With integration across 27 DETRANs (Department of Transit) nationwide, Zapay serves vehicle owners in various Brazilian states, addressing the complexities of vehicle debt management.

This B2C model directly serves individual vehicle owners who utilize the platform to discover and pay their debts. Payment options include credit cards, which can be split into up to 12 installments, as well as PIX and boleto for immediate payment. This fee structure is tied to the debts being settled, allowing Zapay to earn revenue on each transaction processed, enhancing customer accessibility in the automotive sector.
