Sofortüberweisung

German to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
online shop - methods of payment

Kreditkarte, Sofortüberweisung, PayPal, Vorkasse

Bei Zahlung per Kreditkarte / PayPal / ***Sofortüberweisung***/ wird deine Karte nach der Bestellung der Ware belastet.

Am I right in thinking that this is called "Sofort banking", a service provided by the following company - www.sofort.de?
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): philgoddard

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

It looks like the company has hijacked the word "sofort"!

What is DIRECTebanking.com
DIRECTebanking.com, also known as sofortüberweisung.de and formerly known as directpay24, is the unique online payment system offered in Germany that allows customers to use their internet banking facility to pay for purchases online, just as they do with a credit or debit card. Shortly DIRECTebanking.com will be offered in most important European countries as well.
NETBANX offers DIRECTebanking.com as an additional payment option to its merchants
At NETBANX we know the German market and we know that not everyone wants to use their credit card online. That’s why we offer DIRECTebanking.com, ELV and giropay as additional payment options, opening your business to two thirds of German online shoppers and allowing your customers to pay in their preferred way.
