$NETE Launches Future-Ready Multi-channel Payments Platform, Netevia

Netevia to provide same business-day settlement and funding for merchants

MIAMI, FL, Feb. 07, 2018 — Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) (“Net Element” or the “Company”), a global technology and value-added solutions group, today launched its newest multi-channel payments platform, Netevia. Connecting and simplifying payments across sales channels through a single integration point, Netevia delivers end-to-end payment processing through easy-to-use APIs. This model complements Net Element’s ability to perform in a multi-channel environment, including point-of-sale (POS), e-commerce, mobile devices and will enable the company to perform in blockchain technology solutions.

Netevia will form part of the recently announced decentralized blockchain technology solutions that enable an unlimited number of value-added services (“VAS”) to connect merchants and consumers via blockchain technology, while increasing economic efficiency of all transactions being made within the ecosystem. With new features to be implemented on the platform, Netevia plans to disrupt everyday commerce.

Netevia features a user-friendly developer center with language-agnostic APIs, SDKs and sandbox for testing. Netevia is fully integrated with major payments platforms and smart payment terminals that allow merchants to accept most payment methods in multiple currencies internationally. A flexible payments hub makes it easy and fast to add new features and services as payment needs evolve.  Additional security and fraud prevention options within the Netevia platform include more than 150 risk monitoring filters, vaulting, tokenization and point-to-point encryption which reduce the PCI DSS scope and help minimize compliance burden.

Integrations with major payments platforms make it possible for merchants and developers to integrate payment acceptance into everyday commerce through easy to use APIs, no matter what device is being used. Instant merchant on-boarding, same business day settlement and funding, as well as value-added features such as gift and loyalty business solutions drive repeat business and increased sales. Payment conversion and smart-routing optimization help merchants reach up to 99.2% conversion rates, which translate into increased revenues. This transparent, turn-key solution with low processing fees is available with no setup, monthly or hidden fees. Visit www.netevia.com for more information.

“Netevia was designed by developers with developers in mind,” commented Andrey Krotov, Net Element’s chief technology officer. “We put together all the building blocks needed for developers and merchants to integrate payments into their everyday commerce. The Netevia platform delivers a blueprint and easy to use tools for global commerce and monetization, saving developers and merchants time and money with one provider and one integration across all sales channels.”
