For higher invoice amounts – such as when purchasing a vehicle – Aufinity offers maximum flexibility: you can split the total amount effortlessly. This is possible both by combining different payment methods and by making several partial bank transfers (e.g. from different bank accounts). This allows you to avoid annoying daily limits imposed by your bank, save yourself time-consuming limit adjustments and always retain full control of the current payment status together with your seller.
💡 The essentials at a glance:
- Flexible combination: Distribute total amounts between different payment methods as you wish (e.g. €5,000 by bank transfer and €5,000 via direktbezahlen).
- No limit adjustment required: By splitting the amount into several partial payments, you often do not need to increase your daily bank transfer limit with your bank.
- Use different accounts: You can easily make partial bank transfers from different bank accounts (e.g. a partner’s or business account).
- Real-time overview: All partial payments are recorded transparently in the Aufinity portal and automatically reconciled with your overall transaction.
Step-by-step guide
- Open payment details: Open your personal payment invitation via the link in your email or SMS to access an overview of your transaction.
- Choose the first payment method: Select your preferred first payment method (e.g. direktbezahlen).
- Use the ‘Split amount’ option: Click the ‘Split amount’ button below the total amount displayed.
- Enter & confirm the partial amount: Enter the desired partial amount that you wish to pay using this payment method and complete the payment process.
- Pay the remaining amount: Then select a second payment method for the remaining amount (or make a standard bank transfer) and complete the process.
- Report standard partial bank transfers: If you pay the remaining or partial amount by standard bank transfer, click the ‘I have transferred the amount’ button afterwards to inform your seller immediately that the money has been sent.
📌 Important note: Check the payment methods enabled by the dealer in your overview beforehand. If you transfer partial amounts from different bank accounts, always make sure to copy the specified payment reference exactly. This ensures that each partial payment is automatically assigned to your transaction without delay.
