SUMMARY OF BENEFITS
EFTA01075472
Payments are a form of
transportation service
* Cost: Mycelium offers a definitive advantage
* Speed: Mycelium uses peer-to-peer channels, thus removing
interbank dependency — the slowest component of the traditional
payments process. In distributed ledger technology, there is no need
to trade-off between speed, flexibility, and efficiency
* Security: distributed ledgers offer unprecedented security
* Comfort and connectivity: contextualized commerce
EFTA01075473
Contextualized Commerce
* Invisible payments: a platform level approach helps payments fade
into the background.
* Deriving value from purchase journey: shifting focus away from the
payment mechanism to the surrounding e-commerce experience.
* Resolving pre- and post-payment needs: this is where the real
benefits of Mycelium payments will be unlocked. Removing consumer
pain points both before and after payments occur will create the value
needed to spur widespread adoption.
