EPS payments

Learn about EPS, a common payment method in Austria.

EPS is an Austria-based payment method that allows customers to complete transactions online using their bank credentials. EPS is supported by all Austrian banks and is accepted by over 80% of Austrian online retailers.

EPS redirects customers to their bank’s website to authenticate a payment and there is immediate notification about the success or failure of a payment.

Disputed payments

The risk of fraud or unrecognized payments is low because the customer must authenticate the payment with their bank. As a result, you won’t have disputes that turn into chargebacks, with funds withdrawn from your Stripe account.

Refunds

EPS payments can be refunded up to 180 days after the original payment date.
