Problem or Opportunity
1.LIMITED OPTIONS FOR CASH COLLECTION - Businesses have challenges in receiving money from their customers who use varying payment methods that are not interoperable (mobile wallets, banks) .
2. CASH RISKS: Businesses still have to queue up for long hours to make payouts. Cash handling is very risky .
3. SLOW SETTLEMENT TIMES : Mobile wallets still dominate digital payments but are prone to longer settlement times.
Solution (product or service)
1. Multiple Payment Options for Merchants: Tranzak offers businesses multiple payment options from which their customers can pay.
2. Seamless Payouts : Businesses can make unlimited and instant payments to bank accounts and mobile wallets without having to queue up or carry cash around.
3. Through partnership with multiple banks, businesses can enjoy speedier (T0, T+1) settlement times - which is a far cry from what mobile wallet providers offer.
