EPS

Intro
EPS (Electronic Payment Standard) is an Austrian online banking payment method.
Officially supported by the Austrian government, your customers benefit from a dense network of participating banks and online merchants. The combination of a straightforward payment flow, easy integration and real-time bank transfer processing make EPS is the most popular payment method for bank transfers in Austria.
You redirect your customers to their online bank where they log in to their online bank account. They authenticate the bank transfer for which you receive an immediate result.
The integration is very easy, as you only need to send a standard request to our platform.
