Twikey Overview

Overview

Twikey is a specialized Direct Debit payment process provider and bank-centric mandate management primarily operating across Europe. It specializes in SEPA Direct Debit (Core and B2B), enabling you to validate mandates thoroughly before initiating recurring collections.

Twikey handles mandate validation and payment orchestration, while funds are deposited directly into the merchant’s bank account instead of going through an intermediary payment service provider.

Key Differentiators

• Reduced chargeback exposure
  • No chargeback rights for B2B mandates
  • Consumer chargeback window reduced from 13 months to 8 weeks for core flows
• Direct bank settlement – Funds are deposited directly into the merchant’s bank account.
