THE STORY

This venture started with a simple need: how to pay a hardworking hotel housekeeper after a stay when I do not see the person, I can't leave my credit card info and really do not want to ask for a phone number or any kind of app user information. PayPal and Venmo would not do it for me.

The "eureka" moment came in 2016, and, by September 2017 TipZyp, Inc. was born, and Intellectual Asset Partners LLC had created the first version of the software and filed the patent application.

The tipping business venture has been spun off, to focus on its own dedicated business - we all believe in that value to travelers, hotel property owners and the staff.

Our company is now Vaiu Global Inc., and the product has expanded to be a transaction platform for established and new ventures to use. We don't like to use terms like game-changer and revolutionary, but those are words our potential customers have used.

"You have turned the transaction on its head and by doing so, removed much of the complexity and cost inherent in our current processing." -- Head of Global Consumer Platform for a major global card processor.

We used the latest stable technology. We built a transaction platform capable of processing at scale, flexible, and low-cost to operate.

Our KYC/AML compliant service with software components and services is ready for banks, telcos, and governments all over the world.

We're excited to be considered by a number of central banks, including the US Fed, and to have the praise of global leaders in this field of digital transactions and money who say "simple and elegant" -- "the closest thing to a cash transaction" and all of this without a dependency on blockchain.

We're proud to be building out a national infrastructure for cash-like digital transactions everywhere, starting with Kosovo with leading partners there, Raiffeisen Bank Kosovo and Gjirafa Mall.
