Sofort is short form for the German instant bank transfer company Sofortüberweisung. The name literally translates into English as ‘immediately’. The Sofort payment method creates a direct connection between you, Casino.com, and your bank. The system eliminates the need for third-party financial institutions and this gives customers primarily two advantages. Firstly, the transaction is lightning fast. The system creates a direct link to the bank so the transaction can be verified, and a confirmation can be sent to the merchant faster than other systems. Secondly, the processing fees and hidden costs are minimal or, at times, non-existent. There are no third-party companies that take their share of the transaction as payment for their services.
It is for these reasons that Sofort is preferred amongst German Casino.com players as they withdraw and deposit funds with the cashier. Online casinos deposits typically involve large amounts of money and consumers generally prefer a payment method that is reliable, fast and involves as few steps as possible. Sofort gives our German players exactly this. Its payment system is among the fastest in the world and it is networked with almost every major bank in Germany, giving customers a wide range of choices. It is slowly replacing credit cards and debit cards as the primary mode of payment at online casino portals.
