| Description                 | Bank debits pull funds directly from the customer's bank account. Customers provide their bank account information and agree to a mandate to debit their account. | Bank redirects add a layer of verification to complete a bank debit payment. Instead of entering their bank account information, customers are redirected to provide their online banking credentials to authorize the payment. | Credit transfers allow customers to push funds from their bank account to the merchant's. Customers are provided with the bank account information they should send funds to. |
