What is HAZZA




OVERVIEW

...

CHALLENGE

The current payments market is highly fragmented and complex. Many intermediaries exist, taking high fees and creating unnecessary friction at the expense of the consumers, merchants and market participants. With the total non-cash payments transaction value projected to be at $70TN* by 2025, the payments market is awaiting disruption.

...

OPPORTUNITY

We are moving to a digital world. Digital adoption, together with Alternative Payment Methods have seen explosive growth. With the development of Blockchain and Smart Contract technology, the stage is set to bring together a harmonious and frictionless ecosystem for the payments market, and drive financial inclusion.

...

SOLUTION

With the HAZZA project, we aim to take an existing, proven enterprise payment platform to the blockchain. HAZZA aims to revolutionize the payments ecosystem by creating an open access, global, unified payments network governed by the community for the community.

OUR VISION: PARTICIPANT BENEFITS


Cryptocurrencies,
Crypto Payment Solutions

Cryptocurrencies and crypto payment solutions can be natively accepted on conventional, mainstream, existing payment networks, and become less dependent upon issuers. This also reduces the burden to merchants of dealing with multiple networks, interfaces and management/reconciliation systems by having a single, consolidated front-end system.

Merchants

Merchants who want to accept non-cash payments will no longer have to engage in a slow and expensive process of seeking and contracting with various intermediaries who charge fees on every transaction and only provide access to a limited range of payment methods.

Merchants will gain fast and simple access to all payment methods on the HAZZA network, while saving cost and realizing increased revenues from broader payment method access.

Hazza’s omni-channel technology will also make it easy for any merchant to accept both online and offline payments, supporting ‘O2O’ strategies.

HAZZA’s omni-channel technology will also make it easy for any merchant to accept both online and offline payments, supporting ‘O2O’ strategies, all through a single open API.

Payment Method Providers

Payment method providers will no longer be forced to compete in closed and fragmented market where a few payment methods dominate, struggling to gain wider acceptance which is costly and time consuming.

In the Hazza network, payment method providers are free to compete on the merits of their product and have direct access to merchants and other users.

Payment Networks, Issuers and Acquirers

Existing payment networks, issuers, acquirers, and card schemes can leverage on HAZZA's decentralized network and global reach in order to lower their CAPEX/ OPEX and as a result expand their footprint in developing countries or build additional functionalities in existing markets.

Valued Added Service Providers

HAZZA network allows various parties such as Point Of Sale, EFT terminal, FX, KYC, and new emerging service providers to benefit from direct access to participants in the payment ecosystem, driving innovation and new economies.

OUR VISION:MIGRATION TO BLOCKCHAIN

The HAZZA network will be built using blockchain technology

OPEN API

The typical payment processing integration model is very linear and dependent on the payment network company. Due to this linear model, the integration is very costly and time lengthy. HAZZA network’s Open API model takes a different approach; the payment channel integrates itself to the HAZZA network using the public API, removing the bottleneck.

CONTRACTUAL LAYER

Smart contracts will be used to facilitate aspects such as KYC, commercial terms, participant registry, and publishing of services. Due to the nature of this evolving technology, merchants and payments participants will see significant time savings and minimized acquisition costs.

CORE PROCESSING PLATFORM

The Foundation will evaluate the new blockchain technology readiness and leverage it for core processing when ready. This includes evaluation of off-chain state channel technologies, such as Lightning Network and RAIDEN.
