Skanway is a business introduction platform that connects merchants in high-risk sectors with specialised payment providers.
Our goal is to make the search and the first exchanges easier, without taking part in payment processing.
Merchants present their business, their markets and the payment solutions they are looking for.
For their part, providers share the sectors they accept, the countries they cover and the commercial criteria that apply.
Skanway carries out a first review of the information provided to identify possible collaborations.
This commercial pre-screening does not replace the compliance checks carried out by the payment provider.
When a merchant’s needs appear to match a provider’s criteria, Skanway proposes an introduction.
The decision to continue the discussions belongs to both parties.
With their consent, Skanway facilitates the first contact between the merchant and the payment provider.
The partners can then discuss their commercial and operational terms directly.
The payment provider is responsible for its own assessment process and for the services it agrees to provide.
It decides on the documents required, the pricing, the compliance requirements and the technical arrangements.
The merchant remains responsible for the information provided and for meeting the obligations that apply to its business.
Skanway acts solely in the introduction and commercial facilitation, within the limits set by its agreements.
Our platform is not a payment processing system.
It does not create merchant accounts, does not grant regulatory authorisation and does not approve transactions.
Customer payments, settlement operations, any reserves and other financial flows are managed by the providers concerned.
Skanway does not receive or hold the funds of transactions made by merchants.
