eps-Überweisung
General information
The online payment method eps-Überweisung is based on the technical standard eps (e-payment standard). eps-Überweisung is an open and standardized XML interface between online-shops, E-Government, public institutions and banks which offer the eps interface to initiate irrevocable online payments. eps-Überweisung allows consumers to make online payments via their online banking applications.
eps-Überweisung is offered by Austrian banks as a convenient and secure online payment method or e-payment in online shops or E-Government processes. Consumers who select eps-Überweisung as payment method for an online purchase are directed to their online banking system. After a successful login, a form will open on eps-Überweisung containing the transfer order for the consumer’s bank. All relevant details of the purchase such as amount, reason for payment, consumer details and the transfer execution date are already filled in. All the consumer needs to do is authorize the transaction, e.g. using a TAN (transaction authentication code). Once the transfer order was accepted by the consumer’s bank, you receive a confirmation and may dispatch the goods instantly.
Please visit eps-Überweisung for more information and details.

Integration information
To integrate and offer the payment method eps-Überweisung for your consumers in your online shop, you have to conclude and sign an eps merchant contract with your account-holding bank. If you have stated Wirecard as your payment service provider, Wirecard will receive a PIN letter containing the PIN which is required by our support teams to complete the configuration of your Wirecard merchant account. If you did not state Wirecard as your payment service provider, you need to forward this PIN letter to us.
Please make sure that Wirecard receives this PIN since otherwise your merchant configuration cannot be finished.
Besides the PIN we also need to know the IBAN and BIC of your bank account(s) for configuration purposes.
Once these procedures are completed and your account has been successfully configured by Wirecard, all banks participating in the eps-Überweisung scheme will be made available automatically to your consumers.
Please contact your account-holding bank to obtain any additional information you might need.
