Multibanco is the brand of the domestic payment system enabling Portuguese shoppers to pay for goods or services purchased online using ATMs or online banking. With Multibanco, payments are guaranteed to merchants and part of the very strong security of the system lies in the card holder verification performed at ATM or POS using the card PIN, while no card or banking information has to be shared when paying online.

How does Multibanco work?
With Dalenys, merchants wishing to offer Multibanco have a frictionless customer experience.
At check-out, the buyer selects Multibanco as a payment method and is provided by Dalenys with its Multibanco ordering details. He can go to an ATM or at a point of sale to enter his reference or connect to his online bank account to pay by bank transfer with the same order reference. In the case of the ATM, the latter automatically issues a receipt that acts as proof of payment.
