Reduce failed payments

With GoCardless, around 97.3% of payments are successfully collected first try. And if any do fail, Success+ schedules another attempt on the best day for each customer.

10–15% of card payments fail

On average, 10–15% of all credit and debit card payments will fail because of lost, stolen or expired cards – and every failed payment needs to be retried and rectified, adding to your admin burden.

GoCardless stops those awkward conversations with clients, it saves time and it obviously helps cash flow – that’s a huge thing!”

Improve your payment success rate with GoCardless

GoCardless is built on Direct Debit, a bank-to-bank payment method. Unlike cards, bank accounts don’t expire, so customer details rarely need updating. That’s partly why only 2.5% of Direct Debits fail on the first attempt.

Optimise your payments with Success+

If a payment does fail on the first try, you still have a 76% chance of success thanks to Success+. Just sit back and let Success+ schedule another attempt on the best day for each customer.
