    Zombaio Costing US 23% in Processing/Payout Fees

    With our last payout we noticed some funds just disappeared. After being in contact with their customer support we learned they have added payout fees to the mix. The total cost for us to process through Zombaio and receive payment has jumped to 23% of the total due us.

    Is anyone still using Zombaio and if you are, what are your total payout/processing costs?

          Hey, AWC...
          No, our primary is CCBill. We started with Zombaio but have only been using them for our direct account to see if we can cut the costs from ccbills 14%...

                      I assume this is due to the high wire fees we offer checks for a lower fee or you can raise your minimum payout.
                      Alternatively wait a short while for RedPass to launch then it will be possible for you to transfer to your RedPass account and then use ACH to transfer to your US bank account.

                          Where do you find those bizarre avatars? Do you live near 3 Mile Island? LOL

                          The upped fees are probably wire transfer fees which to be honest I ave never noticed before. They did not seem to be charging us or they were not in place...I would see processing fees taken and reserve.

                          If anyone uses Zombaio and they pay you by check in the US are they charging you anything?

                                          Is it 23% because it's actually 23%? Or is it 23% because there was a $25-50 wire fee that ate into a smaller sized payment?

                                          Example A: $230 on a $1,000 payment = 23%
                                          Example B: $23 wire fee on a $100 payment = 23%

                                              We are still talking about RedPass? When will people be able to use it? With the new Zombaio threads always popping up now will people trust it?

                                              Zombaio seemed like such a great biller for a little while but I have seen so many threads lately I don't know what is what.

                                              Did everybody that was complaining about late payments end up getting paid?

                                                      We charge $3.5 for US checks.
                                                      We changed banks because our old bank caused issued a couple of times where they did not send the wire on times, they were cheap and our new bank CommerzBank is a little more expensive but a lot more reliable ,we only charge what it is costing us to send the wire.

                                                          That's not an insult.

I gather from this thread that the processing fees (a percentage that hasn't changed) and payment fees (set $ amount) combined cost you 23% of what you are owed? Way to twist the truth, you made this thread as if they've raised processing fees to some absurd level.. why?

                                                                      Example A: $230 on a $1,000 payment = 23%

Admin area does not show this clearly... On smaller payments, our bulk goes through ccbill, we shouldnt be doing wires. We were not seeing these fees until this time around.

                                                                                  They never notified me of the change.

Other billers don't send out notices every time some little thing changes and people do tend to flip out every time Zombaio notifies their clients about an outage or whatever.

                                                                                              This is the problem with sponsors/processors/etc. It's like they're scared to email their clients or affiliates about anything negative for fear that one of them might post it on GFY and start a big shit storm that has to be sorted out.

                                                                                              Then there's the ones that are scared to notify about anything so they don't, and then someone finds out what's going on and starts a GFY thread about it anyways and then it all turns into some alleged closing up shop scam scenario.

                                                                                              I don't blame them for not notifying anyone of the 'bank change', especially since they're always on top of emailing everyone about what's going on. But they're on thin ice around here so they need to tread carefully.

                                                                                                  We changed banks because our old bank caused issued a couple of times where they did not send the wire on times, they were cheap and our new bank CommerzBank is a little more expensive but a lot more reliable ,we only charge what it is costing us to send the wire.
                                                                                                  Michael I think the problem here is that your bank is using correspondent intermediary banks who are also hitting your customers with a charge which means that in most cases there is the $10 Zombaio wire fee, the $20 intermediary bank fee and then again often a receiving bank fee. Still not excessive when compared to other processors but as one of the main benefits of using Zombaio was the ability to get more frequent payouts, these costs add up, and it is now significantly less cost effective to get your "daily payouts". In short you are killing one of the reasons to choose Zombaio.

                                                                                                  You also have never communicated the $3.50 US check option. Previously your check fees were higher than wires because Zombaio didn't like sending checks. Where are you sending these checks from? And what is the estimated delivery time to a US address?

                                                                                                  And as for Redpass..... you are now officially the last person in the world who believes that will ever happen so you really should stop talking about.

                                                                                                      The thing is, they automatically subtract $15 from your earnings before creating a payout, then when the money actually reaches your bank it's minus 15. Then if your bank charges $15 for incoming fees, subtract that.

                                                                                                      On a low minimum payout you would definitely get raped in fees. I mean $45 on a $200 payout is nearly 23% in just payout fees, add processing fees and you would be paying out your ass.

                                                                                                          They never notified me of the change.

                                                                                                          We use a credit union. I am hoping they dont. They do not charge us for other services. In the wake of the banking BS we are keeping 11 offshore bank and US credit union and dumping the rest... Thanks for the headsup...

I did a search and this is the only one. So I guess Bank of America just created a new fee. I hope this isn't per wire... If it is I'll be paying $61 per wire. $244/month. $2928/year.

The chargeback ratio is the number of charge backs issued in a period of four weeks divided by the total number of transactions in that same period. If this ratio is 1.5% or more, a surcharge of 5% will apply to the base rate for that period. Once the ratio is below 1.5% your rate will be restored to the base rate. The average chargeback ratio is at 0.65% for an high risk merchant."

The chargeback ratio is the number of charge backs issued in a period of four weeks divided by the total number of transactions in that same period. If this ratio is 1.5% or more, a surcharge of 5% will apply to the base rate for that period. Once the ratio is below 1.5% your rate will be restored to the base rate. The average chargeback ratio is at 0.65% for an high risk merchant."

                                                                                                                                                  When I receive your wires my bank statement says "all costs for receiver" which is your choice whilst you could also chose for "costs for sender" or "costs split". Now if you charge your clients for wires you really should cover all costs and not let them pay by the receiver.

What we are ticked about is no mail notifications of fees being upped. Admin area does not show this clearly... On smaller payments, our bulk goes through ccbill, we shouldnt be doing wires. We were not seeing these fees until this time around.
                                                                                                                                                      Raise the minimum account for payouts. Put it on $5000 then the wiring/cheque costs will be relatively lower.

                                                                                                                                                          First of ALL our rates are available on our web page, that is the general signup rates. Your specific rates can be found in ZOA. If you have an account with "problem" your rate might be a bit higher than the standard rate but NEVER 23%. Our problem account is at most at 10.9 + 2-5% penalty surcharge.

                                                                                                                                                          The reason for why we have raised our fees is to make room for clients using both Zombaio and RedPass to get REALLY low processing rates compared to those who are not using RedPass (a way to boost RedPass) which will be launched this year.

                                                                                                                                                          We know that the international wire fee is a pain for many. That is why we are piloting ACH and European SEPA payments with very good result and it will be released for all clients within weeks.

                                                                                                                                                          Since we pay daily, you may get bashed with banking fees if you have 100 USD floor limit, and we really recommend you to set at least weekly payouts or specify a floor limit.

The chargeback ratio is the number of charge backs issued in a period of four weeks divided by the total number of transactions in that same period. If this ratio is 1.5% or more, a surcharge of 5% will apply to the base rate for that period. Once the ratio is below 1.5% your rate will be restored to the base rate. The average chargeback ratio is at 0.65% for an high risk merchant."

Now if you charge your clients for wires you really should cover all costs and not let them pay by the receiver.
                                                                                                                                                                  That is not true, we have a costs split and the payout fee you pay us covers the fee we have to our banking partner for payouts.

Mine does and recently raised it to almost double what it was.

                                                                                                                                                                      They never notified me of the change.
                                                                                                                                                                      Yes, we have seen this too. That is also why ACH and SEPA is so important...

Other billers don't send out notices every time some little thing changes and people do tend to flip out every time Zombaio notifies their clients about an outage or whatever.
                                                                                                                                                                              Yes, this is true. But we think it is more important to actually notify even minor problems and take the bad-will.

                                                                                                                                                                              If I were a customer of Zombaio, I would like to have that information.

So if my bank doesn't split costs, is because your system instructed their system to have me pay all the wiring costs which are 7 euro. Then at the same time you charge me 6 euro for IBAN transfer:

If you really feel my bank made an error, then it's between you and my bank, for you to sort out.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  between good cards being declined....bogus credit cards being approved...payout delays...hidden processing fee increases...you start to get the clear understanding that it is us against the banks

                                                                                                                                                                                                  IF YOU THINK THIS IS LIP SERVICE OR FANTASY THEN TAKE YOUR ASS OVER TO RIPP OFF REPORT.COM AND TYPE IN THE NAME OF ANY BIG BANK AND SEE THE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF FIRST HAND REPORTS FROM MANY SMALL BIZ OWNERS LIKE US WHO GET TAKEN TO THE CLEANERS EVERYDAY BY BANKS WHILE THE BANKS OPERATE WITH IMPUNITY

                                                                                                                                                                                                  an overhaul is needed and before these billing and banking execs return the keys to the private jets they will find "OTHER ways" to increase profit

                                                                                                                                                                                                  remember merhchants you are producers with tangible goods and serives to offer....parasites can only exist by feeding off of merhants who produce....

                                                                                                                                                                                                  understanding that if I as a parasite can insert myself or business between merchants and their customers then so long as their is a transaction to be made....I as a parasite, will get paid

                                                                                                                                                                                                  when we rid ourselves of 3rd party for profit parasites it will be better for merhchants and customers alike
