Paze is a digital payment method available through some online merchants. Unlike other digital payment methods that may be used for peer-to-peer payments or added to digital wallets, Paze is strictly for use with online retailers. It is a newer payment option, and while you can find it in a variety of places, it may not be available everywhere.
Read on to learn more about Paze and where you can find it as a payment option online.
Understanding Paze
Paze was developed as a method for making digital transactions with online retailers and e-commerce platforms. In contrast to some digital payment methods, Paze eliminates the need for setting up a new account, installing an app or even inputting your credit or debit card details.
Your Paze account is linked to the email address associated with your debit and credit card accounts. It integrates with your banking institution, eliminating the need for a separate account registration. Its use is limited to those who have an account with a bank or credit union that is affiliated with Paze. However, seven of the country’s largest banks are affiliated with Paze, so many people have access to this payment option.
Paze users are not required to input their credit or debit card information into Paze. Cards that are eligible from participating banks are presented as an option when using Paze. Paze uses encryption that replaces your card’s details, so your actual card number isn’t shared with merchants.
Merchants who accept Paze
You can use Paze at any participating online merchant, but the list of merchants is limited. You can view a list of merchants that offer PazeOpens overlay for the most up-to-date merchant info.
If Paze is a payment option at checkout, you’ll likely see it as a button on a check out page, much like you’d see options for Apple Pay, Google Pay or Venmo. Because Paze is still a relatively new digital payment, you may not see it as an option. However, Paze continues to add new merchants to its system.
How Paze works
Paze does not require you to add your bank or card info during checkout. It will instead ask you to verify your identity and bank accounts using your email address. Eligible cards from participating financial institutions are provided as a payment option in Paze if they are connected with the email address you enter.
Note that Paze is not a peer-to-peer payment method, cannot be added to your digital wallet and cannot be used for in-store shopping. It’s designed for use with online merchants.
Security and safety with Paze
Paze uses a token system, so your card numbers are not shared with merchants. Instead, it replaces your card numbers with a random string of letters and numbers that represent your card number.
If your card is lost or stolen, there also is no need to update your payment information in Paze. Because Paze is linked to your bank, your new card information will automatically update with its system.
In summary
Paze is a digital payment option available at some online merchants. The list of merchants who accept PazeOpens overlay is growing, so you can check the most up-to-date list of merchants on Paze’s site.
If a merchant accepts Paze, you’ll see a Paze button on the checkout page next to other payment options. You’ll need to verify your identity using your email address to complete the transaction using Paze, but you will not need to enter your debit or credit card’s information.
