How does it work for the user?

When the user chooses Pay Now as payment system, they are redirected to the Pay Now payment page. Here they will find a recap of the order and can choose his bank from a list of authorized banks.

Once the user has chosen a bank, the user has to insert the same bank account login (user and password) they are used to, and finally a SMS or device pin, if requested.

Even if this results in a bank transfer, the outcome of the operation is immediate.
