Hello all,

We just announced a new API for our payout merchants that we're pretty excited about. If you're a payout merchant with affiliates who receive payouts in Bitcoin, you can now use Payza's Bitcoin SendMoney API to set up automated Bitcoin checkouts to external BTC Wallets. This blog post has more details: Payza Launches New Bitcoin SendMoney API for External Bitcoin Wallets - https://blog.payza.com/payza-updates/announcements/payza-launches-bitcoin-sendmoney-api-external-wallets/

If your favorite earning sites don't offer Bitcoin payouts, be sure to let them know about these new services from Payza.

Yes, you can now instantly convert USD to BTC, and BTC to USD. You can actually convert Bitcoin into a wide range of currencies supported by Payza, such as Euros, British Pounds, Canadian Dollars, Swiss Francs and many others.

You can now hold Bitcoin right in your Payza account, which makes it much easier to convert.

The 1.2% fee is for sending Bitcoin to other Payza members, however, you can send Bitcoin from Payza to external Bitcoin Wallets for 0.001 BTC, with the miner fee taken from this amount. This is a flat fee, so when you send over .1 BTC this way, the fee is 1% or less.

Hello again, with our latest Bitcoin updates if you run a business that receives payments or makes payouts in both fiat currency and Bitcoin currency, Payza can now offer you a complete payment processing solution. This blog post has more details about using our new Bitcoin services as a business: https://blog.payza.com/payza-updates/why-use-payza-announcements/payza-offers-all-in-one-payment-solution-businesses-operating-bitcoin-traditional-currencies/

Hello, I'm not sure I understand your question, but here are some things you can now do with Payza and Bitcoin:

You can hold Bitcoin in your Payza account.
You can instantly exchange Bitcoin<>Fiat.
You can add and withdraw Bitcoin (move Bitcoin between Payza and external Bitcoin Wallets)

This means you can store Bitcoin in your Payza account, convert it to the fiat currency, and withdraw those funds to your bank account. Does this answer your question?

We are able to have very low fees for transfers to and from external Bitcoin Wallets. When sending Bitcoin from Payza to an external Bitcoin Wallet, the fee is 0.001 BTC (a portion of which is used for the Bitcoin miner fee). Adding Bitcoin to your Payza account from an external wallet is FREE, but you are responsible for paying the miner fee.


Thank you! We're very excited about these new features and the other Bitcoin and Altcoin features we're currently working on.

Transactions done through Payza's network are still subject to Payza's user agreement. That means that purchases, even those made by Bitcoin, can still be disputed through the Payza Resolution Center. Our Resolution Center is in place to help protect both merchants and their customers, and we believe that by protecting transactions made through Bitcoin in this way, it will help encourage our members to explore Bitcoin.

Our Bitcoin services are designed for people who do not have a lot of experience with Bitcoin, but who are still interested in the cryptocurrency. We wanted to give them an easy way to buy and sell Bitcoin, and to make purchases with it, but without having to worry as much about security.

There are lots of services that cater to people who are very knowledgeable about Bitcoin. Payza is different because our services are aimed more towards Bitcoin beginners who are just getting started and want to take things a bit slowly at first.


You can now find our real-time Bitcoin exchange rates on our fees page: https://www.payza.com/fees. The minimum amounts for exchanges are $1 USD or the equivalent of $1 USD in Bitcoin (when exchanging from Bitcoin to fiat currencies).

Our new Bitcoin services have allowed us to lower some of our fees. For instance, if you send Bitcoin to another Payza member, the receiving fee is just 1.2%, not the standard 2.9% + $0.30 that is charged when you send USD or other currencies to other Payza members.

We also recently lowered our Bank Wire deposit and withdrawal fees.

As Payza grows, it becomes easier for us to get lower rates with our partners, and in this way, we can pass on those savings to our members. We are always working to improve our services, and one way to do that is by lowering our fees. We hope to be able to lower our fees even more in the future, and our team is working behind the scenes to make that possible.

When you send Bitcoin from Payza to an external wallet, it will be subject to a transaction review. Once the withdrawal is approved, the Bitcoin is sent to your Bitcoin Wallet. These reviews can take 3-5 business days, but our team is currently working on a process that will reduce these review times for Bitcoin withdrawals.

When you exchange Fiat currency to Bitcoin within your Payza account, that is now instant. You can exchange USD to Bitcoin, and then exchange the Bitcoin back to USD instantly, all within your Payza account.

The Payza Card is now available in the Philippines! We are also working on an instant Bitcoin load option for the Payza Card that will let you instantly convert Bitcoin to USD and load your Payza Card with those funds. That money will then be instantly available to use either online, in stores, or you can simply withdraw it from compatible ATMs.


Our team is working on integrating other cryptocurrencies into the Payza platform as well. Not just Litecoin and Ethereum, but also Dash, Monero, Ripple, and many many others!

I suggest keeping an eye on the Payza Blog this Summer, there are going to be lots of exciting announcements!

Actually, with our new services, you can now instantly exchange Bitcoin to fiat and fiat to Bitcoin. Payza now lets you hold Bitcoin in your account and convert Bitcoin into most fiat currencies supported by Payza. Your transactions will still be subject to review when you withdraw these funds from Payza (so when you send fiat or Bitcoin to a bank account or external Bitcoin wallet), but if you would like to make instant exchanges, Payza now offers that service.

We are also working on a feature that will allow instant Bitcoin to Payza Card loads. So we will soon be offering a service that allows you to instantly sell Bitcoin and load your Payza card with the USD funds from the sale. Those funds can then be used anywhere the Payza card is accepted: online, in-stores and at most ATMs. Stay tuned for more updates.

Hello again, a couple of weeks ago we announced a bunch of new Bitcoin features that have been enabled on Payza. With the latest update, Payza members can now hold Bitcoin right in their Payza e-wallets. They can also instantly exchange Bitcoin<>Fiat, instantly send Bitcoin to other Payza members (with a very low 1.2% receiving fee), and send Bitcoin to outside Bitcoin wallets (or receive BTC from other wallets). You can find that thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1918729.0

Today we published this blog post to help members use these new features: How to Use Payza’s New Bitcoin Features: Exchange, Add, Withdraw, and Send Bitcoin with Payza.

All the instructions you need to use our services are in that blog post, but as always, if you have any questions, we're here to help. Just ask.

Hello, unfortunately due to regulations in Bangladesh, we are not allowed to offer Bitcoin services there yet. We are closely monitoring the situation in Bangladesh (and a few other countries where Bitcoin is also not allowed), as soon as those rules change, we will be ready to bring these services to you.

You can send and receive Bitcoin instantly now between Payza members. The fee is 1.2% and it is taken out of the initial transfer (so if you send 100 BTC your recipient receives 98.8 BTC)

You can actually send Bitcoin from other Bitcoin wallets to your Payza e-wallet for free! The reverse is almost free as well, except the standard Bitcoin network fee will be deducted.


"Is it possible to request Bitcoin anonymously?" Not exactly. Your Payza account is tied to your email address and this information is included with every transfer or request. Admittedly, Payza is not a great option for people who want to use Bitcoin anonymously. We respect all compliance and legal obligations for the countries we operate in, and many of these regulations include identifying parties in money transfers, especially when large amounts are involved.

"How do I transfer Bitcoin from my Blockchain.info account to my Payza account?" We will have reference material for the new features coming soon that will include complete instructions, however, the short version is simply:

• Log in to your Payza Account
• Click "Add Funds"
• Choose "Bitcoin"
• Here, you want to make sure you select "Deposit to BTC Balance". This will ensure those funds are credited as Bitcoin, not as USD (the default option)
• Next, enter the amount of Bitcoin you will be transferring
• Finally, our system will generate a one-time use Bitcoin Wallet address. Just send the Bitcoin and your Payza account will be credited the moment we receive confirmation.
  
• That's it!

Hello all, while I'm sure most of you already have your own Bitcoin wallets, we're excited to announce that starting today, Payza members can now hold Bitcoin alongside fiat currency directly within their Payza accounts. We wanted to share this news with the Bitcointalk forum because it marks a major step forward for Payza's Bitcoin services.

Now that Bitcoin can be held in Payza e-wallets, members can instantly convert Bitcoin to/from fiat in over 20 currencies supported by Payza. You won't need to wait anymore for your Bitcoin to arrive from Payza now that these conversions are taking place entirely within your Payza account. This new update also lets us provide instant Bitcoin transfers between Payza members, and merchants who process payments with Payza can now accept Bitcoin payments on their websites and will have the option to either have those payments automatically converted to fiat, or to keep them as Bitcoin within their Payza accounts.

Hello all,

I'm Lucas, from Payza. Our Bitcoin team is aware that there are multiple transaction that are not being confirmed within the Blockchain at the
moment, while some others are simply not being registered at all. Let me reassure everyone: your funds are safe. We're currently assessing the
situation and trying to find a fix. In the very near future, our team will reverse every Bitcoin transaction that did not go through and your funds
will be back in your Payza account, so you'll be able to initiate a new Bitcoin withdrawal if you so desire. From there, we'll work on permanently
eliminating the source of this problem. If you have any questions, I'll be here to answer them.

- Lucas

Hi again, just wanted to update everyone on this situation. We have instituted another fix for this issue since the Bitcoin withdrawals for some members still showed as "Completed" even though the Bitcoin transfer was unconfirmed and the bitcoins were returned to Payza. We have sent emails to affected members with more information.

If you are still having issues, or if you need further assistance, please log in to your Payza account and send our support team a message using the new Direct Messaging system and we will be happy to help you further.

Hi all, as mentioned in this thread, we had some BTC confirmation issues that affected a small number of Bitcoin withdrawals. Our team is aware of the issue and believe it has been fixed. If your BTC did not arrive already, you should receive it shortly.

If you are still having issues, please log in to your account and contact our Customer Support Team using our new Direct Messaging Customer Support Module, described in this blog post: https://blog.payza.com/payza-updates/announcements/customer-service-payza-account/

Also, I'd appreciate it if OP could edit this post to note that this is not a "scam," simply a technically issue that has been resolved. Thank you.

The Payza Privacy Policy prevents me from discussing the specifics of your case, but a quick check in our system shows quite a few inconsistencies between the story you are telling and what actually happened. Here is the story your screenshots tell:
1) Screenshot 1 shows that the transfer you received was reversed.
2) Payza informed you by email that your withdrawal was declined and the funds were returned to your account. When they reached your account, they were returned to their source when the initial transaction (from screenshot 1) was reversed.
3) The funds are not in your account and your account has been placed on hold.

Nowhere in your screenshots do you show that the source of these funds are legitimate although you make that claim. Nowhere do you show that the funds were not returned to their proper source, although you make that claim as well.

When fraud funds are discovered, we have no choice but to return them to their original source. In most cases this would NOT be the account that sent you the funds, but the actual funding method from where those funds originated (that is, the original credit card or bank account). Nowhere do you show that Payza has scammed anybody, in fact, the story you tell can be interpreted to show that Payza PREVENTED a scam by discovering and returning suspect funds.


Similar to OP, if those funds were reversed due to fraud, they would not be returned to the original sender's account, they would be sent back to their proper source.

Very nice comparison although it looks like some of your information about Payza is out of date:

Payza's Bank Wire Withdrawal fee has been reduced to $15.00. We also offer local bank transfers in North America, many countries in Europe, and now India too, this is a lower cost alternative to the Bank Wire option. And the Payza Prepaid Card in now available in select countries as well, providing another convenient withdrawal option for our members.

Payza and Egopay are separate companies. Egopay was an Authorized Exchanger for Payza (along with several other exchangers). Their sudden closure did affect some of our members, however, we were able to help many of them recover some or all of the funds that they had sent or attempted to send from Payza to Egopay.

Payza's services are available in the UK, US, and more than 190 countries worldwide. We have recently launched many new services, including the Payza Prepaid Card and many Bitcoin features such as deposits, withdrawals, and even payments, which has helped us start 2016 with greater growth than we've ever experienced as a company. If you are looking for secure, reliable, and convenient e-wallet and online payment processing services, now is a great time to give Payza a try.
