How it works

Secure payments for your customers

Bank debits allow you to pull funds directly from your customer’s bank account for one-off or recurring payments. To initiate a bank debit, a customer provides their bank account details during checkout and gives you permission to debit the account by agreeing to a mandate. SEPA Direct Debit gives your buyers a secure option at checkout.

  • Convenient checkout for all customers with an EU or UK bank account.
  • Built-in mandate collection makes it easy to get customer authorisation.
  • Available in 34 countries across the EU, and the UK.
