What is Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) ?
Basically, EFT is nothing but automated electronic transfers between
bank accounts. Since almost everyone has a bank account, it is the most
widely supportable (sometimes even the most commonly used) payment method.
It works for collecting (direct debits) as well as for disbursing
money (direct deposits / credits).
Transactions are exchanged and processed thru each country's local clearing
sytem (ACH, BACS etc.).
EFT can elegantly replace litterally any other payment method like checks,
money orders, in- and outgoing manual wire transfers and, of course,
credit cards with their high discount fees.
