Management Commentary
Luke D’Angelo, CEO of AppTech commented: “We have accelerated our progression to help meet the planned launch of our Commerse platform in the coming weeks. Our team is hyperfocused on bringing this all-new Fintech product to market as it will create truly seamless omni-channel, immersive experiences for our clients and their customers.
After many months of work, in October we unveiled Commerse, an innovative, cloud-based Commerce Experiences-as-a-Service (“CXS”) platform that is backed by AppTech’s mobile commerce patents, core partner technology and other related internal intellectual property. Commerse seamlessly delivers digital banking, text-to-pay, crypto payments and merchant services altogether from a single, unified platform. Its suite of powerful omni-channel payment and digital banking solutions simplify the process while enabling businesses to offer feature-rich commerce experiences to their customers with minimal effort, along with greater efficiency and a cost savings as well.
The anticipated launch of Commerse later this year has ignited an overwhelming response from our clients who are eager to provide innovative payment technologies, especially crypto integration, to meet the needs of their customers. We are currently working with select clients to perfect Commerse and ensure it sustains high functionality and ease of use.
Our Commerse platform is designed to deliver immersive customer experiences across a broad base of retail industries and clients, including merchants, banking institutions and business enterprises alike. Clients can launch quickly using our off-the-shelf solutions or leverage the flexibility of our Gold Standard APIs to develop custom-tailored experiences or utilize our in-house team of experts to design, build and implement their unique vision.
Our technology is based on our strong portfolio of patents, covering many areas, including mobile-to-mobile and computer-to-mobile payment. Our recent acquisition of Hothand increased our portfolio to 17 total patents. Ownership of these patents, which have been cited by industry-leading corporations, enables us to pursue licensing agreements with hundreds, if not thousands, of companies who are already using AppTech’s intellectual property.
Historically, AppTech has always been a payment processor company—but that will change significantly with the release of our Commerse platform. It officially marks AppTech’s business transformation into a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company with end-to-end digital commerce service offerings. That means we can now pursue new revenue opportunities in the global Fintech-as-a-Service (FaaS) market space. The FaaS market size was valued at USD 232.14 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.2% from 2022 to 2030, reaching USD 949.49 billion by 2030 according to Grand View Research, Inc.
With a strong balance sheet, coupled with our exceptional product and leadership teams, we are well-positioned to successfully execute on our plans to become the premier Fintech SaaS platform powering high-conversion, immersive, commerce experiences for businesses and their customers worldwide.”
