Reduce failed payments

GoCardless collects approximately 97.3% of payments successfully the first time. Success+ schedules payment retries on the best day for each customer.

10–15% of card payments fail

10–15% of all credit and debit card payments fail because cards are lost, expire, or are rejected by issuing banks. Each failed payment needs to be retried and rectified. That adds to the busy work of collecting payments.

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