Enable card scanning to retrieve bank account details

During the signup process.

Some bank cards donโ€™t have the sort code and account number on, so Iโ€™m not sure how well that would work.

It could be just an optional button if you click a button โ€œscan the cardโ€ rather then input yourself. A nice augmented benefit :slight_smile:

Uber is a great example. Very easy to use and onboard a payment card into the app

Is that bank transfer or card payment?

It is a card payment but the technology is the same - scanning what is on the card. The only difference to make is to change the scanning locations from 16 digits + dates to sort code with account number.

There are no bank details on credit cards in France. Making a feature possibly limited to the UK only?

On debit cards, not credit cards

Sorry, I am using the two terms interchangeably. I meant debit/credit cards.

Not all cards do this so it seems a lot of effort for a small gain, especially since that tech mostly is used for the long card number. Monzo comes up often here and their cards donโ€™t show it.
