Telecom & utilities

Airtime is instant. Payment is final after the required network confirmations.

Telecom and utility sellers deliver value the instant a payment clears, which is precisely why card companies treat the category as elevated fraud risk and hold funds back. A payment the customer sends, final after the required network confirmations, removes the exposure that the reserve was there to cover.

Why this category gets penalised

The problem is the gap between paying and delivering.

Instant delivery, delayed settlement

Airtime, data and service credit are consumed immediately and cannot be recovered afterwards. Card companies price that irreversibility as fraud exposure, with reserves and delayed funding attached to it.

A wallet payment is treated as final only after the required network confirmations, so delivering instantly no longer means carrying weeks of exposure for it.

Chargebacks on value already used

A disputed top-up cannot be un-spent. On card rails the funds are pulled back regardless, and the fee lands whichever way the case goes.

There are no card-network chargebacks on wallet payments, and Zoyn does not reverse a settled transfer once it confirms. For card payments, your payment provider handles card disputes with the cardholder's bank.

Reseller, distributor and operator shares

Distribution in this category is layered, and each layer is normally paid out of a pooled settlement days later, once someone has worked out who is owed what.

Each payment settles to your wallet, final, at confirmation, so distribution partners can be paid on timing you control, from your own wallet.

Cross-border collection for customers abroad

Someone paying for service in another country hits declines, an FX spread, and multi-day settlement before the credit can be applied.

Payment is by card in the countries listed on our Markets page, or crypto, on a hosted checkout, and USDC settles to a wallet you control.

How it works

One payment, settled to a wallet you control.

How a payment settles through ZoynA customer pays a payment link. The payment reaches a settlement contract, which divides it in fixed proportions set when it was deployed and pays the merchant’s own wallet and the platform fee directly. Zoyn sits outside the flow of funds.CustomerHostedcheckoutSplitcontractYour walletPlatform feeZoyn (config)Funds never pass through Zoyn
1

Create the top-up or service link

A fixed amount per bundle, plan period, or account reference.

2

Customer pays card or crypto

Hosted checkout accepts both, and card-funded payments are handled by the checkout provider — card data never reaches you. Card availability depends on the buyer's location, currency, and available checkout providers.

3

Your share is fixed up front

The shares are fixed when your payments are set up: your share and the platform fee. Every payment follows them exactly, and each one can be checked on a public record.

4

USDC settles to your wallet

Final after the required network confirmations, into wallets you control.

Coverage

Where we can onboard you today.

Your type of business

Businesses in this group can apply. You pick your exact type of business when you apply, and every application is reviewed.

Jurisdictions we cannot serve

We cannot onboard merchants operating from comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions. A US state stays open when at least one checkout partner still serves buyers there. We do not hold ourselves out as licensed anywhere.

Wallet addresses you'll be paid to are checked against sanctions lists when you enter them, and re-checked every day after that.

Common questions

What telecom & utilities merchants ask first.

Can customers pay a monthly bill automatically?

Not through Zoyn today. Each payment is a fixed-amount link rather than a stored credential on a schedule, so automatic bill collection stays with your existing setup. What Zoyn suits is one-off top-ups, bundles, and per-period payments the customer initiates themselves.

Can we use this to send money to customers or between accounts?

No. Zoyn is not a money transmitter and does not support remittance, transfers between customer accounts, or anything else that amounts to moving other people's money. It is the software you use to get paid for your own service, and the money settles to wallets you control.

Is our payout wallet checked against sanctions lists?

Yes. The wallet your payments settle to is checked against sanctions lists when you add it, and re-checked every day after that. A check that cannot be completed is never recorded as a pass.

Company

Legal

Legal & regulatory disclosures

Zoyn is software. It is not a bank, a payment processor, a payment gateway, a money transmitter or a money services business. Zoyn is never the seller in a sale (the "merchant of record"). Zoyn never holds a shop's money, and does not decide how long a payment company may hold it. When a customer pays by card or bank, the payment company handles that payment under its own terms and may hold it for a short time. The money then goes to the shop's own payment contract once the payment network has confirmed it.

Businesses can be based in 64 jurisdictions. A US state stays open when at least one checkout partner still serves buyers there. Customers can pay from 130+ countries through the checkout providers we connect to; which countries customers can pay from is set by those providers, not by Zoyn, and may change without notice. Not available in sanctioned jurisdictions: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.
