EPS is the creation of Austria’s major banking institutions to solve the problem of secure and efficient electronic payments. Its widespread adoption across the region is a testament to EPS’ success. We’ve compiled a shortlist of pros and cons when buying proxies online using EPS payments.
If you have an Austrian account and are interested in buying proxies, EPS has several advantages over other payment types, including:
Immediate feedback
EPS payments are processed in real-time, offering you immediate notification of a successful transaction. This timeliness is particularly useful if you renew a subscription or are on a tight schedule that requires a fast turnaround.
The transaction instantly appears in your history, enabling you to review the payment details without waiting. This instantaneous accounting is one of EPS’ greatest strengths, as it lets you know exactly where your money is going at all times.
A “no card” option
Even though EPS is marketed as a debit card payment solution, it does not require a bank debit card to function. You can transfer funds directly from an account to make payments without needing a card for authentication.
EPS handles check cashing and Automatic Clearing House (ACH) payments for a complete transaction solution system. This feature makes EPS very attractive for those looking for efficient, secure, and easy payments when bulk ordering proxy services online.
While there aren’t many downsides to the EPS payment system, there may be a few negatives to note in some situations.
Limited recurring payment support
Not all merchant systems support recurring payments for EPS. Check with your bank and proxy provider to ensure that they can process repeat payments if you use the feature.
Transaction limits
Depending on your needs, you might encounter limits on total daily transactions or funds. Make sure to have a clear understanding of any restrictions before proceeding.
