POLi is a popular online payment solution that allows customers to make secure and convenient online purchases directly from their bank accounts. Unlike other online payment methods that require credit card details or the creation of accounts, POLi facilitates transactions using existing online banking credentials. This makes it a particularly attractive option for customers who prioritize security and privacy, and a valuable tool for merchants seeking a reliable and efficient payment gateway. Its simple interface and direct bank transfer mechanism contribute to its growing popularity in the e-commerce landscape.
For Customers: When a customer chooses POLi at checkout, they're redirected to their online bank's secure login page. After logging in, they review the transaction details and authorize the payment directly within their banking environment. No sensitive information is shared with the merchant. The payment is then processed, and the customer is redirected back to the merchant's website to complete the purchase.
For Merchants: Merchants integrate POLi's payment gateway into their e-commerce platform. Once a customer selects POLi as their payment method, the system handles the secure authorization and transfer of funds from the customer's bank account to the merchant's account. Merchants receive a confirmation of payment, allowing for efficient order fulfillment.
Direct Bank Transfer: Funds are transferred directly from the customer's bank account, minimizing fraud risks.
Secure Payment Process: Transactions are processed through secure banking channels, enhancing security.
No Account Registration Required: Customers don't need to create a POLi account to make payments.
Wide Bank Compatibility: Supports a wide range of major banks in supported regions.
Easy Integration: Relatively easy integration into various e-commerce platforms.
Real-time Payment Confirmation: Merchants receive near-instantaneous confirmation of payments.
POLi prioritizes security through several measures:
Direct Bank Integration: Transactions are processed directly within the customer's secure banking environment.
Encryption: Data transmission is protected using industry-standard encryption protocols.
Fraud Prevention: POLi employs advanced fraud detection and prevention technologies.
Compliance: Adheres to stringent data security and privacy regulations.
POLi is primarily available in Australia and New Zealand, with potential expansion into other markets. (Always check the official POLi website for the most up-to-date list of supported countries).
Transaction fees for POLi vary depending on the merchant's agreement with POLi. It's essential to contact POLi directly or your payment gateway provider for the most accurate and current fee structure.
Enhanced Security: Reduces fraud risk due to direct bank transfers.
Increased Customer Trust: Customers feel more secure using familiar banking platforms.
