Common questions

Atoa and BriizPay both do pay-by-bank. What is actually different?

The pricing model. Atoa charges a percentage of each payment, quoted to your business rather than published, so your cost rises with your takings. BriizPay publishes a flat monthly fee with payments included, so the cost of getting paid stays the same as you grow. Both settle bank to bank with no card machine.

Why does a flat fee matter if pay-by-bank is already cheaper than cards?

A percentage of a growing number is still a growing number. Halving a card fee still scales with your sales; a flat fee does not. The bigger your takings, the more the difference compounds.
