WebMoney Transfer is a company established in 1998 in Russia. It is dedicated to creating an environment for businesses to track and attract funds, resolve disputes, and make safe financial transactions.
Their technology is based on interfaces that the users can use to manage their property rights, keep their rights safe by Guarantors, and store their funds in “purses” holding electronic money corresponding to an underlying asset like a currency.
Prices/Fees
The Web Money system currently supports a limited number of the so-called “purses”. Each purse accounts for the property rights of different types of valuable assets and is subject to different system fees.
System fees are charges imposed on each transaction carried out within the Web Money Transfer System. These fees are meant to cover the cost of providing information and technology services required for communication between correspondents in the system. The minimum amount of these fees is 0.01% of the payment amount, while the maximum amount is limited to the figures specified below.
| Purse Type | Equivalent | Fee Charge |
|---|---|---|
| Z-purse | WMZ A US dollar equivalent (proof of a purchase made at www.megastock.com) | 50 |

When performing operations with confirmation using the phone number, an additional commission may be charged.
Owners of D-type purses are taxed by the system for carrying out credit transactions in an amount equal to 0.1% of each credit they provide but not less than 0.01 WMZ (Z-purse, US dollar).

Loan
Credit Service
The loan payroll system supported by the WebMoney platform offers WM-purse holders the ability to purchase goods and services on credit or extend loans to other members. The system automatically records the loan amount and repayment term in the transaction history of the lender and debtor while ensuring the timely repayment of loans through subsequent monitoring.
Loans are granted for a duration stipulated by the lender, and upon its expiration, the member is expected to discharge their obligations fully. To facilitate loan transactions, the system utilises WMC and WMD purses.
It is important to note that the loan payroll system is governed by the Loan Service Agreement, which outlines the terms and conditions of the lending and borrowing process.
Loan Provision
WebMoney Transfer users can automate the lending process through Interface X1, allowing online shops and services to invoicing customers for goods and services.
The borrower’s loan status can be checked on the “Certificate” tab under “User properties”, and the lender sets the loan term. The Paymer registers an unconditional debt obligation upon loan transaction, and if the borrower fails to repay, the lender can receive the remaining amount through C- and D-purses. The debt is then managed by Paymer service.
Loan Repayment
To repay a loan in WebMoney Transfer, a borrower needs to access the transaction history of their C-purse, select the loan, and click “Repay the loan”.
Upon specifying the Z-purse number for repayment and the repayment amount in an A form and clicking “Transfer”, the specified amount of WMZ will be transferred from the borrower’s to the lender’s Z-purse. The amounts in WMD and WMC in purses D and C will be reduced. The loan can be repaid in single or multiple transactions but is only considered fully repaid if the borrower pays in full using WMZ title signs.
Loan Service – Contract a Debt
The Debt Service offered by WebMoney allows system members to lend their funds to users and manage loan records and repayment schedules.
Loans are granted in WMZ, WMH, WMX, WML, WMF, and WMT units, subject to the lender’s specified conditions.
Access to the Debt Service functions is available to WebMoney system members with a formal certification or higher.
It is important to note that all debt transactions, including loan disbursement and repayment, must be conducted exclusively through the Debt Service. Direct transfers between Keeper accounts are not considered part of the lending process.
How to Contract a Debt?
The Paymer service allows lenders to request a trust limit from users, granting access to funds based on predetermined conditions.
Loan guarantees in the Paymer service consist of unconditional obligations that can be paid to the bearer twice the debt amount, serving as a safety net in case of repayment default.
WebMoney Transfer system members with a formal and business-level certificate of 15 points or higher can easily secure immediate loans through the automated Debt service. Each member’s debt amount, term, and percentage rate are calculated based on individual qualifications, with a maximum debt limit of 300 WMZ.
How to Grant a Loan?
Lenders possessing idle funds may want to lend their assets to unknown borrowers who have submitted applications for loans on the Debt service. Lenders can then search for suitable applications and contact potential borrowers who have provided all the necessary information.
If they don’t find a suitable loan application, lenders can then place an offer with their loan conditions and wait for borrowers to contact them.
The process of lending through Debt service involves several stages. Once the lender selects a borrower, the lender must open a credit line (trust limit) specifying the percentage for using the loan, maximum amount, and loan term. The borrower then needs to consent to these conditions.
Once the credit line is opened, the borrower can access funds within the specified trust limit. After the loan term expiration, the borrower must repay the funds with interest.
Arbitrage
The arbitrage feature includes forms for submitting complaints, submitting claims, and registering contracts. These services are only available to registered members of WebMoney.

Security and Privacy
WebMoney Transfer was developed to meet the current security requirements for online information management systems. They offer three primary authentication methods: login and password, files with secret keys, and personal digital certificates.
In addition, they offer two forms of additional transaction confirmation: sending verification codes to the phone and using E-Num, a service for generating one-time passwords.
The system architecture is designed to provide secure access to WM wallets for users and prevent settlements using WM wallets with insufficient funds. The system also offers resistance to connection faults on the system level, ensuring that funds are always either on the sender’s or receiver’s WM wallet. This approach eliminates the possibility of losing WM funds.
During the registration, users are assigned a unique 12-symbol WM identifier, which they will use further to log into the system. The WM identifier cannot be used to learn WM wallet numbers. Users can install unlimited WebMoney Keeper versions on their computers and sign into the system using different WM identifiers.
WM Keeper feature enables users to configure the display of personal information, which will be shown to other participants. During transactions, the second party can access only the selected data.
Company Background
Founded in 1998, WebMoney became a global settlement system over the 25 years spent on the market. They mainly cater to businesses working online. Their tools and services help users track their funds, obtain funding, resolve disputes, and make secure transactions.
WebMoney’s technology is based on a standardised interface through which users can manage their property rights and valuables.
Users’ valuables are kept safe by specialised companies called Guarantors. Users can register multiple WM purses with any Guarantor, with all purses owned by a single user conveniently kept within a Keeper assigned to their WMID registration number.
The internal currency used for transactions within the system is measured in WebMoney units (WM). To interact with the system, all participants must provide verified personal information through the Certification service.
Every participant in the system is automatically assigned a public Business Level parameter based on the number of transactions completed with other system users.
