Digital Payment Acceptance

The capability to say yes to customers when they’re ready to pay. 

Accept card payments or donations, anytime. Online, in-app, or over the phone. 

Autobooks and your financial institution, working together to help you get paid. 

Managing a small business can be overwhelming. When you accept digital payments through your financial institution, funds go into one place where they’re always easy to track: your checking account.

Get paid the way that works for your business. 

Flexibility matters. Take a payment in-person or over the phone, or share a link via text or QR code. It’s up to you, and how you do business on any given day.

Customer payments don’t belong in a separate app. 

Accept payments directly into your account — in the same place you take care of your business banking. And never worry about forgetting those funds in a virtual wallet.

Processing fees should be easy to understand. 

Knowing up front what you will pay to accept payments from customers is important. No matter what card your customer uses, the processing fees are the same.
