CORPORATE PROFILE
First Ecom.com was established to provide online credit card transaction processing services for merchants outside of North America. Through its arrangement to utilize First Data Corp.`s international gateway (processed 5 billion transactions in 1997), the company can approve merchants and process transactions. The end-to-end process takes place in a tax neutral location without the necessity for using U.S. banking institutions or U.S. based ISPs (Internet Service Providers). This new model offers significant advantages. Merchant clients need not establish U.S. operations, meet U.S. credit criteria, compliance or reporting requirements. The added capability to process transactions in multiple currencies is very attractive. First Ecom.com is partnering with prominent financial and Internet service companies to ensure early adoption of the system. With no meaningful international credit card transaction processing system for the thousands of companies desiring to participate in ecommerce, First Ecom.com appears at the ground floor of a vast, rapid growth market. Based on its early lead and unique offering, the company is positioned to take a dominant role in processing international credit card transactions.
HIGHLIGHTS
· One of the only full service providers of low-cost credit card transaction processing outside of North America.
· Unique global access to the First Data Corporation electronic "gateway" used for virtually all processing of credit data and funds verification outside the United States.
· A completely autonomous merchant approval process that removes the necessity for involvement by domestic U.S. banking institutions and streamlines the merchant approval process.
· Strategic agreements with Open Market Inc., Sun Microsystems and other leading ecommerce transaction providers to facilitate early adoption of First Ecom.com`s credit processing system.
· Transaction processing carried out in a tax neutral territory alleviating hurdles for International merchants such as reporting, foreign incorporation, compliance, and/or taxation.
· Positioned for processing online credit transactions in multiple currencies using real-time conversion mechanisms.
· No meaningful competition outside of North America.
· Market development lead of approximately one year over any participant entering the international credit transaction sector.
· Significant pent-up demand for services as a result of the lack of infrastructure for ecommerce outside of North America.
· International management team with senior level development experience in international Internet infrastructure, ecommerce, credit processing and electronic bill payment and presentment.
· The potential to become the dominant online credit card transaction processor in areas targeted for development.
ECOMMERCE
The growth of ecommerce echoes that of the Internet. Many of the major new product offerings have been a direct result of the trend toward ecommerce. According to a leading industry resource, online sales reached $9 billion in 1998, tripling sales of the previ- ous year. A recent study projects online sales to reach $108 billion by 2003, a year in which 40 million households are expected to be online. That figure does not reflect the enormous potential for online bill presentment and payment expected to reach over $4 billion by the year 2001.
The mechanisms required to move cash and credit are the foundation for all ecommerce. And while the support mechanisms for online credit processing have developed quickly in North America, markets outside the continent are still formative. This is true for most of Asia, Europe, and many regions where the Internet is only now showing signs of widespread acceptance. International banks and financial institutions are not capable of handling or do not have systems in place to handle online credit processing. This general lack of global infrastructure is severely limiting for merchants operating outside of North America. At present, they must establish U.S. operations, process transactions through an American ISP, meet U.S. credit reporting and compliance requirements, and subject themselves to U.S. corporate taxation in order to carry out ecommerce. Most merchants have shied away from ecommerce application for these reasons. As a result, there is a considerable pent-up demand for a solution to international online credit processing.
A NEW MODEL
First Ecom.com has developed a low-cost credit processing system accessible to nearly all international merchants. Through an arrangement with a leading bank outside of the U.S., and proprietary processing systems, the company can approve merchants and carry out credit card transactions directly. The bank supporting the system is one of very few utilizing First Data Corporation`s "Gateway" for credit card data outside North America. First Data is the processor of 60% of all credit card transactions nationally and nearly all ecommerce transactions worldwide. Under this arrangement, transactions are processed outside the U.S. in a tax neutral jurisdiction. Merchant clients no longer need to use a U.S. based ISP, establish relations with U.S. banks, or subject themselves to U.S. compliance or taxation. As envisioned, First Ecom.com will also have the ability to process multi-currency transactions. First Ecom.com offers autonomous, end-to-end credit card processing for transactions outside North America.
OUTLOOK
The company is in an enviable position in the ecommerce marketplace. With no meaningful competition in processing transactions outside of North America, First Ecom.com has the opportunity to quickly entrench its services as the pathway for companies carrying out ecommerce internationally. The company has targeted regions where the development of the Internet has lagged behind and are now expanding rapidly. Some, such as Asia, are expected to double in usage within a year. The demand for this credit processing ser- vice is overwhelming. This, combined with the added benefits of efficiently carrying out approvals and low-cost transactions make the prospects for the company very strong.
First Ecom.com has joined forces with the leading proponents of ecommerce including, U.S. Web, Open Market Inc., Sun Microsystems, Asia Internet Limited, Financial Institution partners and others to ensure the delivery of its new system. Logically, these strategic partners should become a major source of referrals, since they stand to profit from each transaction. The international management team is familiar with Internet infrastructure and has the proven ability to build companies to a market leading position. Like other companies opening new applications for the Internet, First Ecom.com is in a position to act quickly and earn a dominant position. Even moderate success in the front running role for international credit card processing could result in exponential growth and outstanding potential value.
