You’re losing up to 45% of sales at checkout.
Your billing system isn’t broken—your payments are.
Most SaaS companies optimize pricing, checkout, and billing—yet still rely heavily on credit cards.
The reality? Up to 45% of transactions fail before billing even begins.
That’s revenue you’ve already earned—lost simply because you’re not offering your customers alternatives to cards
To succeed in Europe, SaaS companies need to go beyond credit cards. Here's what that looks like in practice:

Meet customers where they are. Bank-based payments are the default in many European markets, not the exception.
Not all payment connections perform equally—routing matters.
Authentication steps can cause drop-off if not optimized.
If one payment path fails, another should take over instantly.

Failed payments are often caused by card declines, authentication issues (SCA), insufficient funds, and lack of local payment method support—especially in Europe.
You can reduce failed payments by offering local payment methods, improving payment routing, and using pay-by-bank solutions that connect directly to European banks.
Pay by bank (Open Banking) allows customers to pay directly from their bank account instead of using a credit card, improving payment success rates and reducing friction.
European regulations like PSD2 and SCA introduce additional authentication steps, and banks often have stricter approval rules, leading to higher failure rates.
DPMax uses AI-powered routing, bank-level connectivity, and redundancy across payment paths to ensure transactions complete successfully.
