Digital Accumulating balance payment system
Not started
A digital accumulating balance payment system accumulates small charges (micro-payments) over a period and then debits the total as a single transaction, avoiding the high per-transaction fees that would make many small card payments uneconomical. It is well suited to subscription, pay-as-you-go and content metering models.
- Define an accumulating balance payment system.
- Explain why accumulating balances solve the micro-payment fee problem.
- Identify typical use cases (subscriptions, metered content).
- Compare accumulating balance systems with stored value and digital checking.
