General

  • What is the electronic wallet and why do I need it?
    With you and your comfort in mind, we decided to create a system easy to access and use, with a simple, intuitive design, which you can take with you anywhere you go, especially if you will install our app on your phone. Paynet wallet offers you the satisfaction of making online payments from the warmth of your home, only by using your mobile phone number and a password to register and login. You can top it up or withdraw funds whenever you need. Paynet wallet offers you maximum protection whenever you need to send, spend or receive money online. Your security is one of the principles according to which we created this system, extremely easy to use. This is why we offer you the possibility to schedule payments, make transfers and save templates so that you don't need to fill again and again all the details for your transactions. To ensure that all your data is kept safe, debit transactions are secured by a short one time password (OTP), which you will receive on your mobile phone via an SMS, without which no transaction will be done.
  • What is the difference between an unidentified and identified wallet and what are the identification advantages?
    The possibility of creating and using Paynet wallet is free for anyone with a mobile phone number, issued by any mobile operator in the country. Unidentified wallet is easy to set up, by submitting only the mobile phone number. The unidentified user has access to all system operations and has the possibility to make any type of transactions within the 2.500 MDL limit; this amount also being the maximum balance allowed.The transaction limit for all Payment transactions is set at 10000 MDL per month. Physical money withdrawal from e-wallet, at Paynet Agents, is done on the basis of a request of your ID number that is verified by the Agents. For security reasons and to exclude any kind of fraud, it will not be possible to modify this number afterwards. In case it does need to be changed, a request will be sent to the company, which will follow all internal procedures of identification. Maximum withdrawal amount is equivalent to the maximum allowed balance and is of 2.500 MDL. Identified wallet offers its users more benefits, such as unlimited balance and unlimited amounts for transactions (in case the transaction beneficiary does not impose its personal restrictions). User identification is done on the basis of an application form that will contain all your identification data. This will facilitate the cash withdrawal of funds stored in the wallet; withdrawal amount is unlimited. Daily limit for each type of transaction is of 15.000 MDL and it can be increased upon sending a request to Paynet.
