Phinge Will Revolutionize Fintech, P2P, Payment Processing & Issuance Through Netverse, With Lower Fees & A Rewards-based Same-as-cash Payment Option

By: PRLog
INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Sept. 22, 2025 - PRLog -- Phinge's® Netverse® looks to disrupt the banking and credit card processing industry by creating a parallel, rewards payment ecosystem with no transaction fees, enhanced security through hardware verification, and an integrated rewards system.

Its patented Netverse technology and through its PhingePay platform will enable a direct, commission-free, seamless payment process between businesses and consumers that bypasses traditional credit card networks and banks for all rewards transactions occurring within Netverse.

Reduced transaction fees.
  • Netverse model: Phinge will not charge any commission from rewards used through PhingePay for purchases of good and services. This is more favorable to businesses than the high accumulated fees charged by traditional credit card processors, banks and the duopoly of App-stores through in-app purchases.
  • Non-rewards purchases. All businesses and third-party platforms receive a free, minimum amount of no-risk, no-cost advertising for each of their offers and advertisements. Phinge will only take a 10% commission from the direct sales produced from them for cash payments made through PhingePay at the point-of-sale. Businesses and consumers receive a portion of Phinge's commission in the form of rebate and referral rewards.
  • Legacy model: Banks and credit card processors (Visa, Mastercard, etc.) operate on an interchange fee model, where businesses are charged a percentage of each transaction. These fees, often 2-4%, can add up to billions of dollars in revenue for these financial institutions.
  • Disruption: By moving transactions off the traditional network through rewards, Netverse could divert a significant portion of this revenue. A business that processes a customer's payment directly through PhingePay using rewards instead of Visa or Mastercard would save on fees and, in turn, offer more value back to the customer and its own bottom line.
Enhanced security and fraud prevention.
  • Netverse model: Transactions on Netverse use hardware-based verification, confirming the identities of both the consumer and the business through Phinge's proprietary devices. This direct verification eliminates many of the fraud vectors inherent in traditional systems.
  • Legacy model: Credit card transactions rely on authentication processes that are vulnerable to data breaches, phishing, and other forms of cyber fraud. This forces banks and processors to invest heavily in security infrastructure and pass the costs of fraud detection and chargebacks on to merchants and consumers.
  • Disruption: Netverse's approach to security, which will be built into its patented hardware, could lead to a lower incidence of fraud and chargebacks. A more secure, verifiable ecosystem would not only attract more users but also reduce the costs associated with fraud for merchants and the payment network itself.
Integrated rewards economy and loans.
  • Netverse model: The platform includes PhingePay, a universal payment system integrated with a universal rewards system. These rewards can be used for purchases anywhere on Netverse. Phinge also plans to offer interest-free, buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) loans to users, with future earned rewards used for repayment.
  • Legacy model: Credit card companies offer rewards programs and lines of credit, but they are often tied to specific cards or networks. Loans are typically managed by a bank or a dedicated fintech company.
  • Disruption: Netverse creates a more fluid, integrated, and self-contained financial ecosystem. Users are motivated to use PhingePay to earn and redeem rewards, while the BNPL feature provides an alternative to traditional credit products. This creates a compelling financial loop where users are incentivized to conduct all their transactions within the Netverse, effectively disintermediating external banks and processors.
Seamless, integrated financial management.
  • Netverse model: PhingePay provides users and businesses with a single dashboard to manage purchases, transactions, and rewards across the entire ecosystem. This eliminates the need for merchants to manage multiple systems for sales, payments, inventory, and marketing.
  • Legacy model: Merchants today typically use separate POS terminals, payment processors, and business management software. The data from these systems is often siloed, making real-time analysis and action difficult.
  • Disruption: Netverse's unified approach simplifies financial management for businesses. It provides them with granular, real-time sales data and the ability to automatically trigger deals based on that data. For consumers, it means managing all finances—purchases, rewards, and loans—in one place.
Shift away from proprietary hardware and software.
  • Netverse model: Phinge's proprietary hardware and software serve as a secure, closed ecosystem. Netverse cannot be accessed through traditional apps on devices from Apple or Google, meaning users enter through the Phinge hardware.
  • Legacy model: Banks and payment processors are typically hardware and software agnostic, relying on interoperability across many different platforms and devices. This creates a dependency on external technology.
  • Disruption: Netverse creates an end-to-end payment and banking solution built around its own hardware. This gives Phinge complete control over the entire user experience and the user permissible data it generates, rewarding users and merchants in a way traditional financial institutions cannot

Summary of Netverse disruption

Netverse's strategy is not to build a better version of today's App-based credit card and fintech platforms but to re-architect the entire fintech ecosystem and experience to benefit both buyers and sellers.
