NEW YORK and ST PETER PORT, Guernsey, Sept. 30, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Payments Facilities of Global Telephony Provider Webtel.mobi (“WM”) are not limited to Offline Payments. Its ICLM and TUV Facilities also have full Online Payments capacity, and can be used in the Online Payments or Payment Gateway role – for making or accepting payments – by all WM Members worldwide.
WM’s ICLM Payment and TUV Payments are de-facto Payment Gateway equivalents, and are able to be used for accepting Online Payments instantly when a Merchant joins WM as a Member. The only equipment required is a person’s existing Mobile Phone – whether a Smart Phone or Pre-Smart Mobile Phone.
All a Member needs to do to utilize these systems as de facto Payment Gateways is display his/her ITAN Number (Inter-Tel.mobi Account Number) and Mobile Number on the website, and the currencies that they will accept for payment. The identifying names or references for the good or services being sold act as the payment reference.
Merchants can then instantly accept Payments in all Currencies available on the WM Platform from any WM Member anywhere in the world – and receive immediate settlement, 24/7/365 –without the possibility of chargebacks.

There is zero cost to Merchants accepting Payments if using the TUV Payment Gateway equivalent, or an ultra-low cost to Merchants of 0.25% to 0.1% if using the ICLM Payment Gateway equivalent. With the ICLM Payment Gateway Equivalent, Merchants can choose if they pay this ultra-low cost, whether the Purchaser should pay the cost, or whether the cost is split between Merchant and Purchaser.
For Purchasers who are Members of WM, Payments are free and instant 24/7/365, with instant transaction history and confirmation of payment by email and text. Payments can be made in any WM Currency from any of the free multicurrency wallets provided by WM.
Generally, standard Payment Gateways charge Merchants high fees for integration into websites, charge high transaction fee, provide unfavorable and forced FX Conversion rates, do not easily provide many multicurrency accounts for settlement, take days or weeks to provide full settlement and hold back funds in retentions.
In comparison to WM’s Payment Gateway equivalents, which provide free, instant, global and multicurrency services - it will be difficult for them to compete or even to survive.
