he still remains part of Mikel Arteta's plans for the forthcoming campaign. Trossard struck 10 goals and 10 assists in 56 appearances in all competitions last season and his availability and versatility is regarded as a huge asset at the Emirates. Comhair had represented Trossard since he broke into the senior setup at Genk but relations between the pair remain full of respect, according to sources.

Lyon ‘must find £172MILLION to stop relegation from Ligue 1' as Crystal Palace nervously wait for Europa League decision
LYON have been slapped with a £172million cash demand to avoid relegation to Ligue 2 - as Crystal Palace's Europa League hopes hang in the balance. French financial watchdogs have warned the seven-time Ligue 1 champions that they must balance their books fast or face being forcibly demoted to Ligue 2. Advertisement 5 John Textor owns Lyon but has shares in Crystal Palace too 5 Steve Parish has been working round the clock to ensure his Crystal Palace play in Europe Credit: PA 5 Crystal Palace defied the odds to win the FA Cup last season Credit: GETTY Lyon, who qualified for the Europa League on the pitch last season, are on the brink of an administrative meltdown. According to L'Equipe, a probe by the Direction Nationale du Controle de Gestion (DNCG) found a giant hole in their finances. If they fail to plug the £172million black hole, Lyon's relegation from Ligue 1 will not be overturned, piling on the misery for fans of the former giants. And the chaos in France could have a ripple effect across the Channel, with Crystal Palace sweating on a potential Europa League reprieve.

John Textor, who owns Lyon through his Eagle Football Group, is selling his 43 per cent share in Palace to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson. If the French club are successful with their appeal, Palace are likely to be demoted to the Conference League, although they could challenge the decision at CAS. However, the Eagles will most likely keep their Europa League spot if Lyon are unable to raise the £172million and lose their appeal. Advertisement BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Palace bosses have been in talks with UEFA's Club Financial Control Body to try and find a solution to the situation. But a verdict from the governing body has been put on ice pending the outcome of Lyon's relegation appeal.

Moroccan defender Chadi Riad, who ruptured his cruciate ligament, is also back running, although it is unclear if he will be ready to go straight into the team for the start of next season. The potential return of the duo could serve as a major boost to manager Oliver Glasner, who is looking to build on last season's success. The Eagles finished 12th in the league last season but won the FA Cup — their first ever major trophy. Advertisement 5 Cheick Doucoure missed a large part of last season due to injury Credit: Reuters

Ryanair urges EU chief to 'quit' over air traffic strike disruption
The boss of Ryanair has told Sky News the president of the European Commission should "quit" if she can't stop disruption caused by repeated French air traffic control strikes. Michael O'Leary, the group chief executive of Europe's largest airline by passenger numbers, said in an interview with Business Live that Ursula von der Leyen had failed to get to grips, at an EU level, with interruption to overflights following several recent disputes in France. The latest action began on Thursday and is due to conclude later today, forcing thousands of flights to be delayed and cancelled through French airspace closures. Mr O'Leary told presenter Darren McCaffrey that French domestic flights were given priority during ATC strikes and other nations, including Italy and Greece, had solved the problem through minimum service legislation. He claimed that the vast majority of flights, cancelled over two days of action that began on Thursday, would have been able to operate under similar rules. Mr O'Leary said of the EU's role: "We continue to call on Ursula von der Leyen - why are you not protecting these overflights, why is the single market for air travel being disrupted by a tiny number of French air traffic controllers? "All we get is a shrug of their shoulders and 'there's nothing we can do'. We point out, there is." He added: "We are calling on Ursula von der Leyen, who preaches about competitiveness and reforming Europe, if you're not willing to protect or fix overflights then quit and let somebody more effective do the job." The strike is estimated, by the Airlines for Europe lobby group to have led to at least 1,500 cancelled flights, leaving 300,000 travellers unable to make their journeys. Ryanair itself had axed more than 400 flights so far, Mr O'Leary said. Rival easyJet said on Thursday that it had cancelled 274 services over the two days. The beginning of July marks the start of the European summer holiday season. The French civil aviation agency DGAC had already told airlines to cancel 40% of flights covering the three main Paris airports on Friday ahead of the walkout - a dispute over staffing levels and equipment quality. Mr O'Leary described those safety issues as "nonsense" and said twhile the controllers had a right to strike, they did not have the right to close the sky. DGAC has warned of delays and further severe disruption heading into the weekend. Many planes and crews will be out of position. Mr O'Leary is not alone in expressing his frustration. The French transport minister Philippe Tabarot has denounced the action and the reasons for it. "The idea is to disturb as many people as possible," he said in an interview with CNews. Passengers are being advised that if your flight is cancelled, the airline must either give you a refund or book you on an alternative flight. If you have booked a return flight and the outbound leg is cancelled, you can claim the full cost of the return ticket back from your airline.
