Barion – strategic payment and data analytics partner

Barion is a Hungarian fintech company that provides online payment solutions, a digital wallet and advanced customer analytics for merchants and customers. The service is operated by Barion Payment Zrt., an electronic money institution licensed by the Hungarian National Bank, with an EU license and under payment supervision.

The team was founded by professionals who are both engineers and businesspeople. Their goal was to build a payment infrastructure that is technically strong, transparent and developer-friendly, especially on the API side. The Barion API was designed specifically so that integrating it is a pleasant experience for developers, and it can be connected quickly to web shops and systems.

Barion Smart Gateway provides businesses with bank card and other digital payment methods, with no hidden costs and no monthly fee. Pricing is based on turnover and can start from as low as 0.99%, which is especially favorable for web shops. There is no joining or exit fee: the merchant pays only when they have actual revenue.

Behind the technology there is more than payment processing: Barion also provides marketing and analytics tools. With Barion Pixel, merchants gain deeper insight into customer behavior, and can use this data for fraud prevention, conversion growth and targeted campaigns. The system helps identify risky transactions and supports the business in making payments safer.

Barion Wallet gives private individuals a fast and secure online payment option, without having to re-enter bank card details. Users can send and receive money by email address, and can store several payment sources digitally.

In terms of security, Barion meets the strictest industry standards. The purpose of the fraud prevention solutions and transaction monitoring is to protect both the merchant side and the customers with every single payment.

In short: Barion is not just an online card payment provider. It is a payment gateway, e-wallet and data analytics platform in one, with a Hungarian background and an international financial license.
