Zin-ix - High volume, high speed cash exchange between players driven by real time events
 
ZIN-ix eliminates the problems and cost of handling large numbers of small monetary transactions, allowing any in-game or in-world event - such as combat, digital asset sales and/or trading between players/users - to generate revenue.
 
ZIN-ix integrates with payment service providers’ customer information stores and systems for payment processing, fraud checking and management of charge-backs.
 
ZIN-ix interfaces easily to your code through a C++ API, which is customized to give you access to the MGT services you chose. ZIN-ix provides the back office processing you need, simply and efficiently, so you can focus on content development - saving valuable time and money – while enabling new revenue opportunities.
 
ZIN-ix also interfaces with MGT’s regulatory engine (Know Your Regulator) so that financial transactions can be controlled to comply with local regulations around the world.
