the way B2B payments are handled.
1
Prime Payment System
Next-generation processing service for settling instant transactions based on blockchain. Prime Payment service uses the same name as the currency token PRIME, created on the basis of the Ethereum ERC20 standard.
2
Prime Crypto Bank
Prime Crypto Bank will be free to open accounts for entrepreneurs of PRIME token. The bank will also work with the EUR / USD, so organizations can conduct business using the fiat settlements (settlement and cash services) only within one bank.
3
Prime Exchange
Developed for the exchange of USD, EUR, BTC, ETH into PRIME and back. Other popular fiat currency and cryptocurrency pairs will be implemented in the future.
4
Prime Shipping Platform
Matching engine to pair "cargo and carrier" and applying the mechanism of smart contracts for processing escrow in a distributed registry. Each smart contract will store the characteristics of the transaction: the number of PRIME tokens, destination, origin, type of cargo, tonnage, date of shipment.
5
Prime Investment Fund
For investors interested in a passive income with minimal risk, and for storing raised during ICO fiat funds is planned to create an automated hedge fund.
World's first payment system for business customers, small and big corporations, participating in the marine shipping market. Our payment provider uses our own cryptocurrency PRIME and integrates with our crypto bank and exchange.
Prime for business
Our goal is to create an international B2B payment ecosystem for shipping.
Transfers of funds between participants in the supply chain may not reach the addressee, and thus be returned to the sender. The delay in crediting funds to beneficiaries' accounts, even under the most favorable conditions, can reach an excess of 20 days.
Even a single transaction through partner banks can reach several hundred dollars. Multiplying with a large number of transactions, significantly affects the margins of companies.
Don't wait a week for payment
Don't pay 1% for comission
Say "Goodbye" to slow and expensive transactions
and welcome to the future of B2B payments
and welcome to the future of B2B payments
Stop paying banks for using you money
More than 50% of bank use a software from 90's. 34% of banks don't have any mobile apps. 22% don't have online-banking.
Delays in transactions form cash-flow gaps in business and threaten the company.
Don't suffer from outdated software
Don't worry about your business
Instant payments
We provide instant payments, regardless of the jurisdiction of the company participating in the transaction. Instant conversion of PRIME tokens with the USD and other currencies.
Transaction fee will be less than $1. Our payment system is the most efficient way to transfer money or settle contracts.
Intuitive and simple interface of online/mobile banking solutions for web, iOS and Android users.
We make strongly B2B product just for business customers. In our ecosystem we provide all services that shipping business needs.
Cost effective
User friendly software
Tailored for business
PRIME token
The system platform uses Ethereum ERC 20. PRIME token will be used as the primary and only currency for payment within Prime Payment system. The token uses the Ethereum network for deployment and subsequent operations.
B2B ecosystem as a service
Prime Shipping Foundation started with the vision of a technology-driven B2B payment processing which can provide B2B payments with significantly less overhead in the shipping industry. All our products are based on the cloud and store relevant data in blockchain. We provide online services with an interface via modern web & mobile apps. Designed for typical users and businessmen, not for tech geeks.
