Dow tanking and down we go.

[jarega85] 10/3/2016 15:17

If this falls below £4 again in the next couple of weeks there is something severely wrong and I'll be getting out! I just can't see that happening heliweli.

Looking forward to the 16th and the 250 Entry! If both of those combined are not work a minimum of 10% to take us to 440p then I'm an extremely bad investor! I'm being extremely conservative there with the 10%, as per my previous posts, I believe we should be seeing close to 500p!

[heliweli] 10/3/2016 15:05

Should be well over £4 in a couple of weeks time, if not there will be a lot of disappointed people on here including me.

[nurdin] 10/3/2016 14:59

I am glad.

PAYS potentially setting up for an AB=CD advanced pattern
There is also confluence with a 1.618 Fib extension both in the 473.00 zone.

Target round number = 475.00

Take a look here:

This share is worse than the old Duke of York.

[adnanwolf] 10/3/2016 10:28

Is that some blue? May have to go and lie down. Hope fully ECB meeting this afternoon can provide some impetus then results next week. Should hopefully get to 410-16 BEFORE results...........

What is does show is that the sector is performing very well so good for both companies - I hold a lot more PAY than SCH (different league) but good to diversify to find the next future winners in this sector

[trentendboy] 10/3/2016 10:25

Higher PE so alot of growth in the price. This issue is whether PAY can hit 30% growth figures and large dividend payment increases year on year.

They are a different size but they will catch quickly at this rate

[jarega85] 10/3/2016 10:20

Trent, if PAYS saw only a 1% increase in share price on final results day, I'd be extremely dissapointed and wouldn't be shouting about it's growth and profitably. No comparison in my eyes!

[trentendboy] 10/3/2016 09:00

I do recommend reading the SCH results out today - same sector and big jump in profits/dividend and contract wins (in the same gaming markets as PAY).

I own both but SCH is smaller but growing more quickly (and most importantly profitably).

The very agressive dividend policy reminds me of the GVC glory days.

I am thinking that there may be institutions, funds etc. selling adjusting portfolios as they do.Other institutions buying on the dips, hence the short term falls and recoveries. Of course lots of other factors come into play, market sentiment etc. doesn't seem to me a lot of reasons for them to fall.
Seems a good idea to go with the flow and buy the dips, at the moment anyway.

[vantare7] 09/3/2016 12:01

I think you are right there Ralphmalph, unless there is any news it will run along in a fairly tight range, and only on news such as results will we see a lift, and following that the 250 starts trading a bit more of a lift

[ralphmalph] 09/3/2016 11:49

my personal view is that we will drift around the 400p mark until results day with 2 things being important. 1) forecasts for current year and next year. 2) the results meeting where the investments funds will be given the nudge nudge wink, wink - things are actually going better then we are telling you, buy shedloads.

[ralphmalph] 09/3/2016 11:46

big fund firms would use thier small cap funds to buy shares if the funds that can only invest in 250 and above wanted them before their rules allowed them to buy.

Then the small cap funds would sell them to the large funds, so locking in any gains for the firm overall.

[vantare7] 09/3/2016 11:41

The 250 first trading date for PAYS is the 21st March, but as to when trackers can buy in, you would think only on the 21st, but I am unsure on that one

[investordave] 09/3/2016 11:36

Anyone would think we are an oil company the way the share price fluctuates.

[ali47fish] 09/3/2016 11:33

Can someone tell me please if trackers / managers are buying already or is it from the 23d march that they will be allowed to do so, when the company starts trading as a 250 comapany- if so then maybe the price will stabilise

[vantare7] 09/3/2016 11:23

Actually percentage wise WPG and pays when I last looked are down about the same amount

[investordave] 09/3/2016 11:21

Bbonsall - I would say that the fall in the share price has a lot to do with MMs trying to make the shares as cheap as possible for the tracker funds. Let's face it the MMs don't give a toss about the average PI.

[vantare7] 09/3/2016 11:11

Seems to be a continuation of yesterday, when I last looked WPG was not down as much as PAYS,but it must be MM activity keeping it down, I have bought more over last 2 days was expecting a little bit of a rise on the SP

[bbonsall] 09/3/2016 11:04

I thought admission to the FTSE 250 is supposed to be positive for the share price Funds able to buy in etc. This share price does nothing but go down, contrary to the theory.
Surely, there can't be share price manipulation going on to allow funds to get in on the cheap.

[jarega85] 09/3/2016 07:21

Great interview and great responses in my opinion! Really shows he knows his stuff and Paysafe know their market and where they are heading.

Q&A: Paysafe Group's Simon Chandramani

Essential Retail catches up with Simon Chandramani, head of sales payment processing at Paysafe Group, ahead of RBTE to find out about the latest developments in the payment technology space.

Essential Retail (ER): What key trends can we expect to see in terms of how consumers pay for goods, over the next 12 months?

Simon Chandramani (SC): eCommerce is the fastest growing retail market in Europe and we’re seeing a lot of disruption and innovation in this space as the landscape evolves. One particularly noteworthy trend is the continued attractiveness of alternative payment methods like prepaid. Paysafe has a comprehensive portfolio of payment services and this includes offerings like Paysafecard, which provides prepaid vouchers that enable consumers to pay online quickly, easily and safely. It has a worldwide reach underpinned by a distribution network including retailers, petrol stations, post offices, kiosks and convenience stores that surpassed 500,000 in 2015. Paysafecard expanded into new markets such as New Zealand, Kuwait and Saudia Arabia last year. There are a lot of alternative payment options opening up for consumers in the year ahead.

In terms of innovation, mobile payments, mobile wallets, NFC, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Android Pay are changing the way people shop online and it is forming new consumer habits. Mobile proximity payments are still in the early stages of development in the UK, but with the high penetration of mobile devices, consumers are quickly embracing mobile payments. Another significant movement is the growing popularity of contactless payments. According to UK Cards Association, the UK hit a record £1 billion in contactless spending in a single month for the first time last November so we should see continued growth in this area over the next 12 months.

ER: How does the UK compare to other nations when it comes to the use of mobile payments? Where have mobile payments had most impact?

SC: The UK is in an enviable position. According to Verdict, online payments (which include both PC and mobile-based commerce) accounted for approximately $177 billion in the UK in 2014. When compared to other Western European countries, the UK is by far the largest online commerce market and is expected to continue to lead the way over the next few years.

In terms of mobile payments, the immediate opportunity in the UK is sizable, with 13.5% (or 8.7 million) smartphone owners ready to adopt any form of mobile proximity payment as soon as it is available. These consumers are considered early adopters as they demonstrate behaviours that reflect an existing familiarity with mobile banking, mobile wallets, contactless technology, and certain types of mobile activity linked to POS transactions, such as the use of loyalty/rewards/voucher applications on a mobile device while in a shop. Given that they are the early adopters, the remaining market to follow offers a massive opportunity. The future is very impressive.

The split between mobile and eCommerce in the UK highlights that eCommerce remains the most popular means by which consumers transact online. The UK’s mobile commerce market accounted for 24.5% of all online consumer sales in 2014. As I’ve already stated, mobile payments have a high potential in the UK, however ApplePay and NFC haven’t got traction yet and the reality is that a plastic contactless card is faster and more robust. Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Android Pay and others will need to offer consumers more than a like-for-like experience – they need a value add.

Meanwhile, mobile payments will continue to evolve and in 2016 we will likely see mobile payments enabled through smart wear such as smart watches and jewellery. The more convenient and almost invisible the payment experience, the stronger the value add.

ER: What would be your advice to retailers considering which payment technology they should invest in for 2015-16?

SC: Both brick and mortar and online retail are impacted by the evolving payments landscape but I would recommend they start with payment technology that prioritises security and fraud control features. It is a much better idea to protect your business and customer trust than to ignore it; after all, fraud losses on UK issued cards totalled £479 million in 2014, a 6% increase from 2013 according to Financial Fraud Action UK. Having a secure payment solution that is PCI compliant will help reassure consumers and protect merchants. I would also look for payment technology that meets the needs of the majority of consumers.

Credit and Debit cards are still the most popular payment methods, so retailers should look to have payment technology that allows for payment by card as well as alternative payment methods such as digital wallets and mobile. Retailers should also make sure this is scalable to meet the growth needs of the alternative payments market and allows for multiple currencies to be processed.

Lastly, for online retailers, having a payment processor that can fully support their technological needs is important. As a principal member of MasterCard Europe and Visa Europe, Paysafe is an acquirer as well as a payment processor which means that we provide a one-stop-shop for merchants and a more efficient and cost-effective service.

ER: What does the future hold for the traditional card schemes – Visa and MasterCard, etc – with the emergence of new ways to pay?

SC: The UK payments market is still dominated by traditional card schemes and will continue to do so this year. However in global transaction banking payments, every bank is looking at the cost of maintaining so many legacy systems. These systems have a lifecycle and, depending on upon the costs of upkeep and improvements, the banks will start to look at how to replace structures that are unfit from a capability, scalability and time to market standpoint. Faced with competition from domestic schemes and Swift, Visa, MasterCard and American Express – all of which have faster payments, high value gross, low value bulk – the banks’ drive to simplify is enormous and we should see new players in this field gain traction.

ER: Which retailers stand out for their innovative payment options?

SC: Big data has huge potential in retail. Knowing your customers’ preferences through ‘opt-in’ and engaging services that add tangible value and being able to customise the retail experience through payments technology – such as mobile apps – has already proven a success for retailers such as Starbucks (where mobile payments account for 21% of transactions).

ER: What can we expect to see from Paysafe over the next 12 months? What are your key focus areas?

SC: The payments industry is rapidly evolving. Amid the many changes in how we can send and receive money, we are focused on consolidating our position as a leader and innovator in the payments space. We’re addressing that in a number of ways. In product development, for example, we’re making sure our products and services are optimised for mobile and making it easier for our merchants to access all of the payment services we offer. Sales channel development is pretty key too – moving into new industry verticals and markets that provide a good fit for our growing business. Areas within this that are interesting include remittances, acquiring, e-invoicing and of course e-payments.
