Direct Bank Deposit

[RodG]

Since the bank account info is included in the email, is it absolutely necessary to have it displayed during checkout?

No, not absolutely necessary, but *I* do a lot of online shopping, often using Direct Bank Deposit, and I get very frustrated/annoyed if the bank details aren't available to me during the checkout process.

Waiting on emails for this info is a PITA, especially if/when the emails take a while to arrive (often up to an hour or more).. Or worse, the emails never arrive at all.

My point being, is you need to make it easy for the customer to pay you, and not have them wait for an email that may or may not arrive.

I have no problems in making my Banking details 'publicly' available for this purpose, after all, people can only make use of them for deposits, not withdrawals.

Just my 5cents worth.

Cheers
