Banking Circle is helping Novalnet to efficiently support its global clientele with local and cross border settlement at competitive rates and with faster reconciliation to help online merchants manage and maintain cashflow.

Novalnet was created to tackle the countless payment pain points encountered by online businesses: payment fraud and resulting chargeback, the convoluted customer journey, processing errors, drop in conversion rates, cart abandonments, high transaction fees, lack of technical support, long binding contracts with PSPs and other service providers, to name a few.

Through its single integration, providing a comprehensive solution focused purely on customer need, Novalnet is resolving these challenges. It provides flexibility to clients by offering customised services fulfilling all payment requirements. These include payment processing of national and international payment methods, real-time fraud prevention and risk management, automated invoicing, subscription and member management, integrated marketplace solutions, claims management and simple reporting. Payment modules for 100+ shop systems/CMS have been designed to be easy to use, and to create a secure and seamless payment journey resulting in higher conversion rates for Novalnet customers.

Through Banking Circle, Novalnet can offer like-for-like settlement in 24 currencies, avoiding double conversions that reduce the payment value through multiple conversions and FX mark ups. Leveraging Banking Circle Real-time FX, Novalnet is also increasing its FX margins and reducing the inevitable overheads of managing multiple international banking partners.
