The integration involved setting up the Aliant payment processing environment to work with the NetCents cryptocurrency merchant gateway along with the development of requested custom built feature sets. This integration was tested in the live environment to ensure that the integration runs seamlessly when deployed and was finalized two weeks ago. With the development and testing phases successfully completed, the Aliant/NetCents integration has been pushed live to the Aliant merchant network and ready to begin merchant integrations.
"We are pleased with the successful launch of our integration with Aliant," stated Clayton Moore, CEO of NetCents Technology. "This is just the first step to bringing cryptocurrency transactions to the masses and as our partnership grows we continue to look to integrate even more of our services and product offerings."
With the successful launch, the project has moved into the merchant onboarding and education phase. As this phase progresses, Aliant's US-based merchants now have the opportunity to allow their customers to pay with cryptocurrency.
"After many months of development, we are very pleased with the product Aliant and NetCents are delivering to the market place." Stated Eric Brown, CEO of Aliant Payment Systems. "By integrating merchant and cryptocurrency processing in the Poynt Smart Terminal, we are leading the way in merchant processing and our customers will benefit with a one stop shop for all their payment needs."
NetCents Technology and Aliant have an exclusive five (5) year revenue sharing agreement where Aliant offers a cryptocurrency processing solution to their network of merchants. Through this agreement, NetCents is white labelling Aliant its cryptocurrency merchant gateway. The NetCents platform is the underlying technology that processes all of Aliant's cryptocurrency transactions and will give access to their nearly 7,000 US-based merchants to accept cryptocurrency as a payment option as well as expand Aliant's merchant base as demand from merchants for cryptocurrency payment options continues grow.
"International interest in cryptocurrency is driving demand for our merchant platform. The interest and momentum that we have experienced over the past 3-months is building more rapidly than expected at this point in time." Added Clayton Moore. "With the integration with Aliant complete along with our recent deployment with Poynt Smart Terminals and upcoming merchant application release in the Google Play and Apple App Stores, the international demand for the NetCents merchant platform is growing at an exponential rate."
