Platform Description
The VAP platform allows Virtual Agents to load float, which can be used to facilitate transactions on ZendRemit. When a transaction occurs on ZendRemit, ZendRemit may request float from the VAP platform. The VAP platform's algorithms will select participating Virtual Agent accounts, and the participating funds will be issued from the agent's "Float" account to be used in the payout transaction finalization process. The Virtual Agent earns commissions when their float funds are used in transaction completion.
Participation and Commission
By participating in the VAP platform, the Virtual Agent agrees to provide float funds, which will be held for the duration assigned by ZendRemit for the specified time period ("Y"). The Virtual Agent earns commissions on the float funds provided, which will be credited to the "Outstanding Commissions" account until they are simultaneously (as with outstanding float) credited into the main "Commissions" account in approximately T + X business days after payout participation. The percentage commissions shown are estimates and may be subject to change.
Purchase of Participating Credits
Loading of agent float is deemed as the purchase of participating credits. Virtual Agents can load float through the VAP platform using the available payment options provided.
Outstanding Float and Commissions
The used-up funds remain outstanding ("Outstanding Float") until they are returned back into the agent's float account in approximately T + X business days after the payout process. The Virtual Agent's commissions also remain outstanding ("Outstanding Commissions") until they are credited into the main "Commissions" account in approximately T + X business days after payout participation.
