PaySterra Review: Why You Should Choose PaySterra

By now, you should be on a fintech platform and since you enjoy the services provided – you will feel that there is no need for you to switch but I am here to convince you with some reasons why you should abandon your previous fintech platform just like me and register on PaySterra.

1. It has lower processing fees and service charges

Online banking since its inception has been known for its zero charges policy, unlike traditional banks and credit card companies who charge fees for card maintenance and transaction charges. Once you check the amount being removed it may look small to you but when you multiply it by how many customers the bank caters for – it looks unreal. The Fintech institutions were popularized due to the little or no amount they charge customers but that trend has recently started to change as fintech companies now issue cards and hence remove exorbitant charges from the users’ accounts to facilitate their operations which puts the multitude of people using them in regret.

The introduction of PaySterra has come as a relief or as I say “A chill water in the hot sun” for users who are contemplating the option of changing back from the fintech companies. PaySterra gives users very low charges which don’t even make a dent in the user’s account and as a new platform – I expect this policy to last for a long.

1.  Faster Payments

Various experts in the fintech sector and even traditional banks have complained of this immensely, E.g. Nigeria’s Central Bank just came up with a policy to make the economy cashless and drive everyone digital but the major reason why citizens have remained adamant is because of slow payments; an average trader wouldn’t let a customer leave his/her presence if the credit alert for the goods purchased doesn’t reflect on his/her device. Slow network and transfer failure are really of a bother to users as many have been victims (Even I).

PaySterra has looked at this issue critically when developing its platform and ensured that users enjoy seamless banking through faster payments. The platform has been programmed to carry out transfer without error at incredible speed; it has also assured users that their network strength won’t be a hindrance for transfer failure as the web and app platforms support 3G, 4G and even 5G networks hence ensuring seamless and fast banking.

1. An easier Transaction process

When carrying out transactions on PaySterra, it offers a very basic process that even beginners in the fintech sector would easily accumulate. It provides users with a very simple transaction process to ensure that its platform is friendly to both categories of users alike.

1. Guaranteed Security on its platforms

The management is partnering with various security companies to ensure that it provides its users with the best and prevents its platform from experiencing any kind of Cyber-breach. The company has promised its users that their data won’t be stolen, hacked or sold hence ensuring trust in its platforms.

1. It has a lot of unique features

The company has equipped its platforms with a lot of features which enable users to perform a lot of activities on them. Others of its kind may just load up their platform with only financial services but PaySterra has gone the extra mile by ensuring that its platform supports multiple currencies, cryptocurrencies, digital coins, etc. This will go a long way in ensuring the effectiveness and longevity of the platform.

PaySterra Review: Features Available on PaySterra

1. Transaction history

We have been in that situation when the person you are sending money to requires proof like a receipt to be sure that he/she is not getting scammed and unfortunately for the sender, the banking app has been vacated. What do you do in this sort of situation? For those using banking platforms which doesn’t have a transaction history feature, you just have to wait till the person you are sending money to gets the money and if luck isn’t on your side – there is a network issue or slow payment issues for you to deal with.

PaySterra users have nothing to worry about in this regard as they don’t need to write down all their transactions on their notes (Just joking) or save all the receipts of the transactions immediately hence having low storage space; the app comes equipped with a transaction history for all its users hence you can access transactions for transfers you have done previously as they labelled according to the date they were carried out and the receipts of the transfers can be downloaded from there any time.

2. Wallets

This is my favorite feature – the platform has a lot of currencies available on this platform and I have asked myself various times if each currency will have its wallet hence alerting users on how much they have stored for each currency. This feature also helps the user in planning and if he/she should increase the amount that currency has.

3. Depositing of Fund and Cryptocurrencies

This feature is available on most fintech platforms, PaySterra gives users the ability to deposit cash into their wallet but the only “comma” in their depositing feature is that due to the newness of the platform – depositing by card isn’t available as the platform only supports deposits by bank transfer. To ensure transparency and fast depositing by the company for the users, it has a feature which makes users attach the receipt of the transaction that occurred.

This feature has a very huge advantage as users on PaySterra have access to a lot of currencies when depositing. Here are the processes involved when depositing on PaySterra:

• Locate the deposit column which can be located at the top left corner of the screen
• Click on “deposit fund” and select the desired currency you would want as the platform offers a range of currencies for users to decide from.
• Select the amount you want to deposit and then pick out your desired payment method

Note: As I said earlier, due to the newness of the platform it doesn’t support card payment but only payments through the bank method are available.

• After selecting the bank transfer method, initiate the transaction, attach the receipt of the transaction and tap confirm.
• After a few minutes, the deposit will reflect on the platform.

4. Send and Request money

All financial institutions have this feature on that platform but the unique part about PaySterra’s feature is that it is far easier to initiate a transfer than what other financial institutions provides.

Note: The Platform only allows transfers to a PaySterra account but the company has released a statement in which they mentioned that the option to transfer to other banks will be available in the future.

The platform also allows users to request money from other PaySterra users which is more faster than an ordinary transfer (mind-blowing); the only criteria needed to carry this action is the target phone number and email address (Must be registered on PaySterra).

5. Exchange Currencies

The platform also allows various users to exchange a currency to another using the wallet. The available currencies which can be exchanged are:

1. USD
2. GHC
3. GBP
4. BTC
5. EUR
6. LTC
7. NGN
8. DOGE

Note: The option to trade Crypto currencies isn’t available on the platform yet.

6. Withdrawals

The Platform allows users to withdraw their money to their bank account, PayPal or any Crypto wallet. Once a user chooses the bank account withdrawal method, it requires the users to input some vital details.

7. The Customer Care Service

Any platform without an efficient customer service won’t be patronized regularly as users feel that if they have any issue it won’t be addressed. 

PaySterra has a very efficient and Responsive team which means that once a user submits a ticket of his/her issue – it will be attended to promptly. The platform also allows users to prioritize their ticket from Low to High as tickets tagged with high will be addressed more quickly than those with low.

8. 2-Factor Authentication

The platform allows users to set two-factor authentication to bolster the security they get on the platform.

Conclusion on PaySterra Review

PaySterra is new and even though some may complain about the lack of some features but a new company we carestst assured that more features and improvements will be done on the platform. The company has shown some potential with the kind of attention it has generated since its inception.

We think you should use PaySterra and let us know your response to it. That is all for PaySterra review.
