# How to Add Funds via Bank Transfer

## Top up your account balance with a bank transfer

### How to Add Funds via Bank Transfer

OpusDNS uses a pre-payment model. You must have sufficient balance to register domains, renew, or use paid services. Bank transfer is the recommended method to add funds.

#### **Where to Find It**

**Path:** Left sidebar → Settings → Payments

**Direct URL:** `/settings/payments`

#### **What You'll See**

A panel opens titled **"Transfer Funds"** with the description "Choose how to add funds to your account balance." Two options appear:

- **Bank Transfer** (labeled "Recommended") — "Transfer funds directly from your bank account."
- **SEPA Direct Debit** (labeled "Soon") — Not yet available.

Click **Bank Transfer** to see the transfer details.

#### **Bank Transfer Details Page**

The page shows your organization's specific banking details for the appropriate currency:

**Fields displayed:**

- **Bank** — The bank name
- **Account holder** — The account holder name
- **IBAN** — Your designated IBAN for transfers
- **BIC / SWIFT** — Bank identifier code
- **Reference** — "Customer number: \[your customer number\]" — **⚠️ This is critical! Always include this reference so your payment can be matched to your account.**
- **Address** — Bank address
- **Processing Time** — Estimated time until funds are credited
- **Additional Notes** — Any extra instructions

Each field has a copy button — click to copy the value to your clipboard (a "Copied" notification appears).

#### **Step-by-Step**

1. Navigate to **Settings** → **Billing** in the left sidebar.
2. On the **Current Balance** card, note your current balance. Click **"Add Funds"**.
3. Select **"Bank Transfer"**.
4. Copy the banking details (IBAN, BIC, reference) using the copy buttons.
5. In your banking app, create a transfer:

- **To:** The IBAN shown
- **Amount:** The amount you wish to add
- **Reference/Subject:** Your customer number as shown — **include this exactly**

1. Submit the transfer in your banking app.
2. Wait for processing — once received, your balance will be credited.

#### **Important Notes**

- **Always use the correct reference** (your customer number). Without it, matching your payment to your account can be delayed significantly.
- Processing time varies by bank and currency. The page shows the estimated time.
- The system note states: "The system is available to you as a 'Pre-Payment System' for immediate start. Top-ups can be made to the account listed below. Once we have received the money, we will credit you with the corresponding amount as quickly as possible."
- For billing questions, contact support via the support center (linked on the page).

#### **Alternative: Credit Card Top-Up**

If you have a credit card saved under Settings → Payments:

1. Click the **"Top-up"** button on your saved card.
2. Enter the amount.
3. Note: A **3.5% convenience fee** applies to credit card top-ups (your balance is credited with the amount minus the fee).
4. You may see a Stripe verification popup if your card requires 3D Secure.
