Payza News Update – Payza payments are no more available in any part of the world since US authorities have shut Payza down for involvement in criminal activity. Payza has been charged for money laundering over $250 million.
Payza Reopening – Payza has promised to restart its services to the users apart from US residents. There is no confirmation of time and date. I will keep on updating regarding this issue, stay tuned, or contact me. In the meantime, you can use PayPal or Payoneer to receive payments.
Payza Review – Payza was one of the most used payment processors in the world next to PayPal. It’s a known fact that PayPal is the best payment processor to send and receive money from the bank account at low fees. But unfortunately, because of its strict terms, PayPal does not approve all the business accounts that wish to process over 10 payment per day. Payza is one of the best options for the companies to replace PayPal as the payment system is accepted almost all over the world and there are no strict terms like Paypal.
Coming to India, recently Payza has added a great new feature for Indian freelancers to withdraw money directly to the bank account in Indian currency INR(₹) and Payza is planning to add more features to expand their business in India. Read this full review about Payza India to learn how to make use of its features in India.
Payza India Reviews:
Payza is the second-best payment processor in India next to Paypal, which is a Payment option almost on all the MMO sites.
Now it is possible to withdraw money from Indian currency to the local bank account in a very simple way. Previously, we can only send the wire transfer to India(n) bank account, which has so many formalities and fees were higher.
You can store your money on the Payza wallet as long as you want and make use of it for the online purchase.
Payza India vs PayPal India:
In India, you cannot store your money in the PayPal wallet for over seven days or make a purchase directly using PayPal balance according to Indian reserve bank regulations. With Payza, there are no restrictions in keeping money on the Payza wallet and you can make use of it to repurchase products and services.
For example, if you receive $10 from a survey site or a Paid to click site to PayPal, you won’t have full control over the fund, and also you cannot use it for upgrading your PTC account or purchasing advertising devices. $10 will be automatically converted into INR and sent to the verified bank account within 7 days of money received.
In Payza, you can store that $10 in the wallet for years and it will not be auto-withdrawn. Moreover, you can use it to purchase services on any other site as per your wishes.
The second factor is the withdrawal fees. PayPal will charge no fees if you withdraw above ₹7000 and very little fees if less than ₹7000. Payza will charge you a fixed fee for all the transactions that are explained in the latter part. This is terrible news for startups and freelancers.
You can directly pay for service via PayPal using your Visa/Master debit/credit cards with low fees. But on Payza you have to add funds to your wallet only through wire transfer that charges minimum fees of $8 and you can use the funds added to your Payza wallet to purchase services & products.
Both Paypal and Payza are very secure. Payza acts bit smart than PayPal. If you sign in to your Payza account from a new computer (new IP and MAC address) you have to enter the verification code sent to your email inbox to log in successfully. Anyone can log into your PayPal account if they know the correct user ID and password.
The important point to be considered is that you can only receive a maximum of $500 inward transaction to a regular Indian Paypal account. Payza has no restrictions and you can send or receive an unlimited amount through the Payza account.
Hope now you’re aware of the pros and cons of PayPal and Payza in India. Now continue reading to learn the usage of Payza.

As you can see in the image given above, I’ve received $175.20 in my Payza account. With $5.38 deducted as transaction fees, the final amount deposited to my account was $169.82. The transaction fees were 2.90% + $0.30.
We can find the exact amount added after a fee deduction on account transaction history.
