​
Why ZBD Payments?

​
The Problem with Traditional Payments

Card Networks:
  • Minimum ~$0.30 fee per transaction
  • Can’t send 0.10c when fees are 0.30c
  • Chargebacks eat profits
  • High decline rates
ZBD Payments:
  • Send amounts as low as $0.001
  • Proportional fees (typically < 1%)
  • No chargebacks
  • Near 100% success rate
