London, United Kingdom
What it is
Volt provides real-time account-to-account payments for businesses, connecting domestic instant-payment systems through one harmonised service. Businesses can use it to accept payments, issue refunds and payouts, and manage funds. Its offerings include instant payments, Volt Accounts, virtual IBANs, Circuit Breaker, Transformer and Verify. Merchants can also send payment links or QR codes through email, SMS, chatbots or invoices. Integration options include hosted checkout, API-only and mobile SDK, and listed e-commerce integrations include Shopify, Prestashop, Shopware, Adobe Commerce and WooCommerce. Volt lists Android, iOS, web and API access. Payouts are available in the EU, UK and Australia, but are disabled by default and may carry business-specific limits. Volt says customer funds are segregated under its UK electronic-money and Polish payment-institution licensing, while noting that this is not deposit protection. Pricing is on request. The company was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in London.
