Bank transfers as payments for luxury retailers.

Zenobia Pay makes payments software for luxury retailers to accept pay-by-bank to avoid fraud, chargebacks, and credit card fees. We're on a mission to make it 3x cheaper to transact online, handling payments for a 1% fee. Zenobia Pay integrates to your store through our ecommerce plugins (Shopify, BigCommerce, Woocomerce, etc), or through our open-source Javascript packages. It's pay-by-bank with instant clearance, with a bundled fraud chargeback guarantee, for 1%. No need to handle sensitive account details, either. Your customers log into their bank and store access tokens on their own hardware in the secure enclave.

Hey! We’re Teddy and Ryan, co-founders of Zenobia Pay.

Zenobia Pay enables luxury brands to accept pay-by-bank and avoid fraud, chargebacks, and credit card fees.

Online credit card payments are expensive and rife with fraud. Fees account for 3+% of transaction volume, and high-ticket items account for more than a third of the 100 million annual chargebacks in the US.

With Zenobia Pay, payments cost only 1%, clear instantly, and are protected with a fraud chargeback guarantee. Customers link their bank to their own hardware, where it’s stored locally in a secure enclave. Merchant sites never see sensitive tokens or account numbers.

Founders Theodore Li and Ryan Prendergast started Zenobia Pay with a mission to make it 3x cheaper to transact online, bypassing the senselessly high credit card interchange fees that aren’t normal anywhere outside the US.
