London Theatre Direct is excited to be the first online ticketing platform to offer Pay with Bank transfer as a payment option. Pay with Bank transfer is a new Open Banking-enabled payment solution that allows customers to pay for goods and services with a transfer directly and instantly from their bank account. It’s powered by American Express, but open to everyone.

It’s really simple for customers, with no need for account set up and no card detail entry. All that’s required is a UK current bank account which handles the authentication process and payment, ensuring a speedy and secure payment process where everyone benefits from bank-grade security. The technology is mobile-first making it easy in every situation and cost-effective for merchant partners.

Pay with Bank Transfer Director Marvin Moses said: “We’re delighted to roll out our product to London Theatre Direct to unlock greater choice for their audience and increase benefits to the business. We look forward to theatres re-opening and allowing our technology to be centre stage.”

Mark Prethero, LTD Commercial Director, added: “Partnering with American Express on this initiative has enabled us to continue to be at the forefront of payment innovation in our industry and further increases payment choice for both our customers and distribution partners.”
