Compass Plus achieves accreditation for Faster Payments
Compass Plus, an international provider of retail banking and electronic payments software for processors and financial institutions, has announced that it has been certified as one of only five companies to achieve aggregator accreditation for Faster Payments in the UK. Faster Payments is a system that enables customers in the UK to make secure and fast automated payments via mobile, internet, telephone or standing order 24/7/365 at the touch of a button.
The software provider’s open development payments platform, TranzAxis, was certified by Faster Payments Scheme Limited (FPSL), the operator behind Faster Payments, after successfully completing a series of technical tests required by FPSL for its New Access Model. Compass Plus chose Ascert Limited to support the testing.
This accreditation means that Compass Plus will now be able to offer TranzAxis as a Faster Payments software gateway to aggregators and those Payment Service Providers (PSPs) that require direct access to Faster Payments’ Central Infrastructure.
Mike Banyard, Head of Development at Faster Payments, said: “Customer demand for real-time payments means the importance of opening up access to our world-leading service has never been more important. We are pleased to welcome Compass Plus as the latest FinTech to achieve the accreditation standard – they will play a vital role in stimulating competition by providing more choice for payment service providers in how to access Faster Payments.”
Mike Wainwright, Business Development Director at Ascert UK said: “Compass Plus were one of the first FinTechs to take up the cloud based FPS Accreditation service provided by Ascert. The Ascertified cloud based testing system enabled them to successfully complete their own functional testing as well as the formal accreditation with minimal support required from us.”
Darren Busby, Associate VP & Business Development Director at Compass Plus said: “Access to real-time payments will be a benefit for businesses and consumers alike so we are particularly proud to be one of the first vendors awarded the Faster Payments ‘trust mark’ certificate. The certification demonstrates our ongoing commitment to innovation and future-proofing our customers’ business.”

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.
For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.
The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.
Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.
Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
