You can link a bank card to Mangopay. This enables you to pay the seller immediately or to add money directly to your account. This provides a time savings compared to a credit via bank transfer (which is only available to members using the EURO).
For security purposes, we must process a debit transaction (for example, for €1.00) when you add a credit card or a Maestro card. This transaction is followed by a refund transaction. However, depending on your bank, the refund can take up to 10 business days. The transaction will be transparent in most cases and will not appear in your bank statement. Some banks do, however, sometimes show these pre-authorisations. They may appear on your statements.
