Septimus - I have done as you ask, for as you suggest as it may give us some idea of where interest is coming from.

Mazarin, any chance of inserting a flag counter at the foot of the header (to hopefully give some measure of overseas interest in ECK, especially US)?

The following website provides a copy and paste link with can be inserted directly:

What would help ECK (both here and the US) is new primary legislation mandating companies to use some form of third party/independent security interface.

These latest US contracts confirm future opportunities will likely continue for more of what ECK has to offer and hopefully may even attract some positive press comment this weekend in their wake!

Eckoh has won two US contracts, worth collectively around $7m spread across three years, while also extending its US distributor agreement with telecoms group West Corp.
One of the new contracts, the second major deal won via the reseller agreement with West this year, will see Eckoh provide secure payment services to a global insurance company in the Fortune 500, valued at a minimum of $2m evenly across three years.

The client will employ AIM-listed Eckoh's patented CallGuard tokenisation solution, which eliminates sensitive credit card data from the contact centre environment, across 5,000 US-based contact centre agents employed by the corporation.

Expected to generate at least $1m a year and possibly double that, the second contract was won directly by Eckoh and will see it provide a variety of contact centre infrastructure support services to a major US telecommunications company, beginning in July.

Eckoh has also updated its channel distributor arrangement with West Corporation, removing West's exclusivity arrangement in order to extend its presence and partnerships in the US midmarket arena.

Chief executive Nik Philpot said the two major contracts, particularly the second, illustrated the progress being made in the US thanks to the PSS acquisition.

"We are now trading as a unified entity in the US, which is comprised of the business lines Secure Payments and Customer Contact Solutions mirroring that in the UK, and it is satisfying to see such substantial deals being won from both sides of the operation."

He added: "The integration of PSS is nearing completion and these sizeable contracts demonstrate that the business rationale for being part of Eckoh is yielding returns at every level. We expect the substantial progress and growth achieved by the Group since the acquisition to continue throughout the remainder of the current financial year and beyond."

Broker Berenberg said while the first deal will not materially change the outlook for the group, management indications that the pipeline that West has helped generate is still "significant" would suggest "further contract wins could be on the horizon".

SQ - dump the sh1te. You'll feel so much better

[mfhmfh] 02/6/2016 08:11

2 positive RNSs. Onwards and upwards

[broadwood] 02/6/2016 08:08

Good news on two fronts today.

We are delighted to have updated our contract with West, which underlines the progress we have made successfully working together in the first two years of our partnership, building a very significant pipeline in the US market. This success is perfectly illustrated by a new and sizeable contract that we have also announced today, where we will be deploying from our Haloh product suite our tokenisation secure payments solution, which is an extremely compelling solution for large organisations with complex IT environments

As far as my portfolio is concerned, ECK are like a rock in a sea of sh1te.

[septimus quaid] 12/5/2016 16:02

The shareprice is well ahead of earnings.

They really need to be getting some big news stories out into the public domain.

Video interview with Nik Philpot



Nik Philpot, chief executive of Eckoh PLC (LON:ECK), says the secure payment systems supplier has an excellent pipeline of deals in the US.

Philpot describes the market there as at an earlier stage where there’s very little competition. “The US generally is playing catch up with Europe in terms of credit card security, but they are catching up and are looking to make big strides over the next couple of years, and we hope to take a very big slice of that market.”

The pipeline at home is described as “great,” with leads from the rest of the world being fulfilled from the UK.

[mfhmfh] 05/5/2016 10:14

solid update. looking to grow organically and through acquisitions. Looks like US contracts will really bring the money in but UK market growing as well. Looking forward to 14th June. IMHO.

[septimus quaid] 05/5/2016 08:57

Video interview with Nik Philpot



Nik Philpot, chief executive of secure payment systems supplier Eckoh plc (LON:ECK), says the firm’s latest contract win is the largest it has signed directly so far in the US, and hails it as an “important deal”.
He speaks to Proactive after the firm won a five-year deal with “extremely large” US paediatric clinical care provider Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA).
Eckoh will supply CHOA with a version of its CallGuard product which uses its recently UK-patented tokenisation technology, which was launched in May last year, and Philpot says the firm expects to “grow aggressively” in the next few years.

[jakleeds] 31/3/2016 09:17

😃 yes DPP is going well too.

[hybrasil] 31/3/2016 09:11

And you like dpp. You keep good company

[jakleeds] 31/3/2016 09:01

Glad I added here yesterday. But still a lot further to go I reckon with results not far away. Chart looks better and better, price has fallen too far from its high IMO.

[mfhmfh] 31/3/2016 07:37

another contract win with confidence from CEO of further interest in our products

[scargs] 25/3/2016 08:35

My advice would be NOT to trim your holding in Eckoh. This is a super company which is continually growing by picking up new contracts and extending existing contracts.

Eckoh operates in a very special payment security area and it is just scratching the surface in the USA. It also has excellent management.

Hold tight.

[sohelk] 24/3/2016 23:49

Based on the new contracts the shares deserve a price north of 50p.But with the EU referendum looming and the entire market now holding its breath (seeing as Bo-Jo's added his bit in), does anyone think it would be prudent to trim holdings till Brexit's been declined?Just wondering..
