How does the Katanox payment process differ from VCC/CCs?

Katanox uses a direct, automated payout model instead of virtual or physical credit cards. Payments are processed digitally through Katanox, funds are settled to the property on a predictable schedule, and there’s no need to handle VCCs, card charges, or manual reconciliation. This reduces fees, fraud risk, and operational workload compared to traditional VCC/credit card payments.
