About Sofort

General information about Sofort

Sofort is a method of bank transfers and is based on online banking. A big advantage is: The customer doesn’t need to register and does not need to create a virtual account, a so called wallet. As the name suggests it is an immediate bank transfer and thus a direct bank transfer. The customer selects Sofort as payment method for their online purchase and is then forwarded to the secure payment form. The bank transfer data is transferred automatically and the customer only has to select his or her bank and enter their login details for online banking. Finally he releases the bank transfer by means of an approval code. All data is send encrypted to the online banking account. The online merchant receives a real-time confirmation of the executed bank transfer. The merchant can execute and dispatch the order immediately delivering goods/services faster. There is no waiting time until the dispatch of the goods like it would be for example in the case of prepayment via bank transfer.

As usual with online banking, the data disclosed in Sofort are encrypted with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).
