Paytec Technologies

Global accounts to accept, hold, and pay out funds across borders.

Zeam provides global accounts that enable businesses, merchants, and platforms to accept payments from anywhere, store value securely, and pay out funds worldwide.

Through a single account, partners can accept multiple payment methods, hold balances in digital currencies or local fiat, and settle or distribute funds across borders. Zeam combines global settlement with local payment rails to simplify international payments.

Zeam operates within a regulated, compliance-first framework, incorporating identity verification, transaction monitoring, and market-specific controls.

Use Cases

Global Accounts for Platforms & Marketplaces

Zeam enables platforms and marketplaces to offer global accounts to their users without building local banking infrastructure. With a single integration, platforms can accept payments from multiple countries and payment methods, store value in digital currencies or local fiat, and pay out funds globally. This is especially valuable for platforms operating across borders or serving users in emerging markets, where access to traditional bank accounts is fragmented. Zeam manages local payment rails, settlement, and payouts, allowing platforms to focus on their core product experience. Balances can be held in digital currencies or local fiat, supporting predictable treasury management and reducing cross-border friction. Built-in compliance controls support onboarding and monitoring across jurisdictions, enabling platforms to scale responsibly and launch payment-enabled products faster.

In-Store & Online Merchant Payments

Zeam allows merchants to accept payments from customers anywhere in the world, both in-store and online, through a single setup. Merchants can accept multiple payment methods without needing to manage different providers or settlement flows. Funds are settled into a Zeam account, where merchants can store value in digital currencies or fiat, convert funds, or pay out locally or internationally. This reduces lost sales caused by payment limitations and simplifies reconciliation across markets. For merchants in regions with limited banking access, Zeam provides a practical alternative to traditional acquiring, combining fast settlement with transparent reporting in a regulated framework.

Business Payouts & Cross-Border Disbursements

Zeam enables businesses to make local and international payouts from a single account, replacing fragmented bank transfers and manual processes. Businesses can pay suppliers, partners, employees, or customers across multiple countries through one platform. Payouts are executed using digital currency settlement and local rails, helping reduce delays, costs, and failed payments. This is particularly useful in emerging markets where payout reliability is critical. With built-in compliance, reporting, and auditability, Zeam supports recurring operational payouts while improving cash flow visibility and simplifying treasury operations as businesses scale.

Workforce, Gig & Contractor Payments

Zeam supports salary, wage, and contractor payments for companies with distributed or cross-border workforces. Employers can fund a single account and pay workers in multiple countries without establishing local payroll banking relationships. Workers receive funds into accounts where they can store value in digital currencies or fiat, spend locally, or cash out as needed. This improves access for underbanked workers and reduces settlement delays. For employers, Zeam simplifies payroll operations while maintaining compliance, transparency, and scalability across markets.

Remittances & International Transfers

Zeam enables fast and cost-efficient international transfers by combining digital currency settlement with local pay-in and payout options. Users can send funds across borders without relying on slow or expensive traditional remittance channels. Recipients receive funds into accounts where they can store value, spend digitally, or cash out locally. This improves accessibility and reduces friction for individuals and families relying on cross-border support. For partners offering remittance services, Zeam provides the account, payment, and payout layer required to operate reliably across multiple markets within a regulated framework.

Embedded Payments & Accounts via APIs

Zeam provides APIs that allow partners to embed global accounts, payment acceptance, and payout capabilities directly into their applications. With a single integration, partners can offer accounts that accept payments, store value in digital currencies, and pay out globally. Zeam manages settlement, compliance, and operational complexity behind the scenes, reducing engineering and regulatory overhead. This enables faster product launches and easier expansion into new markets. Embedded capabilities allow partners to maintain control of the user experience while relying on a scalable, regulated payment foundation.
