Before
the opening bell, Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) announced that PayOnline,
its wholly-owned subsidiary, has entered into an agreement with Dunkin’ Donuts
(NASDAQ: DNKN) that will enable the coffee and baked goods chain to accept
payments for online ordering and delivery services in Russia. Since its entry
into the Russian market in 2010, Dunkin’ Donuts has experienced rapid growth.
Today, DNKN operates 33 coffee houses in Moscow alone.
Earlier
this year, Dunkin’ Donuts introduced online ordering and delivery services on
its official site on the Russian internet in an effort to better meet the needs
of individuals residing and working in this market. Through its new agreement
with PayOnline, DNKN will seek to enhance this service by enabling easy and
secure payment acceptance spanning a range of common payment methods, including
Russian national payment cards, Visa (NYSE: V), Visa Electron, MasterCard
(NYSE: MA) and Maestro.
“When
choosing a payment partner, the determining factors for us were: a favorable
cost factor, good image of the partner in the market, and a positive feedback
from existing clients,” Stanislav Petrushin, marketing department specialist
with Dunkin’ Donuts, stated in this morning’s news release. “In addition, it is
critical for us to provide ease-of-use and loyalty to our clients. As a result,
friendly and adaptive payment interface and around-the-clock support for payers
finally persuaded us to choose Net Element’s PayOnline as our payments
partner.”
Through
its new partnership with Dunkin’ Donuts, Net Element is primed to build upon
the recent growth recorded by its PayOnline subsidiary. Earlier this month, the
company announced plans to expand PayOnline’s foothold in Central Asia, opening
an office in Kazakhstan alongside its existing sales office in Yekaterinburg,
Russia. Early results from these efforts have been promising. Just last week, Net
Element highlighted strong growth in its transaction processing volume during
the first seven months of 2016. Discounting the effects of foreign currency
exchange, the company realized a 77 percent year-over-year increase in total
dollars processed from January to June 2016, with online solutions leading the
way with a 90 percent year-over-year spike.
This
solid performance has also positioned Net Element to increase its visibility
within the investor community. The company was recently named one of the fastest-growing
technology companies of 2016 by the South Florida Business Journal. Earning a
spot on this prestigious list, which is based on percentage growth over a
two-year time frame, served as “a testament to the hard work and dedication of
the entire Net Element team,” according to Oleg Firer, chief executive officer
of Net Element. The company will be featured alongside other 2016 Technology
Award winners in an upcoming special edition of the South Florida Business
Journal.
