New Media Insight Group Offers Merchants Lowest Transaction Fees Available with CloudPay Solution
PHOENIX, April 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- New Media Insight Group, Inc. ("New Media" or "the Company") (OTCBB: NMED), a leader in mobile payments, announced today that its smart-phone based payment solution "CloudPay" provides retailers with the lowest transaction fees available in the United States.
In late March, Walmart Stores sued Visa Inc. for $5 billion in damages after accusing the credit and debit card provider of charging an excessive percentage of interchange fees per transaction. This is in the wake of a December 2013 suit, during which a Brooklyn, NY federal judge approved a $5.7 billion class action settlement between Visa and MasterCard that ended years of litigation between the two providers and U.S. merchants over the same excessive interchange fees. This class action suit was originally filed in 2005.
"U.S. merchants, both large and small, operate at the will of major credit and debit card providers and are subjected to excessively high interchange or 'swipe' fees," stated Michael Palethorpe, CEO of New Media. "These fees usually fall between 1.5 and 3% of the value of the purchase. Our innovative mobile payment solution, CloudPay, charges retailers a flat 0.5% per transaction, the lowest fee structure available in the U.S."
"CloudPay operates through a free mobile-to-mobile application, and can save retailers up to 80% on their annual transaction fees. Our mCard solution CloudPay is at the forefront of the mobile payment industry, and I am confident it will be a growth driver for our Company as retailers continue to lobby for more cost-effective transaction options," concluded Mr. Palethorpe.
