Zero Hardware. Instant Settlement. No Chargebacks.
📣 London, UK – 15.January 2026 – Following the announcement of the upcoming PEYMO App launch, we now take a closer look at why PEYMO represents a fundamental shift for merchants worldwide.
While consumers experience simplicity and freedom, merchants gain something even more powerful: full control over payments, costs, and settlement — without intermediaries.

Payments Have Been Working Against Merchants
For decades, merchants have had to accept a broken status quo:
● Expensive card terminals
● Long-term POS contracts
● 1.5–4% transaction fees
● Delayed settlement (T+2, T+5, or longer)
● Chargebacks and fraud risk
● Dependence on banks and acquirers
Digital payments became more complex — not more efficient.
PEYMO reverses this.
A Smartphone Becomes a Global Point-of-Sale
With PEYMO, any merchant smartphone instantly becomes a complete POS system.
There is:
● No hardware to buy
● No terminal rental
● No installation
● No bank integration
● No card networks
● No acquirers
-> The merchant simply displays a QR code.
-> The customer scans.
-> The payment settles instantly.
That’s it.
Instant Settlement — Finally
Traditional card payments only appear instant. In reality, merchants wait days or weeks to access their money.
With PEYMO:
● Funds arrive immediately
● Settlement is final
● The merchant receives crypto directly into their own wallet
● No holding accounts
● No frozen balances
● No delays
This radically improves cash flow, especially for:
● Small businesses
● High-volume merchants
● International sellers
● Digital and mobile merchants
Zero Chargebacks. Zero Reversals.
Card payments allow after-the-fact reversals, often long after goods or services are delivered.
PEYMO transactions are:
● Final
● Irreversible
● Recorded transparently on-chain
Once paid, the payment is settled — permanently.
This eliminates:
● Chargeback abuse
● Friendly fraud
● Administrative disputes
● Hidden operational losses
For merchants, this means certainty.
Lower Costs by Design
PEYMO is not built on legacy payment rails.
There are:
● No interchange fees
● No scheme fees
● No acquirer margins
● No terminal fees
Transaction costs are structurally lower than traditional card payments — especially for cross-border transactions.
For global merchants, this can mean thousands or millions saved annually.
Global From Day One
PEYMO does not care about borders.
A merchant in:
● Europe
● Asia
● Africa
● Latin America
…can accept payments from customers anywhere in the world instantly, without:
● Local bank accounts
● FX intermediaries
● Country-specific acquiring
Crypto is the settlement layer — globally native by default.
Built for the Next Generation of Commerce
PEYMO is ideal for:
● Retail stores
● Cafés & restaurants
● E-commerce
● Events & pop-ups
● Freelancers & creators
● Emerging markets
● High-risk industries
All with one app.
Not an Add-On. A Replacement.
PEYMO is not another payment option added to an already complex stack.
It is designed to replace:
● Cash handling
● Card terminals
● Acquirer relationships
● Delayed settlement models
This is a new payment standard, optimized for merchants — not banks.
