Alternative Payment Solution: ELV
Powered by
All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
Elektronisches Lastschriftverfahren (ELV) is an electronic direct debit system in Germany. Launched in the 1980s by a group of merchants, it accounted for 7.0% of all non-cash transaction volume in Germany in 2017.
It is a popular payment solution in Germany for both in-store and online payments, and is an alternative payment option for customers who do not like using credit cards online to pay for products or services.
In-store ELV payments are made using debit cards that contain the necessary bank details. The system allows retailers to initiate an automated direct debit transaction at the point of sale (POS) terminal, and the amount is debited from the customer’s bank account.
ELV can also be used as a payment option by e-retailers. Payments are not authorized by issuing banks, and merchants have to bear the risk of defaults.
ELV payments are accepted by most banks in Germany, as well as by a number of payment service providers (PSPs), including Worldpay, Skrill, Elavon, Ingenico, Adyen, Six Payment Services, emerchantpay and Wirecard.
