Features and benefits

DEFT Auction Pay removes the need for cheques when purchasing a property, at auction and by private treaty, by giving buyers the convenience of paying their deposit electronically.1

Easy and flexible

No need to increase bank transfer limits – if the buyer has the available funds in their account, the payment can be made.

 

Instant confirmation

Agents and buyers receive an immediate payment confirmation email for peace of mind.

Easy reconciliation

Accounts teams don’t need to wait for sales information to be provided by agents – they’ll receive an email receipt.

 

Secure

No need to share sales trust account details or rely on screenshots as proof of payment.

How it works
