A direct payment processor company built for EU, UK and Commonwealth merchants.
BazPay is the operating brand of NEWERA PAYMENT TECHNOLOGIES LTD, a direct regional payment processor company. Card and APM authorisation, tokenisation, hosted checkout, recurring billing, payouts, fraud controls and reporting are built and operated by the same entity — one contract, one MID, one platform.
Built for EU, UK and Commonwealth e-commerce sellers, subscription software firms and professional-services companies. No aggregated MID, no reseller in the chain, no downstream partner sitting behind an opaque relationship.
Why the processor company behind the platform matters
The company that operates a payment platform shapes every downstream decision — who underwrites your merchant application, who owns the roadmap, and who your on-call speaks to during an incident. Four properties matter more than a marketing brochure.
-
A named entity you contract with
The counterparty on your merchant agreement is NEWERA PAYMENT TECHNOLOGIES LTD, operating BazPay. Not a reseller. Not an aggregator. Not a marketplace of third-party PSPs.
-
Direct regional acquiring, no middle layer
The same company that runs the processor also holds the acquiring relationship. Authorisation and settlement live under one legal entity, so there is no downstream bank behind an opaque partnership.
-
One book, one underwriting policy
The company boards a single regional book. Underwriting policy is published; approval decisions come from an in-house team, not from a bank that only sees a summary of your file.
-
Product ownership across the stack
The processor company also owns the gateway API, the vault, the fraud engine and the dashboard. A change your team asks for lands on one roadmap, not four.

How a merchant engages with the payment processor company
Six stages describe the relationship from first enquiry to steady-state operations. Each stage has a named owner on the BazPay side, and each stage change is visible in the dashboard.
-
Enquire
You share business model, volumes and markets. The processor company confirms boarding fit before any paperwork is exchanged.
-
Contract
The merchant agreement names BazPay operated by NEWERA PAYMENT TECHNOLOGIES LTD as the counterparty. No downstream party is inserted.
-
Provision
KYC completes, a named MID opens with the schemes and sandbox plus live API credentials are issued for your engineers.
-
Integrate
One REST endpoint and hosted fields for the checkout. Existing plugins cover common regional commerce stacks so the effort is calibrated to the delta.
-
Authorise
Each charge posts against your MID with the authentication result bound to the transaction. Interchange++ line detail lands on every settlement.
-
Settle
Funds settle from the acquirer to your named local settlement account per scheme cycle, with a signed payout event per settlement for automated reconciliation.
Direct processor company vs reseller PSP or aggregator
Not every "payment processor" you see on a shortlist is the same kind of entity. The comparison below explains where the difference actually shows up in a merchant relationship — from contract to reporting to underwriting.
| Dimension | BazPay (direct processor) | Reseller PSP or aggregator |
|---|---|---|
| Legal counterparty | NEWERA PAYMENT TECHNOLOGIES LTD (direct) | Reseller PSP or aggregator |
| MID structure | Named MID per merchant | Shared or aggregated MID |
| Acquiring | regional acquiring licence held in-house | Downstream acquirer, hidden partner |
| Underwriting | In-house team, published policy | Passed through the reseller |
| Product ownership | One roadmap across acceptance and billing | Multiple vendors, independent roadmaps |
| Support surface | Named integration manager | Ticketing queue |
| Underwriting book | Regional only, explicit scope | Broad, few exclusions |

The product surface the processor company operates
Everything below ships on the standard integration. Turn features on with a request flag or a dashboard toggle — no premium tier that unlocks the primitives.
-
REST API
One endpoint creates a charge across cards, wallets, local APMs and SEPA Instant — the response object shape does not change between rails.
-
Hosted fields
Card, expiry and CVC inputs served from our PCI environment inside your checkout, keeping your annual return at merchant SAQ A.
-
Gateway vault + network tokens
Store credentials once for card-on-file. Network tokens refresh through Visa and Mastercard token services when a card is reissued.
-
3-D Secure 2.2
Authentication with automatic exemption logic — TRA, low-value, trusted-beneficiary and MIT — so most checkouts stay frictionless.
-
Signed webhooks
HMAC-signed, replay-protected events for every state change across every rail — one signature scheme end to end.
-
Interchange++ reporting
Every settled transaction breaks out interchange, scheme fees and processor margin for line-level reconciliation.
-
Payouts
SEPA and SEPA Instant merchant payouts to your named local settlement account. SWIFT and push-to-card available on approved corridors.
-
Recurring billing
Card-on-file, dunning-aware retries and MIT exemptions on renewals — subscription billing native to the platform.
One API from the company that operates the platform
The gateway processor endpoints and the acquiring settlement stream belong to the same company, so there is no coordination between two vendors on your side. Charges, settlements, refunds and disputes all pass through one signing secret and one webhook envelope.

Questions merchants ask about the processor company
Who is the payment processor company behind BazPay?
BazPay is operated by NEWERA PAYMENT TECHNOLOGIES LTD, a locally registered entity. The same company runs the gateway API, holds the acquiring relationship for the regional book and signs the merchant agreement — there is no reseller or aggregator between the merchant and the platform operator.
What is the difference between a payment gateway and a payment processor?
A payment gateway is the software layer that carries authorisation traffic between a merchant, the card networks and the issuers. A payment processor is the entity that operates that layer and settles the merchant. Some companies do only one; some do both. BazPay is both — the payment gateway and payment processor are operated as one platform by the same company, which is why merchants get a single contract and one MID rather than two.
Is BazPay a cryptocurrency payment processor?
No. BazPay is not a cryptocurrencies payment processor and does not board crypto-exchange merchants, crypto marketplaces or consumer wallet operators. The platform is scoped to card, device wallet, local payment method and instant rails for merchants across the EU, UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
How is BazPay different from a merchant processor reseller?
A merchant processor reseller places its brand on top of a downstream acquirer, and the merchant sits on a shared MID. BazPay holds the acquiring relationship directly, issues a named MID and signs the merchant agreement as the counterparty. That means chargeback attribution, settlement reporting and underwriting decisions are attributed to your entity, not diluted across a pool.
What do I do if the payment processor is down?
Rail-level health per network is published on the BazPay status page, and signed platform.maintenance and platform.incident webhooks fire into your webhook stream so your on-call sees them next to your existing alerts. Support and escalation paths are documented on day one; a named integration manager owns the operational relationship for boarded merchants.
Do you publish payment processor market share statistics?
No, and any figure you see about market share is worth checking. BazPay does not publish approval-rate percentages, customer counts or market-share numbers in marketing copy because none of those are stable, comparable metrics across processors. Underwriting fit, rate structure and product scope are the numbers that matter, and those are published on the pricing page and confirmed during boarding.
How would a merchant become a payment processor themselves?
Becoming a full payment processor requires an acquiring bank relationship (or a licence) with the card networks, membership with each scheme, ongoing PCI DSS Level 1 assessment and the operational surface to settle funds. It is a multi-year regulated build. The reason most merchants pick a processor company rather than becoming one is that the entry cost — capital, licensing, engineering, compliance — dwarfs the cost of a well-scoped processor contract.
Which merchants can this processor company board?
Merchants across the EU, UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand: e-commerce sellers, subscription software firms, professional-services businesses and digital publishers. Out of scope: adult, gambling, CBD, nutraceutical, forex, CFD, crypto-exchange, debt-collection and MLM. BazPay is not a merchant of record and does not act as a marketplace of third-party PSPs.
