Pros and cons of using ecoPayz

Pros

✅ Speedy transactions: Using ecoPayz to send and receive cash is very quick, largely because your funds are transferred electronically. Sending money with ecoPayz is faster than using both credit cards and bank transfers.

✅ High-level safety and security: ecoPayz uses various bank-grade security measures including advanced encryption and fraud prevention techniques to protect users from irregular activity, giving you extra reassurance that your money is safe.

✅ Complete e-wallet services: As mentioned, today ecoPayz offers a full e-wallet package, which is certainly capable of rivalling established alternatives such as PayPal.

✅ Familiar feel: ecoPayz is specifically designed to be inherently intuitive and easy to use, so that making transactions on it doesn’t feel much different to using online banking or any other e-wallet service.

✅ Easy to track your gambling: Some bettors like to specifically track their gambling activity from other forms of spending, so that they can more closely monitor it. ecoPayz easily allows you to do just that, with trackable top-ups and transaction features.

Cons

❌ Not yet widely available: While it is an impressive product, ecoPayz’s reputation is still growing within the e-wallet space and lags behind alternatives such as PayPal. This is reflected by the fact that it is not yet offered by all sportsbooks available to bettors in Canada.
