Why Do I Get a 3% Discount When Paying by Bank Transfer?

Last updated on Aug 22, 2026

If you noticed that paying by bank transfer gives you a 3% discount, you’re absolutely right. Below we explain how this works and why bank transfer payments are cheaper compared to credit card payments.

What is the bank transfer discount?

When you choose to pay via bank transfer, you receive an automatic 3% discount on your booking total.

This discount is applied because bank transfers cost less to process than credit card payments.


Why is bank transfer cheaper than credit card payment?

Credit card payments involve additional processing costs, including:

  • Card network fees (Visa, Mastercard, etc.)
  • Bank and payment gateway fees

Bank transfers, on the other hand:

  • Have lower transaction fees
  • Do not involve card networks
  • Are more cost-efficient to process

Because of these savings, we’re able to pass part of the cost reduction directly on to you as a 3% discount.


Is paying by bank transfer safe?

Yes. Bank transfers are a secure and widely used payment method, especially in Europe. Payments are handled through trusted banking systems and must be authorized by you via your bank.


Does bank transfer affect my booking?

Not at all.

Your flight booking, ticket conditions, and included services remain exactly the same, regardless of how you pay.

When booking with Levitours, the only difference is the price you pay.
