Deutsche Bank has entered into a strategic partnership with Bolt to introduce card acquiring services in Europe and the UK.

For this initiative, Silverflow’s payment infrastructure will play a crucial role. Deutsche Bank will act as the primary card acquirer for Bolt, ensuring the necessary regulatory framework is in place to facilitate smooth card transaction processing via Visa and Mastercard.

Details of the Partnership

Bolt’s ability to route payments through Silverflow will be enhanced due to Deutsche Bank’s membership with the relevant schemes. This arrangement allows for fund settlement from card transactions by Deutsche Bank, followed by payouts to Bolt.

The collaboration aims to bolster Deutsche Bank’s position in the European payments landscape and aligns with a recent partnership the bank has formed with Silverflow to modernize card processing and introduce advanced acquiring models. This solution includes live card acquiring for Bolt across Europe and the UK starting from April 2025, seamless transaction routing through Silverflow, fund settlement by Deutsche Bank, and payouts directly to Bolt.

Furthermore, the partnership emphasizes regulatory compliance alongside operational efficiency, working towards optimizing customer experiences and accelerating growth in the region. Both companies will continue to adapt their services to meet the evolving needs of clients and users while adhering to industry regulations.
