Merchant Security
POLi protects you and your customers.
Overview of POLi
POLi is able to provide consumers a convenient and affordable method of payment by operating a proxy. The proxy service means that the customers are simply accessing their original bank site via the POLi servers.
The proxy enables us to confirm the fate of the transaction upon payment completion to allow the merchant to provision the goods or services immediately.
