Why We Built ZeroPay
ZeroPay was built to bring the USSD mPayment to the Technology age and we noticed these factors during our research :
- Limited number of people use e-mail as compared to telephone
- You don’t need a Credit/ Debit Card to use Zeropay because we have a Voucher system to load your account for any kind of payments
- Limited number of people have bank accounts due to the latest bank charges
- Credit/Debit Card Fraud is now increasingly disturbing and before the banks approve you to use their API they Charge heavy setup cost plus commission per transaction.
- Internet usage on mobile phones is on the increase compare to Desktop or Laptop computer.
- The power for anybody to accept payment as a merchant or customer is giving to everyone. Everybody is special on ZeroPay.
- Heavy Charge back and Credit Card Fraud with dispute resolution sometime leads to some fees on arbitration.
- The nightmare of bank holding your money for 6 month without the possibility of you getting your money back after arbitration All these and more led to changing our core concept from e-mail to telephone payment .
ZeroPay is the next bridge to people who don’t have bank accounts or credit card but still wants to do business online. Research tell us that; USA alone looses about $21 Billion in identity theft , credit card fraud etc as seen here http://www.statisticbrain.com/identity-theft-fraud-statistics/
Imagine if Visa or MasterCard is replaced with ZeroPay by creating a onetime disposable virtual card to pay for goods and services online.
Merchant will feel safe knowing they don’t need charge backs after 3 months from customers claiming their card was stolen.
