What DirectPay EU is.
DirectPay EU is an online bank-transfer method: customers complete a purchase from their bank account without using a credit or debit card.
The payment flow provides localised beneficiary, amount and reference information, so the customer can initiate the transfer through the available banking route. The order-specific reference helps connect the incoming payment with the merchant transaction.
For merchants, DirectPay EU adds a structured bank-payment route to checkout. It is particularly useful for invoice-style or higher-value purchases where customers prefer bank transfer.
The customer selects DirectPay EU and receives the local payment information for the order.
The checkout prepares beneficiary, amount and reference, so the customer has nothing to enter by hand.
The customer uses the supplied beneficiary, amount and reference to authorise the transfer through their bank.
The payment stays inside the customer’s own banking relationship and authentication.
A transaction-specific reference travels with the transfer, connecting the incoming payment to the merchant order.
Supports reconciliation between bank statement and order system, including invoice-style payments.
