This article provides you with information regarding EFT payments
You are able to pay you invoices using EFT, however EFT is becoming a bit outdated as the process is painfully slow from bank to bank. To avoid service suspensions we highly recommend using instant EFT as a payment method If you are unable to use preferred methods like Credit card or Debit order.
Choosing instant EFT as a payment method does not save your bank login details to our system because you are redirected to your bank’s website as soon as you choose this payment method.

How does the system allocate my Manual EFT payments?
The EFT facility is designed to assign the payments to the oldest unpaid invoice on your account. This would include unpaid domain renewal invoices. This could present problems if you have old unpaid invoices.
TIP: We do not recommend using normal EFT payments for the reason that it’s a manual process and the funds takes 3-4 days to reflect on our end. Please see Why is my services still suspended after the payment was made?
