In September 2023, UK-based cloud payment technology provider Form3 announced that Visa invested in the cloud-native A2A platform, facilitating the expansion of Form3. The news followed the announcement that Form3 was set to give Visa’s clients and customers access to their payments platform, in order to enable them to modernise their overall payments’ infrastructure.

The commercial collaboration aimed to bring the firms’ offerings and capabilities together, in a common effort to reduce high levels of fraudulent activities in real-time account-to-account (A2A) payments, which included the process of building on Form3’s single API connectivity. Earlier in the same month, Visa extended its partnership with Cashflows in order to amplify authorisation rates and to offer users instant payouts and international payment capabilities. By connecting with Cashflows, clients were given the possibility to access a new community of collaborators and an ecosystem of solutions.

The focus was on enabling Cashflows to scale faster and deliver an optimised overall customer experience, while also increasing its reach. The rollout of Cybersource’s tools was set to commerce over the following weeks, aiming to provide clients with access to efficient, secure, and fast services for their payment needs, preferences, and demands. .
