Bank Saint Petersburg has introduced a new internet acquiring service tailored for businesses operating through the VKontakte social network. This solution enables merchants to process payments directly within the platform, eliminating the requirement to build or maintain a dedicated website.
The service is designed for small and medium-sized enterprises that utilize social media as their primary sales channel. By integrating this tool, merchants can begin accepting payments immediately upon signing a contract with the bank.
Key features of the new offering include cost savings on web development and infrastructure. Furthermore, the bank provides a flexible settlement schedule, allowing funds to be credited to the merchant's account up to five times per day.
Dmitry Tumansky, Director of the Corporate Business Products Department at Bank Saint Petersburg, stated that the service aims to provide a convenient and secure financial tool for businesses to increase sales without additional infrastructure expenses.
