iSignthis Ltd, a payment and identity verification technology company, announced today that it has entered into a number of new agreements with card schemes and other parties, to combat the upcoming termination of its cooperation with the National Australia Bank (NAB).
According to the statement, which was made on behalf of its Australian subsidiaries trading as ISXPay, NAB will no longer process payments for foreign exchange (forex), contracts for difference (CFD), equities, remittance and binary options traders.
NAB Adopts “No Appetite” for FX
NAB will discontinue these services under the revised “High Risk MCC Update” policy, in which it has adopted a “no appetite” position for these trading sectors, the statement said. As a result, iSignthis’ Visa and Mastercard payment facility (PayFac) agreement with NAB will terminate as of the 30th of April, 2019.
The new agreements announced today will allow the company to continue to provide its services in the country ranging from payment processing and clearing and settlement for all major card schemes, including , without the partnership with NAB.
This means clients of ISXPay, which the company has stated the “overwhelming majority” of which are CFD and forex brokers and market makers will be able to continue to process, clear and settle trade transactions.
