The new challenger proposition was created at fintech speed, powered by Pismo's cloud-native platform

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Visa and Pismo have teamed up with ABN AMRO to power BUUT's challenger card targeted at Gen Z consumers. BUUT's debit card was created in just 10 weeks using Pismo's cloud-native platform, demonstrating how traditional financial institutions can move at fintech speed when powered by the right technology partner.

While BUUT led the proposition with deep customer insight and regulatory expertise, Pismo's cloud native platform enabled the rapid build of a seamless debit card experience built for a digital-first generation.

"Our work with BUUT is a powerful example of what's possible when banks and technology partners come together with a shared vision," said Mandy Lamb, Visa Europe's Head of Value-Added Services. "In just 10 weeks, ABN AMRO has launched a proposition that could rival the best of fintech. This is the future of banking– collaborative, agile, and built around the customer."

"This project shows that banks don't need to choose between security and speed. With the right partners, they can have both. And in a world where customer expectations are shaped by the best digital experiences – not just in banking, but across every industry – that's not just a competitive advantage. It's a necessity."

Hein Ter Braak, Head of BUUT, said: "With BUUT, we aim to build the most financially confident and healthy generation ever. That's why we didn't waste any time and launched as quickly as possible. The timelines and collaboration with Visa and Pismo aligned perfectly with ours, making a swift release possible!"

The collaboration reflects interest among banks to consider API-based, cloud-native infrastructure, such as Pismo, to cater for the expectations of digital-first consumers.

This milestone also underscores Visa's capabilities and expertise beyond traditional payment credentials to empower financial institutions to innovate faster and smarter through its value-added services. As the financial landscape continues to evolve, Visa remains focused on helping its clients stay ahead through digital payments and open banking solutions that protect transactions for European consumers and merchants.

• The partnerships will enable smart, easy and secure eCommerce experience for consumers and merchants across the region

SINGAPORE, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Visa, a global leader in digital payments, has announced today the expansion of Click to Pay across Asia Pacific through strategic partnerships with payment enablers 2C2P, Adyen, AsiaPay, and Worldpay.

Click to Pay offers a smart, seamless, and secure online checkout experience. By allowing customers to retrieve their saved, tokenised payment details using a mobile number or email alias, Click to Pay eliminates the need to manually enter card information.

This express checkout experience helps reduce cart abandonment - often as high as 84%^[1] in eCommerce, by eliminating complex logins and streamlining the user journey. Additionally, as Click to Pay transactions are tokenised, merchants benefit from improved security and experience an average uplift of 2.5%^[2] in payment success rates.

Browser- and device-agnostic, Click to Pay supports biometric authentication through payment passkeys for enhanced security, making eCommerce transactions as convenient as contactless payments. 

This rollout is part of Visa's broader efforts to enhance eCommerce checkout experience, especially in the Asia Pacific region where mobile phone ownership is high and digital payments are ubiquitous. Consumers shop and pay with their mobile phones wherever they are and want to feel safe when they are shopping online^[3].

Personal information is tokenised and securely stored by Visa. This addresses the concerns of 83% of consumers who express worry about data security when saving their information on third-party websites^[4].

T.R. Ramachandran, Head of Products and Solutions, Asia Pacific, Visa, said, "Visa is accelerating the rollout of Click to Pay to simplify the eCommerce checkout experience across Asia Pacific. Through strategic collaborations with 2C2P, Adyen, AsiaPay, and Worldpay, we are helping merchants increase sales, banks to deepen customer engagement, and consumers enjoy quicker, secure checkouts."

This regional effort builds on Visa's recent launch with ZA Bank in Hong Kong, the first issuer in Asia Pacific to enable Click to Pay as a standard feature for cardholders. Click to Pay is also live in Vietnam, enabling Techcombank and VPBank Visa cardholders to enjoy seamless online shopping experiences with participating merchants.

These expanding partnerships highlight a growing demand among issuers, payment enablers and merchants in the region for prioritising smart, seamless, and secure checkouts to increase customer satisfaction with better online shopping experience.
