Wirecard is collaborating with WHSmith. The two companies are working together to expand WHSmith's digital payment acceptance capabilities for e-commerce as well as at the POS, thus furthering the retailer's digital journey. By collaboration with Wirecard, WHSmith is further improving its service to consumers both nationally and internationally by enabling smooth and flexible payment acceptance and processing.

Wirecard and WHSmith are launching their e-commerce collaboration by enabling the retailer to process payments made using Mastercard's Pay by Bank App. Pay by Bank App is an online checkout option that lets customers pay using the bank app on their phone, making online checkout easier since the payment takes place from the user's own bank app. As a result, users do not need to disclose payment details, create new accounts or logins, or remember additional passwords.

Customers benefit from an easy and seamless checkout experience, and as the solution already enables strong customer authentication, it is PSD2 compliant.
