Mobile-based purchasing by the world’s consumers is booming thanks to smartphones and other portable devices. Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE) is tapping into that expanding e-commerce world with its focus on small- to medium-sized businesses in the United States and select emerging markets.
Florida-based Net Element is a global financial technology company delivering a wide range of value-added solutions that support electronic payments in an omni-channel environment that spans point-of-sale, e-commerce, and mobile devices.
Its PayOnline subsidiary, launched July 2017 in the United States, supports more than 100 payment methods in as many currencies, in addition to credit card acceptance, and it is certified with most payment processors in the United States and globally.
PayOnline’s Instant Payment Module utilizes chat-bots with four popular instant messaging apps to help retailers interact with consumers, which Net Element believes represents a global opportunity for the company.
This major consumer habit of buying online, fueled by millennials, bodes well for Net Element and its long-term growth opportunities as e-commerce markets expand.
An online retail forecast from Forrester, cited by Digital Commerce 360, predicts that U.S. shoppers will splurge on nearly $460 billion in online sales in 2017, proving the global marketplace is ripe for Net Element’s ideas (http://dtn.fm/w4DoU).
