Bank Link is an easy payment option for online shopping clients. Clients can pay for their purchases immediately by being directed to their Internet Bank, where they fill out a pre-populated payment order. Bank Link means that clients have paid for the goods and services even before the order gets to you.

You can do the following with Bank Link:

  • offer your clients a simple and convenient payment method
  • increase sales by offering the option to pay immediately
  • reduce payment risks as clients prepay
  • make personal clients through client authentication
  • identify clients
     

Online shopping is safe

  • The connection between the bank and the buyer is protected by the SSL information security protocol, which does not allow for information to be changed or unauthorised persons to access the line.
  • The information that moves between the bank and the merchant is confirmed with digital signatures.
