Alternet Systems is one of a handful of rapidly emerging
payment processing industry firebrands that are poised to shake up the
transaction space, as we rocket headlong towards a world of increasingly
digital payments. Within the next five years alone, according to BNY Mellon’s
(NYSE: BK) Global Payments 2020 publication, accelerating transformation of the
world of payments will see the sector redefined by the entry of non-traditional
providers, the evolution of new fintech solutions, and the formation of strategic
alliances that cut across traditional sectoral boundaries. Additionally, the
BNY Mellon report cited convergence as the other major theme moving forward,
with technology platforms that are able to revolutionize clearing capabilities
becoming increasingly global in both nature and reach, as well as massive
consolidation around key products and solutions. This same consolidative
pressure is seen as changing the regulatory landscape too, remolding it in
favor of rule sets which provide for a less fragmented space, as well as the
on-ramping of growth in digital currencies.
Alternet Systems, essentially structured as an enterprise
accelerator, has learned the most important lesson to come out of the world of
digital currencies since the inception of Bitcon: that payment processing is
where the real money is at. The company’s vision to execute a roll-up strategy
of digital currency exchanges is way ahead of its time and ALYI is currently
pushing hard for a NY state BitLicense, even as the Winklevoss twins are
setting up the field after their successful launch of the Gemini exchange. If
we look at comments from strategic planning and finance director for the
company which manages the Dominican Republic’s biggest mobile banking platform,
tPago, regarding how the big push in the industry currently is to get people to
use their accounts for more than just receiving payments, it becomes clear how
ALYI’s approach to transforming the landscape makes sense for everyone.
Creating the tools that will allow for greater flexibility
in terms of how people use their accounts will grant financial service
providers high-value, unprecedented access to consumers, and those same tools
will allow consumers to get more bang for their buck when it comes to being
banked. This underlying dynamic makes a great value proposition for unbanked
consumers in markets where access to financial services are limited, but where
mobile access is not. Being able to step in here and provide access to millions
of unbanked or underbanked people, using the mobile platform as a conduit, in
order to tap a consumer market that could go from 30 million devices to over 60
million devices being used to make transactions within the next handful of
years, is a big opportunity for ALYI. The company is prepping for milestone
growth over the next several years, as smartphone market penetration in the
western hemisphere continues to boom throughout Latin America and South
America, while it continues to flatten out in more mature North America
markets. Mobile and mcommerce are primed for explosive growth and a company
which can facilitate this transformation, such as Alternet Systems, is
potentially one of tomorrow’s very hot properties, available today at a price
which is accessible to any investor.
ALYI is currently focused primarily on two distinct areas:
providing omnichannel solutions for the payment processing industry which will
modernize the legacy point-of-sale infrastructure, and providing comprehensive
suites of tools for payment processors and the like, which can enable said
processors to expand beyond traditional debit and credit card processing, into
bill payments and the selling of additional services. Modernizing legacy
point-of-sale architecture and creating toolkits for the payments layer also opens
the door to ALYI’s third, and potentially most exciting operational area, big
data-driven payment analytics. The ability to map and understand the purchasing
habits of consumers is something which is of inestimable value to anyone trying
to make or market a product, and the kind of robust data that can be mined
along the way towards implementing a payment industry-wide architectural
upgrade, will help make analytics companies like ALYI into some of the biggest
names on the lips of retailers.
With a sweeping suite of solutions for the analytics space
already in the hopper and its sights set squarely on markets that are ripe for
penetration, ALYI, which expects to have offices in Brazil and Mexico by the
end of 2016, is intent on providing the financial services/banking sector with
the tools needed to serve massive populations of underbanked and unbanked
throughout Latin America. According to recent World Bank data, roughly 34
percent of the entire population of Latin America, around 200 million adults, remain
unbanked. ALYI’s visionary fusion of capabilities, spanning analytics, digital
commerce and payments, collectively make the company a very exciting property
when it comes to the seemingly inevitable consolidation of technology and
transactional forces now aligning themselves across both U.S. and Latin
American markets.
The rise of mcommerce, which will supercharge the mobile
services market, pushing it from $300 billion last year, to around $850 billion
by 2018 (Digi-Capital), has the capacity to lift boats like ALYI to levels not
yet imagined. The kinds of revolutionary payment technology, fintech and
analytics solutions the company provides could become tomorrow’s go-to
solutions, as the need for convenience and process optimization continues to shape
the world of transactions.
