4. After returning to the e-shop page, your payment is complete, and your purchase is finished. 

Safety First 
The payment goes directly from your bank account to the merchant's bank account. Funds do not travel through any intermediary, which eliminates all potential problems. Your data is secured by bank encryption. In addition, we never store data about your balances and transactions, only the essential data is stored. 

Financial Data within the EU 
Unlike card payments. no payment-related data leaves the territory of the European Union. 

Higher Limits 
Higher daily payment limits compared to debit or credit card payments due to increased security. 

Instant Payments 
Unlike a regular bank transfer, the merchant receives information about a successful payment instantly, right after you authorize the payment. 

Speed and Simplicity 
To make payments easier for you in the future, you have to remember the account from which you make the payment. This ensures that you no longer have to enter all your login details for subsequent payments. This data is stored on your device, nowhere else. 

Support for European Banks 
Do you have a bank account abroad? No problem, you can make your payment from any European bank which we currently support. 

Everifin is a proud partner of brands like Invia, Rohlík, Exisport, Andrea Shop, and many others. 

How does Everifin - Fast Bank Transfer work? 
You can find all the information and step-by-step videos on the payment process in your bank here.  

What do I need for the payment? 
Considering that the payment takes place directly in your bank's environment, you will need login data. Some banks then require subsequent payment confirmation with a second factor (mobile token, SMS). Entering passwords takes place directly in the bank, Everifin, nor your merchant or store can ever access your login data. 

I didn't find my bank 
The vast majority of banks are supported, and we are still working on expanding coverage. If you still haven't found your bank, let us know about this by using the option "I didn't find my bank", where you then enter its name. 

What is Everifin? 
Everifin is a payment gateway from Usability Engineering Center s.r.o., which is licensed as a payment institution by the National Bank of Slovakia

Everifin Paygate - Fast Bank Transfer

After the European Parliament approved mandatory instant payments, I've had a few conversations where the following question came up: 

"Why would any merchant need an open banking provider when payments are instant?"

The short answer is: instant payments are open banking's best friend. And yes, merchants still need open banking providers.

Let's unpack the topic a bit more. The term "instant payments" really means instant settlement. Bank transfers - whether initiated from online banking or through a third party via open banking - physically arrive at the recipient's bank account within 10 seconds, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. The cost of such a bank transfer may not exceed the cost of an ordinary bank transfer. Many banks already provide this service, and over the next few years, the remaining ones will be pushed to do so. First in EUR, later in all other EEA currencies.

Even when banks on both ends of the transaction support instant payments, not every transaction can be settled instantly. Only about 17% of volumes are processed instantly. Why? Mainly because banks are extra cautious. With instant settlement, the transaction is immediately final. There is no time to investigate it if it gets marked as risky, and no way to reverse it if it turns out to be fraudulent. Therefore, banks have introduced transaction limits, daily limits, cross-border limits, and stricter risk evaluation.

In this situation, it is very hard to predict whether the payment I wish to initiate can really be settled instantly or not. For example, Tatra banka (part of Raiffeisen Bank International) in Slovakia has a limit of 3,000 EUR. On the other hand, banks in the Netherlands can go up to 100,000 EUR.

Merchants obviously cannot rely on all payments being instant anytime soon. But let's imagine we live in a world where it happened. How would consumers like to pay? Likely on their smartphones and using biometry. If they started the purchase on the merchant's mobile web or app, they expect that (1) the eshop sends the data to their bank, (2) the authorization app is automatically opened, (3) payment authorization with FaceID, and finally (4) automated return to the eshop where confirmation is displayed. No typing, no QR code scanning.

This experience with sending data to the bank without typing and scanning is only possible with a payments provider such as Everifin. Oh, and we also take care of important details like downgrading to standard payment when instant payment cannot be used, repeating a payment from a different bank account when the balance on the first one is low, communication with the bank when it rejected a payment, refunds back to the consumer, etc.

Refunds deserve a blog post of their own. Instant refunds are really a game-changer in many industries. Retail shops, insurance claims, crypto-exchange fiat withdrawals - nobody wants to wait 24 hours to get their money. And merchants considering automation should do it with a partner who has the expertise and can offer integrations with multiple banks.
