Why bank payments, not cards?
Lower transaction fees
When someone pays with a card, multiple parties get involved. Each one takes a cut, and it all adds up.
Bank payments are collected directly from an account - passing the cost saving onto you.
Less manual admin
Save time on the admin that comes with card payments. Automate payments with GoCardless and track everything in one place.
Fewer payment failures
Cards expire, get lost and cancelled, resulting in failed payments. Bank payments are automated and bank accounts never expire and cannot be lost, so you can collect more payments successfully.
Payers trust bank payments
With bank payments, your customers don't have to remember to pay you. Instead, everyone gets a secure, reliable payment method and peace of mind.
