How does it work?

SOFORT is a threshold-lowering payment method for customers that allows them to quickly and easily make payments for online purchases using online banking details. The payment method meets the highest security standards and protects sensitive (personal) data. It is important to note that although SOFORT is a direct payment method, unlike iDEAL it is not a guaranteed payment method.
