Why pay by bank can cost less

Pay by bank lets a customer pay straight from their bank account instead of using a card: they pick their bank, approve the exact amount in their banking app, and the money is usually sent by Faster Payments within seconds. There are no card numbers to type or store, and fees are often lower than card fees.

The trade-offs

Customers don't get card-style chargeback rights, and not everyone is used to paying this way yet. Many businesses offer it alongside cards rather than instead of them, which is why this calculator asks what share of customers you expect to switch.
