How Azteco makes money

Azteco's main source of revenue is via a flat commission on the face value of every voucher sold. Generally, Azteco earns between 2-6%, and their vendors earn between 3-8% on the gross merchandise volume. The end consumer generally pays a total markup between 5-10% which is split between Azteco and the vendor. Additional revenue streams includes fees earned from routing on the Lightning Network, network fees and from expired vouchers (known as ‘breakage’ in the gift card industry).

Market has immense untapped potential

  Consumers spent $347B online first-half of 2020 in US            retail

  Global remittances were $642B in 2018

  Western Union revenue was $4.8B in 2020

Azteco vs. Bitcoin ATMs

Bitcoin ATMs

There are other Bitcoin voucher companies entering the market. However, Azteco states that it provides a vastly superior user experience as well as a market fitting contextualization, enabling the company to serve everyone world-wide regardless of the consumer’s status, granting it a global reach.

Azteco

Azteco is unique in that it has, through its easy to implement API, the ability to target a wide range of industry verticals. Azteco is sold online as well as offline within a wide range of different types of businesses. Azteco vouchers are currently sold in retail (mom and pop/chain stores), on gaming platforms, through prepaid and mobile value distributors, gift card distributors, incentives and rewards companies.
