Sofort

What is Sofort?

Sofort, now part of Klarna, is a real-time online banking payment method popular in Europe, particularly in Germany and Austria. It allows customers to pay for online purchases using their own bank’s login details, with immediate confirmation for the merchant.

Why It Matters

• Provides a secure way to pay without sharing card details with the merchant

• Offers immediate payment confirmation, allowing for faster order processing

• Leverages the familiarity and trust of the customer’s own online banking environment

• Reduces the risk of payment defaults for merchants through real-time verification
