Verified merchant reputation that makes customers choose digital over cash
Tunisian retailers are stuck with over 70% cash transactions because fragmented payment systems and consumer distrust block digital wallet adoption.
DinarTrust creates a public trust score for every retailer based on transaction volume, reviews, and dispute resolution speed. Customers see the score before paying, reducing distrust that keeps transactions in cash. Merchants get marketing tools to promote their high trust rating.
