“Can a single-contract, BaFin-licensed all-in-one payment platform — combining acquiring, fraud, billing, tax, and open banking rails — displace multi-vendor payment stacks for European and global e-commerce merchants?”
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.
