In an effort to shirk responsibility for paying back over $13 million dollars transferred through it by Payza, PaymentWorld USA has asserted it has no control or anything to do with PaymentWorld Limited (a Hong Kong company) or PaymentWorld LTD SRL (a Moldovan company).
In
the long-running saga
, The Zeek Rewards Receiver has sued PaymentWorld as single entity, claiming CEO Roman Balanko ‘
and PaymentWorld US had access to and control over the information and funds at issue
‘.
In response to the contempt proceedings, filed by PaymentWorld USA and supported by three declarations by CEO Roman Balanko, the company claims
the Receiver completely ignores the fact that Mr. Balanko controlled only PW-USA, and PW-USA did not have a contractual relationship of any kind with Victoriabank.
The receiver assumes that because PW-USA operated the payment gateway through which the merchant transactions were processed, that it must necessarily have also controlled the flow of those funds in and out of Victoriabank.
Nothing could be further from the truth, and to agree with such an assertion is to completely ignore the operational and corporate distinctions between PW-USA, PW-HK (Hong Kong) and PW-SRL (Moldova), as well as the entirely different functions that various entities in the credit card processing industry perform.
The distinction between PW-USA, PW-HK and PW-SRL is the primary basis for PW-USA’s claim its role ‘

PW-HK was formed by Alexander Korkin, a Russian citizen and Moscovite.
PW-SRL is believed to have been formed by Vyacheslav Platon, a Moldovan resident and former majority shareholder of Victoriabank.
According to PaymentWorld USA, the roles the three PaymentWorld entities played in processing Zeek Rewards funds from Payza are as follows:
At no point in time does PW-USA either act as the bank, or control the movement of funds in or out of the bank. Instead, PW-USA works with the bank and the merchant, assisting the bank with risk monitoring and providing a monthly statement to the merchant.
PW-USA also staffs customer service desks to handle merchant inquiries and give the merchants ongoing technical support.
For these services PW-USA receives a fee from the bank on a monthly basis.
On or about November 18, 2010 PW-HK contracted with PW-USA to provide processing services to PW-HK for its international clients.
