How it works
Three steps, and two of them are one tap.
- You ask.Type the amount and what it is for. You get a
link.
- They pay.They open the link, long-press the code, and
pay in WeChat or Alipay. No account, no app, no sign-up.
- You are paid.The money settles to your own bank account
in your own currency.
What it costs
2%
Taken from the amount received.
The person paying is charged the amount they owe and nothing more.
Network and currency-conversion charges are set by the payment provider
and shown before anything is sent.
Who it is for
People, not companies.
Tutors, translators, consultants, designers, writers, agents, small
studios and sole traders outside China with clients inside it.
Ordinary payment services are built for registered businesses with a
website and a merchant account. Most of the people doing this work have
neither, and their alternative is a bank branch, a form, and several
days of not knowing.
What Dealio does not do
It never holds your money.
- Payments are processed and funds are held by a licensed payment
provider. Dealio is not a bank and is not a money transmitter.
- Each recipient is identity-checked by that provider, and the money
settles to their own account. It does not pass through a Dealio
balance.
- No cash. No cryptocurrency. No bearer instruments.
- No goods trade, no marketplace, no escrow. Payment for services
between two people who already know each other.
- It is not a way around anybody's reporting requirements or limits.
The provider's own limits and checks apply to every payment.
- The service is not encrypted end to end and does not claim to be.
Who built it
Tom Shanahan.
He presented Rediscovering China on CCTV's English channel, and
has worked between Australia and China since. He has raised over
US$20 million for start-ups.
He built Dealio because he kept watching the same thing happen: the
work done, both sides happy, and the money stuck at a bank counter.
前央视英语频道《Rediscovering China》主持人，采访过科比、
比利时王室、卢森堡大公。后来做电影制作人，也为初创公司融资超过两千万美元。
澳大利亚《Today》节目也请他去聊在中国做事的经历。
做这个，是因为同样的事看了太多次：活干完了，两边都满意，
钱卡在银行柜台。
Who runs it
One person, in Australia.
