SecureGlobalPay recently announced a partnership with NetCents to offer our customers an exclusive opportunity to obtain a Cryptocurrency Merchant gateway.

The SaaS Payment Gateway API
The SaaS Payment Gateway API provided by our new partnership can be used by any financial institution, processor, FX platforms, and Payment Gateway to use the rails (technology for those that don’t have a CTO to give you the industry terms) to build their own cost effective cryptocurrency solution.
The SaaS platform is built on elastic computing that can scale both vertically and horizontally. This allows the infrastructure to adapt based on the number of transactions going through the system at any given moment.
What does this all mean?
This allows the API to handle more transactions per second than current blockchain technology allows for with the system deploying nodes as transaction volume increases based on our predefined set of thresholds. Currently, the infrastructure is based in North America with plans to scale and deploy more nodes in Europe and Asia. This will give us worldwide distribution, redundancy, and unmatched performance.
With nodes around the world, it will be easier to direct and distribute traffic to the closest node, increasing processing volume capabilities while reducing the overall load on our infrastructure and the time it takes to process a transaction. This benefits our merchants by providing increased processing speed and decreased transaction times.
This unique gateway solution gives the ability for anyone to become involved in cryptocurrency payments – from merchants to users to traditional payments companies to financial institutions. It bridges the gap with existing and legacy platforms, increasing the integration and adoption of cryptocurrency as an everyday method of transacting.
From financial institutions to processors to ISO’s – even WeChat and AliPay, all of these companies run on some sort of rails like SEPA or ACH, the underlying technologies that power traditional payments and connects everything.
This is replacing outdated and legacy technology. This is the future!
