Lest euch bitte den neuesten Artikel auf der Aliant FB Seite durch. Sehr aufschlussreich! Interessant finde ich besonders folgenden Absatz bzgl. Einführung von BC als Zahlungsmittel:
"Others are taking a more cautious approach. North American Bancard LLC, a Troy, Mich.-based company and one of the biggest ISOs in the country, is considering “a potential pilot in 2018 for a small portion of our [merchant] base,” says Justin Muntean, senior vice president of sales."
Na, wer würde denn für dieses Pilotprojekt in Frage kommen?!
Und es wird noch etwas über die Gebührenstruktur verraten:
"To handle the back end of Bitcoin, Aliant has signed up NetCents Systems Ltd., a 5-year-old Vancouver, British Columbia-based exchange. For POS transactions, it’s relying on terminals from a Palo Alto, Calif.-based startup, Poynt Corp.
The Poynt device features an app library with business functions that go well beyond payment. The devices deployed by Aliant will work with a specialized connection to NetCents.
Pricing Bitcoin transactions could be tricky for Aliant, since there’s no interchange on which to base rates. Also, Brown says he wants to keep the service economical without attracting merchants that aren’t “serious” about accepting the digital currency.
Right now, Aliant’s Bitcoin transaction pricing ranges from 0.5% to just over 3%, with a fixed fee from a nickel up to 30 cents. The fixed fee depends on volume, which brings it down, and risk, which does the opposite. There is also a monthly ($9.95 to $19.95) and annual ($99) fee.
Other digital currencies could follow at Aliant. Brown says he is convinced “there is a need in the marketplace.” |
