Advantages

  • Ease of use: The customer can go through the checkout without providing their payment method details - the merchant’s account number will be provided in the end and can be used to send the money via customer’s bank account.
  • High level of security: Customers usually cannot cancel bank transfers and therefore no payment interruptions should be expected.
  • Internationally supported: Customers from all around the world can transfer funds via prepayment.
