- Geographic expansion and diverse product offering continues to drive transaction rates and revenue growth
17 November 2015: SmartTrans Holdings Limited (ASX: SMA) (SmartTrans or Company) is pleased to announce that the Company has recently achieved the significant milestone of passing 6 million customers transacting via its SmartPay platform in China with the Company processing 1.2 million payments in October. Pleasingly, more than 40% of customers billed in October were subscription-‐based customers who pay a monthly fee for content and typically continue to generate future monthly revenue for the company.
Growth in revenue and customer numbers was achieved for the sixteenth consecutive month which the Company attributes to the diverse range of Apps and content now readily available to consumers across an increasing number of provinces in China via SmartPay.
The number of customers is up from the 4 million customers who had transacted through SmartPay by the beginning of August of this year illustrating the attractiveness of SmartTrans’ platform for both content providers and consumers in China.
Importantly, the size of the customer base is becoming increasingly appealing to both foreign and domestic companies wishing to transact in China through SmartPay. SmartTrans is experiencing growing levels of inquiry from content partners.
SmartTrans Managing Director, Bryan Carr said: “This is yet another significant milestone for SmartTrans. We are continuing to witness pleasing growth in the customer database which is driving our revenue streams and broadening the appeal of the SmartPay offering.
“More critically, this ongoing growth in our customer base will certainly serve to broaden and diversify our revenue streams, while also making SmartPay an even more attractive turnkey solution for any third party wishing to promote and sell to a large and increasing audience of consumers.”
Mr Carr added that SmartTrans is continuing to assess ways in which it may monetise the Data Analytics gathered from SmartPay, potentially another source of revenue. “We continue to gather analytical data from SmartPay on consumer spending habits and trends that is sought by marketers, advertisers and consumer goods and services companies.
“This proprietary data is a potential source of significant unlocked revenue for SmartTrans. We look forward to updating shareholders on new third party arrangements, as well as additional operational and financial achievements.”
