Advantages

  • Ease of use: The customer can go through the checkout without providing their payment method details - the merchant’s account number, which is actually an Unzer trusted bank account will be used to make the payment. The account details will be provided to the merchant and used to create the invoice.
  • Supported by all banks offering bank transfer to a German bank account: The Bank account which we provide as the merchant’s account is in fact a bank account held by Unzer.
