Skaleet and BPCE Payment Services partner to offer an integrated payment services solution to financial institutions

June 3rd 2025

Paris, France

BPCE Payment Services, the payment operator of Groupe BPCE specialized in card and transaction processing, and Skaleet, a SaaS provider of next-generation core banking solutions, are strengthening their collaboration to offer fintechs, payment institutions, electronic money issuers and banks faster, simplified, and secure access to their banking and payment services. This includes access to BPCE Payment Services' SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) system and card processing services.

A proven partnership serving financial institutions

Skaleet and BPCE Payment Services offer to financial institutions (banks, electronic money institutions and payment institutions) an integrated payment solution including Skaleet’s payment engine and gateway connector and BPCE Payment Services SEPA (SCT, SCT-Inst, SDD) and card processing capabilities. This end-to-end approach enables financial institutions to securely connect to the SEPA rails in 3-6 months, with confidence and reduced costs.   

Skaleet and BPCE Payment Services have already demonstrated the complementarity of their offerings by contributing to structuring projects of common clients:

- Implementation of SEPA instant payment for the fintech Score&Secure Payment to comply with the developments in European regulation on instant payments,

- Technological support for NiuPay, the first digital bank in French Polynesia, which has disrupted the local market by imposing a modern vision and providing easier access to financial products through the combination of our services,

- Caisse d'Epargne Hauts de France, as part of its development in Benelux, created a branch dedicated to large enterprises in the Netherlands.

“This partnership with BPCE Payment Services strengthens our ability to offer clients a 'turnkey' approach where European banking and payment services are already pre-integrated into our platform. Instead of having to assemble the components themselves, financial institutions can rely on a complete solution designed to address their specific challenges in France and Europe. With a major player like BPCE Payment Services by our side, we provide not only connectivity but also a simplified and accelerated experience for our clients,” said Martin Della Chiesa, CEO of Skaleet. 

“BPCE Payment Services supports fintechs and banks in their growth and development by managing, as a regulated actor, the processing of their card transactions and flows. This partnership with Skaleet allows us to offer them a more integrated and flexible solution while bringing our expertise, particularly our ability to handle large volumes in a secure environment,” added Carine André, Deputy CEO of BPCE Payment Services.
