ROTTERDAM, 4 March 2025 – Alphacomm, a leader in providing end-to-end solutions for digital goods, announces a strategic partnership with Ivy, a global API provider for instant bank payments.

Empowering digital goods sales across multiple industries

With the payment landscape constantly changing, Alphacomm has joined forces with Ivy to improve payment capabilities for clients across various industries, initially focusing on telecommunications. This partnership will introduce innovative Open Banking solutions, starting with the rollout of the Pay-by-Bank product.

Integrating Ivy’s capabilities, Alphacomm wants to significantly improve how merchants manage their payments and enhance the overall customer experience for digital goods transactions, including top-ups, gift cards, and eSIMs. Recognising the potential discontinuation of GiroPay and SOFORT, Alphacomm is proactively diversifying its payment infrastructure to ensure a smooth transition and support clients for future challenges.

Streamlined payments and improved conversion rates

Alphacomm’s merchants will benefit from Ivy’s advanced Pay-by-Bank solution, which facilitates instant and secure payments, reducing risks like chargebacks and ensuring faster transaction completion. Leveraging Ivy’s Smart Routing Engine, which supports both one-time and recurring payments, Alphacomm can optimise payment success rates by dynamically selecting the most reliable bank connections for each transaction. The solution will allow Alphacomm to minimise payment failures, boost conversion rates, and deliver a better experience for customers.

Strong payment infrastructure across Europe

Through this partnership with Ivy, Alphacomm can offer exceptional access to banking services across Europe through a single API integration. Ivy’s extensive network of top-tier connectivity providers ensures that Alphacomm can deliver reliable payment solutions even in localised markets. This strategic partnership empowers Alphacomm to enhance its infrastructure and support the merchants effectively.

“Teaming up with Alphacomm allows us to leverage the power of Open Banking, bringing our advanced payment solutions to clients who are looking to improve their payment capabilities and streamline their processes.”
Ferdinand Dabitz, CEO of Ivy.

“From the start, our shared vision with Ivy has been to simplify and secure payments for merchants across Europe. This partnership enables us to enhance the customer experience and drive higher conversion rates while staying true to our commitment to making digital transactions simple and safe.”
Huub Sparnaay, CEO of Alphacomm.
