Tom from GoCardless here.
We currently accept UK bank-to-bank payments - customers enter their account number and sort code on the checkout page. We'll work on making this clearer on our landing page - thanks for the feedback. We'll be rolling out across Europe in the next few months.
GoCardless is particularly good for subscriptions & regular variable payments, as we're based on the UK direct debit network.
- sc00ter 15y agoBank accounts and sort codes are not particularly secure - I might for example give these out to someone making a payment to me, and some businesses publish this information as a matter of course. What additional checks do you undertake to ensure that the person using the service to make a payment is the owner of the bank account in question? (I'm not saying Credit Cards are perfect, but they do allow for a lot of additional information to be verified to confirm the cardholder.)
- tomblomfield 15y agoWe work with the banks and a number of third-party identity-checking providers to verify that the bank details match the identify given. There's also a lot of additional stuff going on to match the person at the keyboard with the identity provided. It's worth noting that there's a very strong consumer guarantee in case of fraud: http://www.bacs.co.uk/bacs/businesses/directdebit/collecting/pages/customersrights.aspx http://www.bacs.co.uk/bacs/businesses/directdebit/collecting...
