What’s changing

Previously, there were two ways to pay for an online purchase using the PostFinance Card. With the payment methods “PostFinance Card” and “PostFinance e-finance”, you could select your preferred way to pay. You would confirm the authentication of an online payment using the PostFinance App, a card reader or with Mobile ID.

With PostFinance Pay, these payment methods are gradually being combined, and the features enhanced. This new payment process does not require your card number or a card reader. With PostFinance Pay, you can confirm transactions and payment method registrations online with ease using the PostFinance App.
