Scaling Payment Operations with DECTA White-Label Solutions

The payments landscape is undergoing rapid transformation, with businesses increasingly seeking scalable, customizable solutions that can adapt to evolving market demands. For Payment Service Providers (PSPs), FinTech startups, and Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs), the challenge lies not just in processing transactions, but in building robust payment infrastructure that can scale efficiently while maintaining competitive advantages.

DECTA's white-label solutions emerge as a compelling answer to these challenges.

DECTA's Comprehensive Payment Ecosystem

DECTA is a full-stack payment infrastructure provider with over 20 years of experience, serving 2000+ customers and partners while processing over 1 billion transactions annually with 99.99% uptime. The company holds EMI licenses in the UK, Cyprus, and Ireland, and maintains PCI DSS Level 1, ISO 27001, and ISO 9001:2015 certifications.

Payment Ecosystem Foundation

DECTA's payment ecosystem relies on cloud-based infrastructure for global growth opportunities without time and financial market entry constraints. For already established companies, DECTA features the API functionalities necessary to provide additional integration and automated workflow capabilities to reduce unnecessary manual effort and streamline processes.

This ecosystem allows for payment processing, risk management, and reporting to be integrated seamlessly.

Technical Infrastructure Advantages

DECTA offers a technical infrastructure that provides scalability and reliability, with 10 million payments processed per month, equating to 99.99% uptime. As a cloud-based infrastructure, scalability occurs without effort, and a fully functioning foundation is available regardless of how quickly a business expands.

The platform features the latest security measures including Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) and tokenization, which not only protects customer information but also reduces PCI DSS compliance requirements for those using the platform.

White-Label Solutions Core Components

DECTA’s white-label solutions equip PSPs, FinTechs, and ISOs with scalable, brandable payment infrastructure:

White-label Payment Gateway: DECTA's white-label payment gateway can be launched within three weeks from anywhere in the world with fully customizable branding flexibility and integration. There are multiple checkout types that render universal suitability across devices, viewports, and payment engines, whether a company has a brand-new mobile app or a website.

Host2Host API Capabilities: The Host2Host API enables server-to-server communication between the payment service provider and financial transaction infrastructure. DECTA requires nothing on the client side to facilitate backend integration directly. This differs from traditional white labelling as it does not transmit data outside to another gateway but keeps all data processing within the PSP systems while still enabling multi-gateway consolidation and custom payment flows.

Payment Orchestration Platform: Transaction processing is efficiently handled via smart routing algorithms. Higher success and approval rates mean more revenue opportunities and reduced transaction costs due to centralized management of multiple gateways on one platform. The payment orchestration platform integrates with multiple payment channels including international PSPs (Payment Service Providers), acquirers, and payment partners.

Strategic Benefits for PSPs and FinTech Businesses

DECTA provides PSPs and FinTechs with strategic advantages through its white-label solutions. These include faster market entry, lower operational costs, scalable infrastructure, and seamless integration—key benefits that support growth, efficiency, and global expansion.

1. Accelerated Time-to-Market

Perhaps the biggest advantage of using DECTA's white-label solutions is accelerated time-to-market—DECTA cuts time-to-market significantly. Building proprietary infrastructure can take months—and even years—before a banking entity or FinTech is ready to deploy its offerings. Yet, in as little as three weeks, DECTA's white-label payment gateway can be ready to go. Time-to-market translates into time to revenue for finite windows of opportunity for launches or heightened competition within the marketplace.

The ability to get to market this quickly stems from DECTA's pre-built infrastructure components, along with comprehensive API documentation and integration support. For FinTech startups constrained by deadlines and budgets, this is a competitive advantage.

Case Study: CardAq - White Label Gateway Implementation

DECTA's White Label Gateway was implemented in 4 weeks by a UK-based fintech, CardAq. After working with DECTA for 3 years using its processing services, CardAq expanded into a PSP using the branded cloud-based solution. One of the key highlights was partner accounts, which allow PSPs to control sub-merchant management easily without any added overhead.

2. Cost Optimization and ROI Enhancement

Payment white-label solutions provide cost optimization compared to creating proprietary payment solutions from scratch. Companies do not need to pay significant upfront fees for payment technology construction; normally, just to get basic payment infrastructure started, companies spend $75,000 to $250,000—and DECTA provides a level playing field with predictable operational costs.

Improved Return on Investment (ROI) occurs when operational efficiency allows for product offerings based on necessity and eliminates excess revenue spending relative to non-tailored solutions. Payment white-label gateways have analytics and reporting capabilities; thus companies can gain better financial insight for payment processing.

3. Operational Scalability

DECTA's payment processing infrastructure provides operational scalability by nature, allowing for more transactions per minute without sacrificing the quality of service. With over 10 million transactions processed monthly with 99.99% uptime, this level of service shows companies that no matter how big their businesses get, they'll always have scalable payment infrastructure supporting them.

Cloud-based architecture ensures that no matter how much a company grows, scalability will always be seamless as the infrastructure will always be full-featured. Additionally, automated workflows ensure that as volume increases, manual work requirements will not require proportional increases in administrative staff.

4. Enhanced Security and Compliance

Security is paramount when it comes to payment processing. DECTA's payment processing infrastructure has built-in layers of security to keep sensitive information secure; DECTA maintains PCI DSS Level 1 certification and has fraud detection mechanisms. For companies operating across multiple governance jurisdictions, compliance concerns are addressed when using DECTA as it complies with international compliance standards.

Payment white-label solutions add security through Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) and tokenization that ensure customer payment information is never revealed during processing. These efforts not only secure customer data but also help companies reduce regulatory requirements when using the gateway.

Integration Capabilities and Technical Flexibility

DECTA delivers flexible integration options for PSPs and FinTechs through robust APIs, multi-channel support, and full white-label customization. This technical agility enables fast deployment, seamless compatibility, and tailored experiences that scale with business growth.

API-Driven Architecture

DECTA is fully API-driven with user-friendly documentation, providing simple integration with any existing merchant infrastructure. The transition to API-driven architecture does not disrupt existing processes, merely enhances capabilities for payment processing.

The DECTA API possesses multiple API functionalities; however, each merchant can choose and activate only the operations their business needs. The authentication process occurs once per merchant for test and production environments and uses certificate-based authentication.

Multi-Channel Support

Omnichannel capabilities are required in today's marketplace, and DECTA integrates seamlessly for web integration, mobile integration, and point-of-sale environments. Everything is consolidated for easier payment processing, which is important for businesses with multiple sales channels.

DECTA integrates many payment methods—traditional card payments, digital wallets, and Klarna buy-now-pay-later, along with emerging payment technologies. Acceptance of all payment types is imperative as customer payment preferences grow.

Customization and White-Labeling

White-labeling capabilities mean that brands can maintain branding opportunities during any customer touchpoint for payment. Whether customizable payment pages, branded interfaces, or tailored user experiences, everything can be adjusted for a branded experience.

Increased Customer Loyalty: White-label payment gateways can increase customer loyalty. A white-label gateway confirms the legitimacy of the brand itself, offering customers peace of mind and increasing customer loyalty.

Increased Brand Visibility: White-label payment gateways increase brand visibility; whether offering or using a white-label payment gateway, brands are seen more often and have increased chances of top-of-mind awareness.

Custom functionalities allow companies to integrate brand-centric features that differentiate them in an oversaturated marketplace. For ISOs (Independent Sales Organizations) and PSPs (Payment Service Providers) looking to provide merchant customers with enhanced value propositions, this is invaluable.

Market Expansion and Global Reach

DECTA helps PSPs and FinTechs expand globally with scalable white-label infrastructure and local market integrations. Its platform supports multi-currency payments, regional compliance, and fast market entry across diverse geographies.

Cross-Border Payment Capabilities

DECTA's global infrastructure supports cross-border transactions with multi-currency processing capabilities covering 50+ currencies. This international reach is essential for businesses seeking to expand into new markets or serve international customers.

The platform's compliance with international regulations and support for local payment methods in various markets reduces the complexity of global expansion. PSPs can leverage DECTA's established relationships with local acquiring banks and payment networks to enter new markets more efficiently.

Regulatory Compliance Across Jurisdictions

Operating across multiple markets requires navigation of complex regulatory environments. DECTA's EMI licenses in the UK, Cyprus, and Ireland, combined with principal membership in major card networks, provide regulatory coverage across key markets.

Licenses and Certifications Held by DECTA:

  • UK Financial Conduct Authority EMI license
  • Central Bank of Cyprus EMI license
  • Central Bank of Ireland EMI license
  • Principal membership with Mastercard & Visa
  • PCI DSS Level 1 certification
  • ISO 27001 and ISO 9001:2015 certifications

The platform's built-in compliance capabilities help businesses meet local regulatory requirements without developing specialized expertise in each jurisdiction. This regulatory support is particularly valuable for smaller PSPs and fintechs lacking resources for comprehensive compliance programs.

Partnership Ecosystem and Industry Integration

DECTA empowers PSPs and FinTechs to grow through strategic alliances and seamless integration with top-tier industry players. These partnerships enhance solution capabilities, accelerate innovation, and expand access to global payment ecosystems.

Strategic Partnerships

DECTA's strategic partnerships add value beyond DECTA's payment solution as it integrates with other systems. For instance, the Klarna integration shows that DECTA's white-label payment gateway comes equipped with emerging payment methods so that merchants have frictionless payment options that enhance the customer journey and lead to higher conversion rates.

Such partnerships mean businesses do not have to develop their own integrations to accommodate a full payment experience. For example, the Klarna integration allows all of DECTA's clients to have Pay Later options to drive sales, achieve cart abandonment reduction, and enable global market expansion.

Technology Integration Examples

Integration capabilities operate under the provision that DECTA can work with other systems, which indicates flexibility and comprehensive offerings. Implementation scenarios include dashboard account connection, currency configuration, and dynamic descriptors for transaction management.

There are also development tools and APIs available with programming language support and technical documentation for various integration scenarios.
