Novalnet Team Up

The story

Novalnet AG was established as a BaFin-licensed full-service payment provider in Germany, targeting online merchants with a single-contract model covering acquiring, fraud prevention, billing, and debt collection. Over time it expanded its platform to include tax automation, installment payments, and marketplace/affiliate split-payment capabilities. The partnership with Tink marks an explicit move into open banking-powered payments, extending Novalnet beyond card-based acquiring toward account-to-account payment rails.
