# White-label

The Tieto E-Commerce Payment Gateway is built with full white-label capability, enabling banks, PSPs, and acquirers to offer a fully branded, merchant-facing payment experience under their own name — without revealing the underlying platform provider.

This model is ideal for financial institutions that want to extend their product portfolio with e-commerce services, maintain control over customer relationships, and reinforce brand identity — while relying on a proven, secure, and scalable payment infrastructure.

### Multi-Tenant Management

The Tieto E-Commerce Payment Gateway supports full multi-tenant architecture, enabling the Gateway owner (typically a bank or PSP) to create and manage independent, fully branded tenant instances for their institutional clients — such as other banks, PSPs, or payment facilitators.

This allows the Gateway owner to operate as a Payment-as-a-Service provider, offering dedicated, white-labeled EGW environments under each client’s brand, with full data and configuration isolation.

**Key Capabilities**

| Capability                         | Description                                                                                                                           |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Dedicated Tenant Instances         | Each client bank or PSP gets its own logically isolated EGW environment with independent merchant base, branding, settings, and APIs. |
| White-Label Branding per Tenant    | Every tenant can have unique visual branding, domain name, portal customization, and payment configurations.                          |
| Configuration Isolation            | Payment methods, risk rules, settlement flows, and compliance policies are independently managed per tenant.                          |
| Data Segregation                   | All transaction, merchant, and user data is logically separated at the tenant level to ensure security and regulatory compliance.     |
| Custom Admin Access                | Tenant-level administrators can manage their merchants, content, reports, and support, without visibility into other tenants.         |
| Usage & Billing Metrics per Tenant | Track operational metrics and license usage per tenant for internal cost management or resale purposes.                               |

## Governance & Control

The white-label model provides institutions with significant branding flexibility while maintaining centralized control of content and compliance through the Tietoevry-managed platform.

**Key Aspects**&#x20;

* Content & Design Management via CMS - Gateway owners can manage merchant-facing content and adjust brand elements through the built-in Content Management System (CMS). This includes page texts, legal disclaimers, visual assets, and interface structure — within defined limits set by the platform.
* Template & Theme Enforcement - Institutions can define and apply UI themes (colors, fonts, logos) for merchants under their brand umbrella, ensuring consistency across all hosted checkout pages and portals.
* Compliance & Accessibility by Design -  Accessibility (e.g., [WCAG 2.1](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/)), PCI DSS, and other regulatory compliance requirements are built into the EGW platform and maintained by Tietoevry as the software vendor. Institutions benefit from ready-made compliance without needing to handle the technical certification process themselves.
* Merchant Access Control - Role-based access policies allow institutions to define what branding or configuration capabilities each merchant can access via the Merchant Portal.

## Deployment Options

White-label support is available in both:

* [Managed Service](https://doc.ecomm.api.tietoevry.com/deployment/managed-service) – Hosted and operated by Tietoevry, but fully branded to the institution.
* [On-Premises](https://doc.ecomm.api.tietoevry.com/deployment/on-premises) – Installed within the bank’s own infrastructure with complete branding and integration flexibility.

## Business Model Benefits

* PSP & Bank Enablement -  Empower partner banks and PSPs to launch their own branded payment gateway service without infrastructure investment.
* Fast Time-to-Market. - Enable onboarding of new white-label tenants with minimal setup effort using pre-defined templates and policies.
* Revenue Expansion -  Monetize the EGW platform as a shared service by offering fully managed, branded payment solutions to downstream partners.
