A milestone told with clarity

Feature spotlight

Open Banking across CAS-UK payments

Members can now pay by bank across key CAS-UK payment moments with a guided, provider-backed journey that brings them back to finish confidently.

The member problem before this feature

Before this release, members who preferred paying directly from their bank often had to work around card-first payment surfaces or wonder whether leaving CAS-UK would break the journey they had already started.

Open Banking now appears as a first-class bank transfer route across multiple payment surfaces, from donations and campaign contributions to fees, wallet top-ups, and automatic wallet reload setup.

What changed

Open Banking now appears as a first-class bank transfer route across multiple payment surfaces, from donations and campaign contributions to fees, wallet top-ups, and automatic wallet reload setup.

  • Donation pages now surface Bank Transfer (Open Banking) as a real payment choice.
  • Campaign contribution flows can move members through secure bank authorisation without losing campaign context.
  • Member fees, fines, wallet reloads, and auto-reload setup now support the same guided bank-first journey.

Why this matters to the member

This matters because the feature changes how confident the member feels at the exact point of payment.

More trust at payment time

Members can choose a bank-first route when that feels safer or more familiar than entering card details.

A guided handoff

CAS-UK now tells members when they are leaving, prepares the payment details, and returns them after bank approval.

One story across many journeys

Open Banking is no longer a one-off edge case. It supports real payment moments members already use.

Better completion confidence

The secure provider step and the return to CAS-UK feel like one joined-up path instead of a leap of faith.

End-to-end member journey

The member story is one connected Open Banking experience across CAS-UK.

Donation

Donate by bank

Choose Bank Transfer (Open Banking), review the amount, continue to the secure provider step, and return to CAS-UK after authorisation.

Contribution

Support a campaign

Contributions keep their campaign context while the member moves through bank approval and comes back to the thanks path.

Fee

Handle urgent member fees calmly

Joining, reactivation, suspension, and missed contribution payments can now follow a steadier bank-transfer route.

Wallet

Top up with fewer doubts

Wallet reloads are now tied to the same secure handoff and return path, making top-ups easier to trust.

Auto-reload

Set it up once

Open Banking also supports longer-term convenience through automatic wallet reload setup.

What the member sees on screen

  • Bank Transfer (Open Banking) as a visible option on enabled payment pages.
  • Clear reassurance that CAS-UK will briefly hand the member to a secure bank authorisation step.
  • A return to the CAS-UK completion path once the bank step is done.

What to do next

  • Choose the bank transfer route the next time you donate, contribute, pay a fee, reload your wallet, or enable auto-reload.
  • Review the amount, continue to the secure provider step, authorise with your bank, and return to CAS-UK.
  • Use the release guide if you want a quick reminder of where Open Banking now appears.

Support and reassurance

Paying by bank should feel just as guided as paying by card. CAS-UK tells members when they are leaving, routes them through a secure provider-backed bank step, and brings them back to finish with confidence.
