Which banks are involved with Zombaio?
 
As we are always told that it is some unnamed acquirer's fault that Zombaio has payout problems, I thought it could be interesting to find out who this mysterious acquirer is.

A look at the bank statement shows that:

The wire transfers from the Swedish company Cawen Financial Group AB come from two accounts in the German bank Commerzbank AG (BIC: COBADEFFXXX). Zombaio (Cawen) switched to using another account in Commerzbank somewhere in November 2011. Both accounts are owned by Cawen Financial Group AB.

Is Commerzbank the acquirer who allegedly is responsible for Zombaio's numerous payout delays?

Zombaio also claims on their website that Nordea Bank in Copenhagen is issuing their checks.

So who is this mysterious acquirer who always fucks up with payments?

Commerzbank AG in Germany?
Nordea Bank A/S in Denmark?

Or perhaps a Nordea Bank branch in New York or is it actually the main Nordea Bank AB head-quarter in Sweden?


A search for the Nordea Bank branch in New York returns the following:

Nordea Bank Finland PLC
437 Madison Ave #21
New York, NY 10022
United States
+1 212-318-9300

SWIFT / BIC Code: NDEAUS3NXXX


So it looks like Nordea Bank in 3 different Nordic countries is involved.

Nordea Bank AB (Sweden)

Nordea Bank Danmark A/S (Denmark)

Nordea Pankki Suomi Oyj (Finland)

+

Commerzbank AG (Germany)

Any other banks involved?

How to find out which bank Zombaio used

This applies to those of you who receive wire transfers from Zombaio.

1. Find a Zombaio payment on your bank account statement

2. Locate the sender's IBAN number
(it is 22 characters long. The first 2 characters are letters, and the remaining are digits)

3. Insert the sender's IBAN number in an online tool like the one below.

Validate an IBAN

This will give you useful information about where the money came from.
Also pay attention on your account statement to which company name was used as the sender for the payout.

It seems you're looking for the acquiring bank (and not for the bank where they have their accounts)....
I asked a friend of me who works for the card Issuer for the acquirer of a transaction and got it that way.
In Europe your card issuer mostly will not provide you such information.

Anyway there exist only a small number of acquirer in Europe who would accept this kind of Business.

This is not a special x-mas offer, this is for real!

I know many of you think that it is impossible for high risk processors to charge you at rates close to main stream content processing. Let me explain.

We started to process in the adult industry for over a year ago with the initial attitude that this was going to be a very tuff business when it comes to manage risk. We started to process at 10.5%, a bit under the competitors in the business, but that was our way to ?buy? market shares. After one year and processing of 211 760 adult transactions we had an internal risk assessment meeting and went through chargebacks, problems, closed websites, refunds etc during the adult year and the conclusion was that our internal anti fraud system together with Verified by Visa, MasterCard Secure Code and J/Secure did better than expected so we decided to set our rates where it should be when it comes to matching the risk.

We process your adult credit card transactions at 4.9% with 14 days holdback and 261 paydays / year (daily payouts). Of course you can choose to have weekly or monthly payouts but the rate is always at 4.9%. We support cross sells, up sells and are integrated in both MPA3 and NATS and for smaller sites we have an integrated affiliate solution.

Now, many of you will probably ask which acquirers we are working with, and the answer is many in different regions among First Data Germany and US, Citibank US, Nordea Sweden, BOC Cyprus, Nordea US (New York Branch).

As Jesper said a year ago from now (with more or less luck ;)

We are here to stay! And that has not changed!

No, we don't charge the $750 registration fee right now. We would have a hard time taking over smaller merchant if we did. The registration is on us for a while, maybe forever.

Yes, of course. We are backend processors with ITOT, iocharge.com among others... but with separate staff. Lets keep this thread focused on Adult billing and Zombaio and if you guys need more info abut gaming, hit me up on ICQ... :thumbsup

Source: https://gfy.com/15212856-post92.html

Just for clarification, ioCharge.com was a project run by John Cavebring (former name John Lundberg) and Jesper Thörnblad. The predecessor of Zombaio (when they processed for the gambling industry instead of the adult industry)

So what you are saying, and I'm quoting your own words, is that neither bank processes 5967 transactions?

In that case, each and every transaction that results in a sale being made with either of these banks for a 5967 merchant is improperly coded, invalid, and against card association rules.

There is no other conclusion, based on what you've just said. Perhaps the folks you deal with at each of these banks would provide something in writing stating that they are allowing you to run 5967 transactions legitmately, without coding them as such? If it were on each bank's company letterhead, I'd be the first person to refer you business.

Zombaio admits that they run adult transactions (code 5967) via First Data and Citibank by using the wrong transaction codes, to hide the true nature of the transaction.

Good for you kimmy, I've been in the billing industry since 2001 so i'm not new to this. I have never stated that is such thing as an indirect 5967 transaction so I don't know what to answer here...

Love to be on your friendly list but I guess we never will...

John Cavebring is it you? No need to hide behind the pseudonym "Tomas B. Anderson" anymore. :winkwink:
