Payment Methods

GlobalCollect offers an unrivalled portfolio of payment methods. These can be added to or replace the payment methods you currently support and are key success factors to expand your reach and increase your revenue:

• Credit and debit cards - International cards in up to 167 local currencies: Visa,  MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club International, Discover, Maestro International, and JCB. Local cards accepted are: Maestro (United Kingdom), Solo (United Kingdom), Laser (Ireland), Carte Bleue (France), Dankort (Denmark) and Discover (United States), as well as over 40 local Chinese debit cards.
  
  
• Direct debits - Supporting direct debits in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and soon the United States. 
  
  
• Bank transfers (Local Wire Transfer) and bill payments - GlobalCollect accepts local bank transfers in over 66 countries without you as a merchant needing to have a local presence or to open local bank accounts.  This network also allows shoppers in these countries to pay via local wire transfers, avoiding the high fees of similar cross-border transactions. In Australia we offer bPay billing.
  
  
• Virtual bank accounts - In select markets (currently Japan, Korea, and Taiwan), GlobalCollect is able to generate a unique account number in addition to a unique reference number, improving the rate of automatically matched payments and enhancing the customer experience.
  
  
• Real-time bank transfers - Real-time bank transfer facilitates immediate online authorization of available funds. It offers quick settlement and security for you as a merchant as payments are non-reversible as well as security for consumers (as it works via their own online bank application). It is also more cost-effective for higher value transactions. GlobalCollect provides real-time bank transfer packages as follows:  Sofortuberweisung/DirectPay24 and Giropay in Germany, iDEAL in the Netherlands, Nordea Solo in Sweden, Finland, and Denmark, ING HomePay in Belgium, eCard in Poland and eNETS in Singapore. In the near future, GlobalCollect will also support Danske Bank Netbetaling in Denmark, Aktia and Sampo in Finland, Interac Online in Canada, POLi in Australia and Secure Vault Payment in the United States.
  
  
• eWallets - Using an electronic virtual wallet, consumers can upload money to an account and pay (and receive) funds online. GlobalCollect supports PayPal, WebMoney, cashU, and Moneybookers.
  
  
• Prepaid cards and vouchers - GlobalCollect offers both prepaid vouchers as well as card systems. These can be purchased by customers at brick-and-mortar locations and then be used to pay for orders online. GlobalCollect currently accepts Wallie, Ukash, and Paysafecard.
  
  
• Cash payments - GlobalCollect offers cash and bill payments worldwide through the extensive Western Union network, Chinese post offices, Boleto Bancário in Brazil, Pago Fácil in Argentina and Barcode Santander in Chile.
  
  
• Checks - Paper-based checks remain a popular way to pay in some countries. Due to GlobalCollect's large network of local bank accounts, it is able to clear checks from around the world in 35+ local currencies.
