About Net1 (www.net1.com)
Net1 provides its universal electronic payment system, or UEPS, as an
alternative payment system for the unbanked and under-banked populations of
developing economies. The Company believes that it is the first company
worldwide to implement a system that can enable the estimated four billion
people who generally have limited or no access to a bank account to enter
affordably into electronic transactions with each other, government agencies,
employers, merchants and other financial service providers using UEPS. The
system uses smart cards that operate in real-time but offline, unlike
traditional payment systems offered by major banking institutions that require
immediate access through a communications network to a centralized computer.
This offline capability means that users of the Net1 system can enter into
transactions at any time with other card holders in even the most remote areas
so long as a portable offline smart card reader is available. In addition to
payments and purchases, UEPS can be used for banking, health care management,
international money transfers, voting and identification.
The Company also focuses on the development and provision of secure transaction
technology, solutions and services. The Company`s core competencies around
secure online transaction processing, cryptography and integrated circuit card
(chip/smart card) technologies are principally applied to electronic commerce
transactions in the telecommunications, banking, retail, petroleum and utilities
market sectors. Additionally, through BGS Smartcard Systems AG, a majority-owned
subsidiary based in Austria, the Company develops, implements and integrates
smart card-based offline and online financial transaction systems in cooperation
with banks, enterprises and government authorities, primarily in Russia and the
Commonwealth of Independent States.
Net1 has a primary listing on the Nasdaq and a secondary listing on the JSE
Limited.
