10 December 2018, London, UK: Contis Group, the award-winning banking, payments and processing services provider, has launched a new fast-track programme in partnership with Visa, providing entrepreneurs and start-ups with access to payment cards and banking capabilities in as little as four weeks.

The programme has been created to allow new businesses and FinTech innovators to bring great ideas to market in the shortest possible time; FinTechs can go live with a proof of concept and access to up to 1,000 customer accounts in as little as four weeks.

Fast-track is powered by Contis’ end-to-end banking and processing platform and its impressive API technology stack. It is available to UK based start-ups who meet key eligibility criteria and benefit from access to Visa’s payment network. The full agency banking solution offers contactless and Chip & PIN Visa debit and prepaid cards.

This ground-breaking initiative is designed to drive innovation and disruption by removing the traditional barriers faced by start-ups in banking and payments. The programme will enable businesses to test new concepts in a secure and fully API-configurable environment supported by Contis’ robust Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols and dedicated customer service.

Commenting on the partnership, Flavia Alzetta, Chief Executive Officer of Contis said:

Bill Gajda, SVP Digital Partnerships, FinTech and Venture at Visa, added:

“We’re excited to partner with Contis on the FinTech fast-track programme, making it easier for the next generation of payment innovators and disruptors to leverage our reach, networks and access to grow their business. At Visa, we’re committed to supporting innovation as we believe developing our ecosystem is fundamentally good for consumers and good for business.”

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

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.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

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.

Tip: Only click once

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.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

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.

Tip: Check your security policies

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.

Need to change your e-mail address?

For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
