Powens lets you issue unlimited API-based IBAN and Virtual IBAN accounts for automating your own payment operations, or embed them in your app to offer your business customers a banking experience – all without requiring you to have your own regulatory licence.

For your own operations, you open accounts and issue IBANs (physical or virtual) via API or admin dashboard to automate your payment workflows. For your business users (white-label), you embed account opening and IBAN issuance directly into your software, with full KYB and KYC onboarding and compliance handled by Powens — all under your brand.

No. Powens provides everything required to run payment accounts without having to register for a regulatory licence or build complex compliance processes. KYC checks, multi-factor authentication and regulatory compliance are all handled by us according to PSD2 and electronic money regulation.

Account holders can receive and send money via SEPA Instant Transfers, SEPA Direct Debit and Pay-by-Bank. You can also link Virtual IBANs with these tracked payment methods to automate reconciliation. Third-party payment providers can be used alongside Powens’ embedded methods.

Virtual IBANs let you assign a unique IBAN reference to each payer, invoice or transaction type. When funds arrive on a Virtual IBAN, the system automatically knows who paid and for what, eliminating manual matching between incoming payments and expected amounts.

Powens has issued 16,000+ IBAN accounts, processes 450,000+ monthly instant pay-outs, and has handled 2.5 Bn€ in total payment volume in 2025. Operations are available 24/7 with a historical API availability of 99.9%.
