Visa / MasterCard / Maestro
Visa, MasterCard, and Maestro are some of the most widely used and secure payment methods globally. These credit and debit cards offer a reliable way to make online payments. After completing your payment, you will receive your code immediately via email.
Security and Protection
To prevent fraud and ensure the security of online payments, these cards utilize 3D Secure technology. 3D Secure adds an extra layer of protection by verifying the cardholder's identity before approving a payment. This verification process may involve entering a special code, a password, or using biometric methods such as a fingerprint or facial recognition.
At Gamecardsdirect.com, you can shop with confidence, as we only accept payments that have been verified through 3D Secure. This additional security layer ensures that your online payments are processed as safely as possible, allowing you to shop worry-free.

Bank transfer
Bank transfer is an international payment method, making it accessible to everyone. When you choose to pay by bank transfer, you will receive an email from Pay.nl containing our bank details. The processing time for bank transfers is typically 1-5 business days, and the code will only be sent to you once the payment has been credited to our account.
Processing Time
The speed of the transaction depends on the bank and the country from which the payment is made. We often find that payments from outside the Netherlands take longer to process. While many international payments are processed relatively quickly, they are unfortunately not immediate.
Important Instructions
You will need to manually transfer the payment according to the instructions provided. It is crucial to enter all the details accurately, as any errors may prevent the payment from being linked to your order, resulting in automatic cancellation and a refund to your account. If you choose not to complete the payment, the order will also be automatically canceled.
When a customer selects the bank transfer payment method, they are immediately and automatically redirected to our payment screen. This screen provides all the necessary information to complete the payment. After the payment is made, it takes at least one business day for the funds to be credited to the account of Stichting Pay.nl. Using the unique payment reference, we can then link the order to the correct merchant and update the status to "paid."
SEPA Transfers
Since the introduction of the SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) standard, the term "European transfer" has become widely used. This is also known as a "SEPA transfer" or "Euro payment." With SEPA transfers, money can be transferred between euro accounts throughout Europe, facilitated by the use of a uniform bank account number known as the IBAN (International Bank Account Number).

How It Works
Customers using Bancontact have a payment card with a card number and an expiration date. These details need to be entered on the payment screen during checkout. The payment is then authorized through the customer's online banking environment, typically using a device like a 'digipas' for added security.
Bancontact is highly secure and efficient, ensuring that the payment is processed almost immediately. Once the payment is completed, you will receive your code via email. This makes Bancontact an ideal payment method for anyone shopping online in Belgium.
