SOFORT Banking now available through Limonetik to foster European expansion

PARIS - April 16, 2014 - PRLog -- The innovative payment system SOFORT Banking which was especially developed for e-commerce is proud to offer solutions which make the internet user’s life easier and establish new standards with advantageous conditions. Simpler and more comfortable than traditional transfer systems, neither opening of an additional bank account, an e-wallet nor a separate registration is required; the consumer just needs to use his personal identification codes from his online banking. The real time confirmation of the payment initiation to the e-merchant allows the merchant to immediately process the order.

Already widely used in many countries, like Germany, Austria and Switzerland, SOFORT Banking wants to increase its market share across Europe. Instantly available for e-merchants and PSPs (Payment Service Providers) connected to its platform, Limonetik has the advantage of being able to very quickly deploy this new payment method without impacting the back office of the merchants. "European users’ and merchants’ growing interest in the SOFORT Banking payment method serves to enrich other payment methods that we already offer our customers and PSP partners,” states Christophe Bourbier, president of Limonetik. “It’s also in the context of specific integrations on complex sites in tourism or on market places that our knowledge and role are fully realised.”

“There are already over 25,000 online stores which carry out more then three million transactions per month with SOFORT Banking,” explains Dr. Gerrit Seidel, CEO SOFORT AG. “Our integration on the Limonetik platform is for us an opportunity to accelerate our development on the French market but also in Europe.”

For Christophe Bourbier, “By linking SOFORT Banking to our SaaS enriched online payment orchestration platform, we are establishing our key role as a facilitator of integrating payment methods on the e-commerce market in Europe.”
