Definition

A "Pull credit Transfer" is when the authentication is done by the payer (mandatory) and the trigger is done by the payee.

Why a pull credit transfer

The basic Credit Transfer was designed to transfer funds form account to account. When credit transfer need to be link smoothly with a purchase, it is more operationnal for the merchant to trigger the payment, even if it is a few seconds after the authentication (and acceptation) of the payer.

Thus, the merchant could access the same functions he already have with card systems:

  • differ the fund transfer itself until the delivery is under process
  • decrease the amount
