Russia's top mobile payments service provider demonstrates noteworthy growth
MIAMI, March 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) ("Net Element" or the "Company"
, a technology-driven group specializing in mobile payments and value-added transactional services in emerging countries and in the United States, announces that its subsidiary, OOO TOT Money ("TOT Money" , has reached a crucial company milestone by exceeding 1 million recurring mobile payment subscribers in January 2015.
Evidencing impressive market penetration, TOT Money's monthly processed volume for January 2015 increased by 12% over the prior month and 49% over April 2014, which was when the new TOT Money platform was launched. TOT Money has also seen a double digit, quarter over quarter growth in subscribers during 2014.
This growth reaffirms TOT Money as an industry leader in the growing mobile payments market in Russia where the company captures a 10% share of the overall market, according to a market size assessment by J'son & Partners Consulting report of the Russian Market of Mobile Operators Payments. In addition, TOT Money has maintained the rank as a Top 3 mobile payments provider for 2 consecutive years, according to a rating published by Russia's 2(nd) largest telecom provider, OSJC VimpelCom, a wholly owned subsidiary of VimpelCom Ltd, providing services under the "Beeline" brand in Russia.
J'Son & Partners Consulting forecasts the turnover of payments more than 50.6 billion RUB in 2018 and the compound annual growth (CAGR) in the period of 2013 -- 2018 is expected to be 31%.
"These incredible January figures reflect our commitment to serving emerging markets with an expansion of innovative services that further propel Net Element as a leading payment-as-a-service provider in Russia and the CIS," states Net Element CEO Oleg Firer. "We view this achievement as evidence of our continued progression and a confirmation of our solid footing in one of the world's fastest growing regions."
TOT Money enables mobile payment processing services for more than 390 million mobile users in Russia through strategic direct agreements and integrations with Top 3 mobile operators such as Mobile TeleSystem, MegaFon and VimpelCom, Ltd.
Benefiting from a powerful suite of TOT Money services such as premium SMS, WAP-click, Internet-click, in-app purchases and other direct-carrier billing integration services, mobile phone users are able to use their devices to make mobile payments by debiting their mobile operator account.
Konstantin Zaripov, general director of Net Element Russia, states, "The results we've achieved are a direct result of technology and infrastructure investments made by the Company in this rapidly growing mobile market. The strong foundation we've laid will allow for ongoing, rapid growth as the mobile smartphone market continues to expand in Russia and more consumers use mobile payments as a preferred means to conduct secure transactions."
