Account-to-Account Payments Webinar by The Soltesz Institute with Filippo Bergamin 🦁

In the latest webinar by the Soltesz Institute, Viktoria Soltesz was joined by Filippo Bergamin from DoubleP Consulting to break it down in practical terms. The webinar looked at the role of banks, FinTech, technology layers, regulation, risks, and most importantly, what all this means for your business.~

Account-to-account (A2A) payments allow money to move directly between bank accounts, bypassing card networks, wallets, and intermediaries. They’re cheaper, faster, and already standard in multiple countries, but most businesses are still not prepared to integrate them properly. 

Implementation often means dealing with multiple providers, fragmented regulation, missing refund processes, and serious reconciliation problem, especially for international operations.

While SEPA is pushing for instant payments across Europe, this won’t fix the operational challenges that come with A2A. The lack of chargeback mechanisms or standardised dispute procedures also means higher risk if not managed properly. 

Businesses that treat A2A as a plug-and-play tool are likely to face issues unless they build a strategy around it from the start.
