Risks
Funds received through Payza can potentially be put at risk if the buyer requests a chargeback. Payza's policy is to close the account for any account holders who issue a chargeback.
Payza holds balances that might be at risk. The agreement states:
- If you do hold a balance in your account, Payza will keep your funds separate from its corporate funds and will not use your funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes.[1].
There is no mention if these funds are CDIC (Canadian) insured, FDIC (U.S.) insured, or any other indication of how or where these funds are held.
