About SQID Technologies, in detail

SQID’s software platform enables merchants to receive debit or credit card payments online by providing a connection to an acquiring bank (“Acquirer”) which is a registered member of a card network such as Visa or MasterCard (“Card Network”). The “Card Network” connects “Acquirers” to a customer’s bank (“Issuing Bank”) so that a customer transaction can be verified. When a customer uses a debit or credit card for a purchase, the “Acquirer” will approve  or decline the transaction based on the information the Card Network and Issuing Bank have on record about that cardholder’s account. The merchant submits the purchase transaction information to the payment processor (“SQID”) used by its “Acquirer” via a payment gateway SQID’s software) that facilitates the communication of transaction information.

SQID’s technology provides merchant services and transaction processing to business merchants and ecommerce customers across both ‘Business to Business’ (B2B) and ‘Business to Consumer’ (B2C) segments to bridge both retail and wholesale transactions through its platform. Its technology is powerfully structured to allow layered access to payment and merchant transaction data, and integrates these retail and wholesale layers (creating many separate customer nodes within the network), providing split settlements between each layer. This provides a broad platform for commission structures and transaction-based rewards that are settled at the same time as the underlying transaction is settled. The business model is applicable to significant business channels including affiliate marketing, rewards programs, franchises, marketplace apps, agencies, etc.

 

As a “Payment Processor”, SQID has contracts with merchants to handle transactions from various channels such as credit and debit cards. SQID receives a merchant fee, which is a percentage of the transaction value and also in some cases, a fee per transaction.

 

The current issued share capital of the Company is 7,863,956 fully paid ordinary shares. There are no outstanding options or warrants.

 

On behalf of the board of directors of

SQID TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED.
