London, June 2019 – Ixaris, the award-winning payments optimisation company has been shortlisted for the Best PayTech Partnership Award in the 2019 PayTech Awards based on its partnership with ground-breaking financial utility, Banking Circle. Winners will be announced at a Gala lunch, hosted by comedian Jo Caulfield, in London on 5th July 2019.

The second annual PayTech Awards recognise excellence and innovation in the use of IT in the finance and payment industry worldwide, and the people who make it happen.

Ixaris chose to connect with Banking Circle’s Virtual IBAN (International Bank Account Number) technology to deliver the travel industry’s most comprehensive, payments solution, streamlining payments and tapping into new revenue sources in ways previously thought impossible. The combination of Banking Circle Virtual IBAN and Ixaris Payments’ technology allows businesses to send and receive payments anywhere in the world at a low cost and in real-time, eliminating the reliance on multiple banking relationships in different territories.

Aran Brown, Ixaris’ Chief Executive Officer said of the PayTech Awards nomination: ‘We’re thrilled to be shortlisted alongside our partner, Banking Circle, for ‘Best PayTech Partnership’ at the PayTech Awards 2019. This partnership has allowed Ixaris to offer an even more competitive edge to our customers, with an ability to optimise travel payments that is now second to none. We are really proud of what we have accomplished alongside Banking Circle. It is an honour to be recognised for this within the industry.”

Anders la Cour, Chief Executive Officer at Banking Circle, added: “Banking Circle Virtual IBAN is an innovative and multi-award-winning solution which plays an invaluable role in delivering faster, cheaper payments to merchants transacting around the globe. Combining our market-leading solution with the award-winning Ixaris payments online platform results in improved payments acceptance, settlement times and reconciliation, without Ixaris customers shouldering the burden of multiple banking relationships, high fees and slow transfer times. It’s tremendously exciting that the collaborative partnership has been recognised by this award nomination.

“Virtual IBAN has already won many awards and this place on the shortlist demonstrates the value Virtual IBAN can add to the solutions of our members. In turn, this delivers better solutions to their customers, improving customer journeys and experience and increasing profitability.”
