Description:High carrier fees have always been a fact of life when it comes to mobile payments. Zong+ changes the game by giving your users a choice to fund their payment through a different method, such as a credit or debit card. As a result, you get the high conversion rates of mobile payments plus the lower transaction fees of payment cards. More choice for your users, more revenue for you.

Also, Zong+ enables higher price points on goods that you can sell. So, go ahead and build that high revenue super awesome widget you've been dreaming about—we'll make it an easy sale to your users.

Since Zong+ customers will be settling through their financial institution, you'll get paid up to three times faster than your typical carrier payment.
