At the Open Banking Expo in London this October, the message was clear: open banking has moved beyond experimentation to become a proven model delivering billions in value. What began as a regulatory initiative has evolved into a global movement reshaping how businesses and consumers interact with money. The strongest themes from the event were the rapid adoption of Pay by Bank across multiple sectors, its growing role in high‑value transactions, and the momentum building toward a broader open banking ecosystem. Together, these developments highlight a future where payments are faster, more secure, and more customer‑centric.
Pay by Bank stood out as a powerful example of this shift, moving from niche to mainstream in industries such as automotive, hospitality, luxury retail, insurance, and sports. Businesses are embracing it for its speed, security, and lower costs, while customers value the seamless experience. Case studies ranged from a UK car retailer collecting £33 million in its first month to hospitality clients processing high‑value bookings and memberships worth tens of thousands. These examples underscore how open banking is creating tangible value today, while the next frontier—open banking—promises even deeper integration across pensions, insurance, mortgages, and investments, paving the way for a fully connected financial ecosystem.

Williams Jet Tenders were looking for a way to simplify and secure their remote payments process. Before Prommt, managing card payments over the phone or through manual links was time consuming and carried a high risk of errors and fraud. They needed a more streamlined, professional way to request payments that would integrate smoothly with their existing systems. The challenge was clear: they needed a secure, integrated solution that could simplify remote payments without compromising on professionalism or customer trust.

Urban Hive Milano – Client Case Study in partnership with Adyen
Urban Hive Milano is a boutique hotel located in the heart of Milan, Italy, known for its modern design, exceptional hospitality and commitment to innovation. This Case Study in partnership with Adyen explores how the hotel transformed its payment operations with the help of Prommt’s paylink technology and Adyen’s secure infrastructure.
Before the integration, Urban Hive Milano faced challenges with manual payment processes that slowed down operations and impacted staff efficiency. To solve this, the hotel adopted Prommt’s paylink solution, seamlessly embedded into their OPERA Cloud PMS. This eliminated manual postings and introduced a fully automated, frictionless payment flow.
“The integration of Prommt paylinks directly into our OPERA Cloud PMS has completely transformed the way we manage payments,” says the team at Urban Hive Milano. “We no longer waste time on manual postings. Everything is automated and seamless. The system is incredibly easy to use, saving our team valuable time and providing our guests with a much smoother experience.”
This Case Study in partnership with Adyen highlights how Urban Hive Milano improved payment collection, reduced operational overhead and enhanced the overall guest journey. The solution aligns with the hotel’s brand values of trust, convenience and modernity, while also supporting staff productivity.
With Prommt’s intuitive interface and Adyen’s secure processing, Urban Hive Milano now benefits from a streamlined payment experience that reflects the future of hospitality technology. This Case Study in partnership with Adyen demonstrates how smart payment solutions can drive efficiency and guest satisfaction for forward-thinking hotels.
