The European Skyflow alternative
A processor-agnostic vault like Skyflow — but payments-native and European. PCI Proxy adds 100% EU data residency, transparent interchange++ pricing from 0.45%, and the option to vault and acquire with one provider.
Why European teams choose PCI Proxy over Skyflow
The same vault-and-tokenize model — but built for European card payments, with one provider for vaulting and acquiring.
EU data residency
Card data is stored only in European data centres — no transatlantic transfers, simpler GDPR and bank data-residency sign-off.
Payments-native
Purpose-built for cardholder data and payment flows, not a general-purpose PII vault you adapt to cards.
Vault + acquiring in one
Use the vault standalone, or add our acquiring engine and consolidate vaulting and processing with one EU provider.
Transparent pricing
Interchange++ from 0.45%, published and itemised — instead of quote-based enterprise plans.
Done-for-you collection
Hosted fields, mobile SDKs, MOTO/phone and email payment links out of the box — not just an API to build around.
Portable tokens
Tokens work with any processor — Stripe, Adyen, Nexi or our RoxPay engine — so you keep routing freedom and no lock-in.

Skyflow alternative, answered
01 What is the best European alternative to Skyflow for card data?
PCI Proxy is a European PCI DSS Level 1 vault focused on cardholder data and payments. Card data stays in EU data centres, tokens are portable across any processor, pricing is transparent interchange++ from 0.45%, and you can vault and acquire with one provider.
02 How is PCI Proxy different from Skyflow?
Skyflow is a general-purpose data privacy vault for many types of PII. PCI Proxy is payments-native: a card vault plus an optional acquiring engine, ready-made collection channels (hosted fields, SDKs, phone/MOTO, email links) and transparent interchange++ pricing — with 100% EU data residency.
03 Can I migrate my card tokens from Skyflow?
Yes. We run secure vault-to-vault migrations from any PCI-compliant provider, so existing cards move across as tokens with no downtime and no customer re-entry.
04 Does PCI Proxy reduce PCI scope like Skyflow?
Yes. Because raw card data never touches your servers, most merchants drop from SAQ D to SAQ A — the same scope reduction, with EU data residency, transparent pricing and a working payment flow.
