The process goes something like this: you deposit your money in a bank account or send it via Western Union. You then ask someone here to take that money and pay the real estate developers.<\/p>\n
Sounds simple, right? It generally is, until you consider the third party involved. Try as you might, you will run into problems with that third party, like availability or how far they actually are from where the payment has to be made. The worst, however, is when they don\u2019t make that payment for you.<\/p>\n This is a problem not just for the people who own the units but the people maintaining them: the real estate companies. You lose your investment; they lose the money you\u2019re supposed to be paying them.<\/p>\n Problems arise, people get angry because of unprocessed payments, and everything either goes to court or you lose your property altogether. It causes a lot of strife, yet no one seems to be doing something about it.<\/p>\n This is where Qwikwire<\/strong> comes in.<\/p>\n What is Qwikwire<\/strong><\/p>\n Qwikwire is a secure international payments platform designed for enterprises. It allows companies to collect payments from anywhere in the world. Yes, ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.<\/p>\n They do this using a system\u00a0they\u2019ve developed specifically for accepting and processing payments that was once used to process payroll for freelancers, according to CEO Ray Refundo.<\/p>\n The service they provide is one-of-a-kind, even though the idea sounds very familiar. Instead of providing a one-size-fits-all product, they customize the technology depending on what their client needs and wants to achieve.<\/p>\n A product that works specifically for you<\/strong><\/p>\n At the moment, Qwikwire focuses on real estate and business process outsourcing companies based in the Philippines. The current Qwikwire product was launched in January 2016, but the technology was around since 2013.<\/p>\n Qwikwire\u2019s current form, however, wasn\u2019t as a payment processing tool for real estate. That idea came from someone else. \u201cThe idea came from a retired banking executive I met here in the Philippines. She talked about the problems they faced with real estate payments. I parked the idea at first, but when things didn\u2019t pan out with the first product, I repurposed what we had for real estate,\u201d said Refundo.<\/p>\n To date, Qwikwire is working with 10 clients. They can customize their product depending on the platform they have and the needs and wants of the customer. \u201cUnlike payment processing companies like Xoom and PayPal, we don\u2019t provide a one-size-fits-all product. We customize it based on what the client wants and needs.\u201d<\/p>\n What they provide<\/strong><\/p>\n Qwikwire\u2019s payment processing software covers Billing and Invoicing, Payment Portals, and Customized Dashboards. They can customize the system depending on the customers\u2019 needs, whether it\u2019s for monthly amortizations, reservation fees, or association dues.<\/p>\n They help their clients do away with traditional payment methods like post-dated cheques and bring them into the 21st<\/sup> century with electronic payment processing.<\/p>\n At the end of the day, what they\u2019re hoping for is to give local companies a chance to go global. With cross-border payment processing being a vital part of that, Qwikwire looks to be on its way to doing so.<\/p>\n We\u2019re not going to go too deep into the nitty-gritty of Qwikwire\u2019s service, but if you want to know more, you can visit their website, qwikwire.com<\/a>.

WHAT PAYMENT LOOKS LIKE. For most countries, electronic payments are the way to go. The Philippines, however, still loves its post-dated cheques.\/IMAGE Pixabay<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/07\/2-3.jpg\")
