Sokin adds online checkout and payment links for UK businesses

Sokin has introduced Sokin Checkout and Payment Links for UK businesses, adding online card and wallet acceptance to its financial infrastructure platform, the company said. At launch, businesses can accept payments in USD, GBP, EUR and CAD across Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Alipay and WeChat Pay, with like-for-like settlement into their Sokin accounts.

The launch extends Sokin’s platform from payments out and treasury services into receivables, giving finance teams a way to collect, hold, convert and send funds through one account structure. Sokin said the products sit alongside its existing Send capabilities, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange and treasury infrastructure.

Payment Links allow a business to create a secure payment request and distribute it by URL or QR code. Once a customer pays, the money is received directly into the company’s Sokin account, removing the need for a separate integration to collect those funds, according to Sokin.

The product also includes automated reminders and late-payment notices. Sokin said that feature is intended to reduce manual follow-up by finance teams that still request payment by email and track receipts through external tools. Payment status is updated inside the platform.

Sokin Checkout is designed for online sales flows. The company said businesses can use a Sokin-hosted payment page or embed the checkout in an online storefront at the point of sale. Customers may pay using supported payment methods, including existing reward programmes and any pre-agreed credit, according to Sokin.

Sokin said Checkout launched in the US in April 2026. The UK rollout brings the service to domestic businesses that need to receive cross-border payments and manage settlement within the same account environment they use to hold and move money.

Vroon Modgill, Sokin’s founder and chief executive, said companies should not need to run international finance operations across many separate tools and banking providers. “We’re building unified global financial infrastructure where businesses can pay, hold, convert, and now receive funds, all in the same place,” Modgill said. “Adding the ability to accept funds through payment links and online checkouts is a major step toward that vision.”

The company also said an AI agentic layer sits above the platform to help businesses manage risk, optimise exposure and make financial decisions in real time. Sokin did not provide additional detail on the model, controls or data inputs behind that layer in its announcement.

Peter Daunton, Sokin’s chief product officer, said integrating receivables into core finance workflows gives companies a single dashboard and login for collection and settlement. “With Payment Links and Checkout, the entire lifecycle, from the initial request and automated follow-ups to the final settlement, is centralised,” he said.

Sokin said it plans to add more payment methods over time to broaden global coverage.
