A customer adds an item to their online shopping cart and proceeds to the checkout page.
They select the “Pay by Bank” payment option and then their own personal bank from the menu.
To authenticate the payment, they simply validate using their existing login credentials via their online banking platform.
Once authenticated, the payment is sent directly from the customer’s bank to the company’s account.
The customer is returned to the payment page and the transaction is completed.
“The launch of Pay by Bank is part of our ongoing cycle of technology investment that helps us keep our customers on the cutting edge,” said
