Start & Go

Start & Go is a Rabobank payment method that guarantees payment for every transaction even when the final amount is unknown. When the transaction is initiated, Start & Go temporarily reserves funds (with a predefined limit) in the user’s bank account and after the final transaction amount is provided, the reservation is automatically converted into a confirmed booking and the funds are transferred immediately into your account.

You can easily integrate this API into your applications allowing your users to seamlessly initiate transactions from within your app.
