Avinode Adding Wire Payments to PayNode
A year after launch in Orlando, Avinode payments subsidiary PayNode has signed up WorldFirst to provide it with a wire payments solution.
Magnus Henriksson, global business director of Avinode’s PayNode business unit, believes adding electronic payment capability will attract more users.

PayNode, the wholly owned online payments subsidiary of Sweden’s Avinode (Booth C10018), has partnered with UK company WorldFirst to develop wire payments for its customers, something it has been promising to develop for some time. It hopes to start beta testing in this year's fourth quarter and make wire payments available generally in next year's second quarter. Avinode launched PayNode at NBAA 2016 in Orlando, and since then it has gained more than 100 customers. At present they are only able to pay using their American Express card or Avcard, but this is still a significant advance on manual processes, the company points out.
