Netevia breaks into the $7.7 trillion B2B sales market
MIAMI, FL, June 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) (“Net Element” or the “Company”), a global technology and value-added solutions group that supports electronic payments acceptance in a multi-channel environment including point-of-sale (“POS”), e-commerce and mobile devices, announces the extension of its Netevia platform to include a smart solution for enabling secure vendor payments.
According to Statista’s 2017 B2B Ecommerce report, “B2B business is now dwarfing that of the B2C business.” Global B2B sales are estimated at $7.7 trillion, compared to $2.3 trillion in B2C sales. Netevia’s vendor payments solution streamlines B2B payments by improving payment processes and reducing the costs to send payments through a user-friendly web and mobile platform interface.
Netevia advantages include:
- Payments are safely and electronically delivered using a secure single-use dynamic credit card number. These payments can only be processed by the designated single vendor for a specific amount, and have added controls for improved flexibility and security
- Seamlessly works with existing accounting systems, and requires no complex setup or integration
- 24/7 customer support by phone, email or live chat
“We are excited to enable this functionality on our Netevia platform and make Netevia a market platform where small and medium-sized businesses can find comprehensive and innovative card payments-oriented solutions to enhance their operations. Enabling vendor payments is one more step towards achieving this goal,” commented Vlad Sadovskiy, president of integrated payments for Net Element.
