MyBank now available on pagoPA Checkout and app IO

Present on Italy’s pagoPA platform since 2014, the MyBank payment method has recently been added to the desktop and mobile web applications of PagoPA S.p.A. This new integration allows citizens and businesses to enjoy an even faster and more intuitive payment experience, further simplifying payments to the Italian Public Administration through MyBank — the immediate confirmation, pre-filled, and irrevocable bank transfer.

Thanks to MyBank:

• Over 250 PSPs have direct access to pagoPA without any additional integration.

• More than 50 million users are enabled to use pagoPA through the network of banks connected to the MyBank scheme in Italy, Belgium, Spain, and Portugal.

• In July 2024, following the addition of MyBank on pagoPA Checkout, a 9% year-over-year increase in transaction volumes was recorded.

Milan, 5 November 2024 – MyBank, the solution that enables fast and secure account-to-account (A2A) payments directly from users’ online banking, is now available on pagoPA Checkout and app IO, the desktop and mobile web applications of PagoPA S.p.A., the public tech company established with the mission to enhance and expand digital public services in Italy.

Through even quicker and more immediate access, citizens and businesses can now benefit from the MyBank payment method across additional online payment channels within the pagoPA ecosystem.

They benefit from the convenience of being redirected to their bank’s app when available, or alternatively, confirming the transaction via the selected bank’s mobile website.

“We are particularly pleased with the recent integration on pagoPA Checkout and app IO, which expands the range of channels through which individuals and businesses can use MyBank to make payments to the Italian Public Administration and beyond, simply using a fully pre-filled and immediate bank transfer from their bank’s online banking service,” comments Tarik Zerkti, CEO of PRETA, the company that developed and manages the MyBank solution.

We are confident that the ease of use, personal data protection, and immediacy offered by MyBank will help facilitate the interaction between the Italian Public Administration and its users by providing a smooth, fast, secure, and inclusive payment experience,” adds Giorgio Ferrero, Executive Director of PRETA.
