VANCOUVER / ACCESSWIRE / June 25, 2014 / NetCents Systems Ltd., ("Netcents") would like to announce that it has reached an agreement in principle to be the exclusive transaction processor for a locally based crypto-currency (BitCoin) company. While final details have to be formalized, the platform integration process has begun.
In only a few short months, this company has developed its own crypto-currency, opened a datacenter for Bitcoin mining, secured over 10 terahashes in Bitcoin mining equipment and is launching their own Bitcoin exchange. This agreement not only means netCents will be the exclusive transaction processor but NetCents users, when they log into their accounts will have both cash balances and bitcoin balances.
The use and acceptance of digital currencies is growing rapidly as major mainstream retailers integrate the required protocols to accept them. As an example, two of the largest e-commerce sites, overtsock.com and tigerdirect.com now accept Bitcoin as do Home Depot, CVS, Kmart, Sears and Amazon.
Digital currencies represent the future of mobile and online transactions. But underlying the movement to digital transactions is the need for users to load their "digital wallets" which still requires a money transfer of some form. This is where NetCents is extremely well positioned to enable these transactions to occur in a secure risk free environment.
This agreement will ideally position Netcents to not only serve the current traditional cash based payment processing sector but to also capture the growth in the crypto-currency.
