Because you matter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPearce explains that the key focus to bring about a future-ready society boils down to trust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHowever, in order to gain this trust,\u201d Pearce explains, \u201cAltron FinTech has made it clear that its goal is to ensure customers everywhere, no matter the size of the businesses, are included. In a word, we want our customers to know that it\u2019s because \u2018you\u2019<\/em> matter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nWithout serving these communities, as Pearce says, a future-ready South Africa with a business continuity in mind, operating in a secure and safe environment, cannot be possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Including the underserved communities across the country is the goal upon which Pearce and his team at Altron FinTech have invested their time and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy introducing our philosophy of \u2018because you matter\u2019, it becomes easier to introduce innovative products and tools that will inevitably transform the lives of so many who need it.\u201d Pearce explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understanding the nature of the underserved communities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\u201cWe understand that in order to help include underserved communities within the South African market, there needs to be safe and seamless solutions that not only promise interoperability, but show it in a real-time operation,\u201d Pearce says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transaction switching, for example, is a solution that connects platforms such as POS machines with the country\u2019s central payment system, cards and banks, and allows for instant authentication and authorisation of transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Pearce, these seamless, reliable, secure, safe and real-time solutions are what the underserved communities value most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBusiness owners and their customers want to be sure that their money is being transacted safely and securely.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“With robust, secure tools and products available, including the debit order system, DebiCheck, business owners can now not only feel safe, but explore the possibility of having a scalable business model that is future-ready,\u201d Pearce adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What the underserved business community can expect<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\u201cTo unlock the door to financial inclusion, we know it\u2019s important to offer businesses and the customers who frequent such businesses the benefit of affordable credit and affordable banking services,\u201d Pearce explains, emphasising that, \u201cin order to provide a fully digital payment space, we need to provide access to the digitised economy for everyone, no matter their socio-economic status.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Altron FinTech\u2019s sales team is leading the way by offering packages to small, medium and larger businesses throughout communities that have been neglected or excluded from the formal economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re not here just to make transactions simple, which we offer and are highly beneficial, but we\u2019re here to help inspire business owners and the community at large to grow within a new, included<\/em> economy, which I believe will transform a once forgotten community into a thriving, safe and scalable society,\u201d Pearce says.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow the underserved communities can enjoy the benefits of \u2018inclusion\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nBy providing simple, safe and reliable solutions, underserved communities can begin to participate in the country\u2019s economy, in a meaningful way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Altron FinTech offers a range of products, services and packages to help empower business owners to operate within their payment infrastructure in a simplified way, through digital payments and tokens as well as transaction processing in real-time, safely and securely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Pearce explains, these solutions are key to help businesses become scalable and reach their potential through Altron FinTech\u2019s unique and innovative approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo grow, we offer our customers a way to optimise their business needs by being \u2018always-on\u2019 and compliant. It is through these measures that businesses can hope to transform their businesses, becoming future-ready and securing business continuity,\u201d Pearce says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reasoning behind such products and solutions, according to Pearce, is the idea that businesses operating in underserved communities can only truly become included if they partner with an invested, interested party who is ready to help them grow and expand, together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trusting in the future<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\u201cFeedback from customers within these areas has given me the hope and the confidence I need to continue doing what I\u2019m doing,\u201d Pearce says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pearce says he\u2019s confident that the underserved communities within South Africa will soon transform into a fully digital and inclusive society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith these solutions, we can expect to see a digital society emerging very soon through our seamless transaction solutions and our ongoing support and innovation.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In conclusion, Pearce adds, \u201cOur future-ready payment solutions are here and ready to propel the underserved communities to a new and exciting era of financial inclusion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
