Subscription Payments in the EU and UK are Complex Moneymakers
Blog post from Basis Theory
Subscription payments have grown rapidly across the UK and EU, driven by widespread consumer adoption, expanding card and online commerce, and forecasts of continued European subscription growth despite a modest slowdown in pace. Merchants operating across the region face differing regulatory regimes, including PSD2, SEPA, GDPR, and UK-specific FCA requirements, as well as varied consumer payment preferences and multiple local currencies outside the eurozone. Because a uniform approach may create friction, higher costs, or compliance risks, many European businesses use multiple payment service providers to localize transactions, support preferred payment methods, manage currency conversion, and optimize processing fees. A programmable payment vault using tokenization can support this multi-processor strategy by securely storing sensitive customer data, reducing PCI-DSS compliance burdens, preserving merchants’ control over payment credentials, and enabling them to change or add providers without disrupting recurring billing.
