"Securter is developing a ground-breaking payment processing technology that dramatically reduces the security risks associated with online purchases. The Securter™ Payment App allows consumers to use their credit or debit card directly without having to manually input their confidential card"
"information. Securter’s technology turns a consumer’s mobile phone into their own payment terminal (personal card reader/POS), allowing them to tap or scan their credit/debit card on their own phone. After successful completion of the development and certifications of Phase 2 cards would be deemed present (CP) for the online transaction the same way they are when tapped or scanned in-person (in-store), allowing merchants to capture electronic data stored on the card and verify the transaction.
The 1st Stage launch of the Securter™ Payment App including PCI DSS Certification is scheduled for Q4 2021. Following the completion of Phase 1 development, the payment processing solution will be rolled out and made available to merchants and consumers. Securter’s marketing campaign will encourage merchants to sign up to include the Securter payment option as part of their online check-out process, and consumers will be invited to download the Securter™ Payment App to use for their online purchases.
Securter expects revenues to commence after the 1st Stage launch and successful Beta Testing is completed. The Company anticipates revenue to grow monthly and further ramp up after Phase 2 (Q2.2022). Phase 2 will also feature the ‘Tap’ and personalized “PIN” added to the technology.
Market
According to the Nilson Report, the leading global card and mobile payments trade publication, by 2023 total credit, debit and other payment card transaction volume is projected to reach $57 trillion. At the same time, gross card fraud is projected to reach $35.67 billion. The addition of EMV chips to credit cards along with EMV card readers (originally developed by Europay, Mastercard and Visa) made credit cards less susceptible to fraud when the physical card was present.
The Securter payment and online user authentication platform is based on processing of EMV chip technology embedded in credit and debit cards. The technology has been adapted to extend the EMV technology (currently intended for physical Point of Sales/POS) to secure EMV online payments. Securter’s technology leverages the EMV security features offered when a physical card is present (CP) in-store and may make it possible to turn online purchases into card present transactions. The Software application (protected through provisional patent application) transforms a consumer’s smartphone into a personal card reader or POS Terminal. Securter’s patent application process continues with the preparation of our full patent application under PCT.
Fraud Risks
Criminals quickly moved their counterfeit fraud transactions to those when a credit card was not present (CNP), for example online transactions over public WiFi or websites that store credit card information as part of their payment system. Securter’s payment platform and mobile application software design provides cardholders with a secure method of payment using their own mobile device and utilizing built-in NFC (Near Field Communication) capabilities to transform their phone into a payment terminal.
The Payment App allows individuals to use their own phone to tap or scan their credit card to complete a transaction removing the risk of a consumer manually inputting their confidential card information to a website or providing it over the telephone. When making purchases using Securter’s payment processing technology, customers retain control of their card and card data, reducing the security risk and cost per transaction for merchants.
