• Instant onboarding, three-hour funding time, enhanced security and payment conversion optimization are among platform’s main features


• Platform further solidifies Net Element’s position as a leading provider of innovative and disruptive payment solutions

Currently at the strongest financial position in its history after a highly successful 2017, global technology and value-added solutions group Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) is moving forward with its goal of simplifying global commerce and payments through proprietary multi-channel platform Netevia (http://ibn.fm/Re8ea).

Launched earlier this year, Netevia is a future-ready multi-channel platform designed to serve as blueprint and set of tools for global commerce and monetization by simplifying and connecting payment across different sales channels via a single integration point. Offering end-to-end payment processing services through easy APIs, the platform was designed by developers with developers in mind, according to Net Element Chief Technology Officer Andrey Krotov, and includes SDKs and sandbox for testing, offering all the building blocks and features needed to integrate payment acceptance into virtually any e-commerce solution.

Netevia is fully integrated with all major platforms, allowing vendors to accept a wide range of payment methods in multiple currencies on any device. The platform is highly flexible, being continuously adjusted and expanded so as to enable the addition of new features and services as payment needs change. Recent or still in development features include free processing in exchange for data, integration with smart terminals for card present sales, gift card solutions to drive increased sales and repeat business and, last but not least, cryptocurrency payment processing for multi-channel transactions.

In addition to flexibility and vast platform compatibility, Netevia offers merchants multiple valuable features, including instant onboarding, same day settlement and funding and payment conversion optimization that can help vendors reach 99.2 percent conversion rates and higher revenues – everything available for a highly competitive price. The latest service, added to the platform in early April 2018, was Fast Pass Funding, which allows eligible merchants to receive funding in as little as three hours during business days, a massive improvement to the previous 12- to 24- hour waiting period. Netevia also provides state-of-the-art security and fraud prevention services via more than 150 risk monitoring filters, vaulting, tokenization and point-to-point encryption.

With a focus on supporting electronic payments acceptance in a multi-channel environment, including point-of-sale, e-commerce and mobile devices, Net Element is uniquely positioned to disrupt the payment processing industry. The group is currently in its best financial situation in history, after a successful year 2017 marked by an increase in revenues ($60.1 million from $54.3 million in 2016), an improved balance sheet of $11.3 million cash in hand and financial debt of $7 million at the end of the year, and a wide array of partnerships geared toward simplifying payments across multiple sales channels worldwide.

Net Element will continue to embrace and develop innovative payment processing technologies in its efforts to capitalize on the fast-growing e-commerce market, which is expected to more than double its value over the next three years and reach $4.88 trillion by 2021, from $2.3 trillion in 2017 (http://ibn.fm/ad8hh).

Earth Science Tech, Inc. (ETST) Plans to Battle Opioid Addiction with Human Clinical Trials in 2019

• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in March 2018, estimated ‘economic burden’ of opioid misuse at $78.5 billion annually


• ETST plans to complete white paper, begin human clinical trials by 2019; company intends to investigate drugs that combine mineral element and cannabinoid industrial hemp oil


• Goal for biotech company is to fight opioid addiction with over-the-counter (OTC) treatment drug and a cannabinoid companion generic drug

Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTC: ETST) is planning to fight opioid addiction in the near future by completing its white paper and beginning human clinical trials in 2019. The epidemic is projected to claim nearly 500,000 American lives by 2027, according to a study by STAT (http://ibn.fm/QW1hH).

The ETST white paper and planned human clinical studies deal with the measure of the efficacy of combination drugs against opioid dependency. The company will investigate the synergies between mineral elements and full spectrum cannabinoid industrial hemp with the goal of developing OTC and generic drugs that treat opioid addiction.

ETST is a biotech company focused on the cannabinoid, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical markets. In addition to drug research, it also performs R&D testing for medical devices. The company holds several subsidiaries, including Earth Science Pharmaceutical, Inc.; Cannabis Therapeutics, Inc.; KannaBidioiD, Inc.; and Canna Inno Laboratories, Inc., based in Montreal, Canada.

The company’s proposed OTC drug would be intended to reduce the cravings of opioid addicts. The other would be a generic designed to reduce the danger of side effects and make the first drug more effective, according to ETST. The purpose of the human trial is to develop a methodology that prevents fatal overdoses and relieves the side effects of withdrawal.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in a March 2018 revised report, estimated the ‘economic burden’ of opioid misuse at $78.5 billion annually in the U.S., including in that figure health care, addiction treatment and the involvement of the justice system. The National Institute on Drug Abuse terms it a national health crisis (http://ibn.fm/x279M).

People around the world are expected to make 726 billion transactions using digital payment technologies by 2020, according to an article published by CNBC (http://ibn.fm/RqWqP).

Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) is Enabling Business across a Wide Array of Platforms

• Retail e-commerce sales expected to reach $4.88 trillion by 2021


• Net Element enables expanding scope of face-to-face and e-commerce transactions


• Company building additional transaction capabilities through blockchain project

In a world with rapidly expanding opportunities for commerce at a truly worldwide scale, one of the greatest challenges businesses face is staying abreast of the technologies that keep people linked together across the globe. Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) is in the business of making business happen, ensuring that sales transactions can take place across a wide array of potential platforms, globally or in-person right at a merchant’s store.

Not so far from the historical era of bartering for goods and services and yet light years ahead in terms of mobility, modern businesses and consumers are increasingly accustomed to moving merchandise without a ‘show-me-the-money’ mentality. Payment cards, emailed and texted statements and short-range electronic broadcasting all serve to verify in a confident and practically instantaneous manner that a resource of funds sufficient to cover a debt exists somewhere in the world and can be made available to another specified location somewhere in the world.

Through its brands, Net Element specializes in linking consumer mobile phones, banks, unbanked online distribution outlets and offline brick-and-mortar storefronts, providing value-added services and business analytics.  The goal is to help companies assess their competition, evaluate their own productivity and get to know their clients’ preferences in the U.S. and emerging markets around the globe.

The company’s North America Transactions Solutions business segment recorded year-over-year revenue growth of 21 percent in 2017 with a history of 28 percent growth, driven mostly by its successes with its Unified Payments subsidiary (http://ibn.fm/ImbB8). Unified Payments’ Fast Pass Funding service gives eligible merchants access to revenues in as little as three hours during regular business days, improving turnaround time for transaction processing to same-day significance.

Entry into the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance has bolstered the company’s development of secure blockchain protocols to enhance its transaction solutions, including its new Netevia multi-channel payments platform that offers end-to-end processing through easy-to-use APIs. The company’s other subsidiaries — international small content mobile solution entity Digital Provider, cloud-based point-of-sale wireless tech platform Aptito, and processor agnostic e-commerce manager PayOnline — enhance its gravitas in the industry.

Independent equity research firm JGR Capital announced in April that it had launched its small cap data coverage of Net Element as a service to investors and shareholders (http://ibn.fm/KqhVh), providing additional attention to the company’s capabilities. In January, Net Element wrapped up a $7.55 million restricted common stock and warrant private placement with an institutional investor than brought in additional funding for its blockchain initiatives.

“The Company’s balance sheet is now the strongest in its history, allowing Net Element to support future growth opportunities,” Net Element CEO Oleg Firer stated in a news release.

Cumulative data from market analyst Statista projects that retail e-commerce sales worldwide will continue to grow at a marked pace, doubling revenues to $4.88 trillion by 2021. The analysis reports that online shopping is one of the most popular online activities worldwide, but the usage varies by region. In 2016, an estimated 19 percent of all retail sales in China occurred via internet, but, in Japan, the share was only 6.7 percent. Desktop PCs are still the most popular device for placing online shopping orders, but mobile devices, especially smartphones, are catching up, the report states (http://ibn.fm/qkYh8).
