How do I pay on SCNX with a standing bank order (/ reoccurring bank transfer)?
- First, enable the subscription on SCNX. To do so, open the pricing page of your server and open the upgrade window. Next, select your payment interval and plan. When asked for a payment method, please select "Reoccurring Bank-Transfer". You'll be shown unique payment instructions and a unique IBAN.
- Next, set up the reoccurring wire transfer at your bank:
- Sparkasse
- Deutsche Bank
- Volksbanken / Raiffeisenbanken
- Commerzbank
- ING
- Hypovereinsbank
- BUNQ
- N26
- Revolut
- Your bank is not listed? Just google the name of your bank combined with "reoccurring wire transfer" (or " Dauerauftrag" in German) to find guides. If you are still having trouble, please reach out to your bank.
- Make sure all details match the details shown in your dashboard and confirm your reoccurring wire transfer with your bank.
- Enjoy your SCNX Subscription 🚀
How does SCNX know that I wired a bill?
When paying with wire transfer, you'll be assigned a custom IBAN on a virtual bank account. Every payment that arrives at that account will be credited towards your bills - the transaction reference is not required (but recommended for one-time purchases), as we can easily assign a payment to your account based on the IBAN the money was received on.
Wired too much money on accident? Don't worry: Your money will be automatically used for future payments.
My card was declined, but all my data is valid
Here are a few possible reasons why this is happening:
- Your card was issued in Russia / by a Russian bank
- Your card was issued in a nation affected by international sanctions / by a bank in such nation
- Your card has been involved in fraud previously
- The data your entered is invalid
- Our payment provider deemed your transaction as high-risk and has denied it
- Your card has been reported as stolen
- You card could not be verified using 3DS
Please contact our staff if you think none of these reasons apply.

We're registered in the European Union - we comply with laws like the General Data Processing Regulation (one of the most strict data protection laws). You can always request deletion of stored data, and we respect your privacy because we believe privacy is a human right. You can find our privacy policy here.
