NEXT Network has referred to 2015 as
‘The Year of Mobile Payment’, and there’s good reason to acknowledge the title.
With developing countries beginning to utilize cashless payments, which
accounted for over 366 billion transactions in 2013 alone, the global mindset
is clearly evolving regarding the way we pay. As Apple Pay continues to rapidly
grow in popularity, the presence of NFC technology is likely to spread, opening
the door for competing mobile payment providers to enter and revolutionize the
young market.
IFAN Financial, Inc. (OTC: IFAN) has
already proven many of the benefits of mobile payment solutions through the
development of its proprietary Quidme platform. Available on both Apple and
Google mobile app stores, the company’s software has been shown to
significantly reduce the possibility of identity theft while providing
merchants with lower processing fees and cheaper, safer transactions between
users. As consumer adoption of mobile payment solutions continues to increase,
IFAN’s portfolio of payment offerings gives the company strong growth
potential.
The company recently announced in a
press release the benefits the overall mobile payments industry could
experience as a result of major technology companies’ entry into the space. In
addition to Apple, IFAN stands to benefit immensely from the entry of social
media giant Facebook into the fold.
“We’re excited to see a social
networking leader like Facebook enter the dynamic mobile payments space,”
stated Christopher Mizer, President and Chief Executive Officer of IFAN. “We
believe that Facebook’s participation in the mobile payments arena will likely
accelerate consumer adoption of peer-to-peer money transfers via smartphone and
ultimately add value to our platforms.”
Proliferation of peer-to-peer payment
methods should place IFAN into a strong strategic position, particularly in
emerging markets. While social networking companies open the door for increased
consumer adoption, IFAN is in a unique position to leverage its own payment
solution, which doesn’t require a data plan to use. Though smartphone
penetration continues to grow, Mobiforge estimated that global access to mobile
data was still at approximately 24.5 percent as of 2013. As cashless and mobile
payments continue to gain steam in developing markets, this should give IFAN a
significant strategic advantage in gaining global market share.
“Our strategy is to take advantage of
the anticipated momentum and explore potential opportunities to integrate… our
IFAN platforms, once fully operational,” continued Mizer.
With the major moves throughout the
industry continuing to increase consumer trust regarding mobile payment
solutions, it’s an exciting time for both executives and investors of this
growing company.
