Does not take much volume to really get this shifting.

I can see corporate action here soon - all depends on our Camden friend.

[gswredland] 11/1/2018 08:58

Looking good!

Finally moving north

Nice early £30,000 buy at 304p to get things going.

Potential here for application of Blockchain tech ?

[jarega85] 05/1/2018 15:59

All good Lomax, all good.

Hi Jarega,I did say it was a personal opinion, and I didn't say not to invest. Good luck with your investment, it would be going some though (think NPT), for it to be as much of an orchestrated rollercoaster ride as PAYS!

[jarega85] 05/1/2018 15:34

Hey Lomax.That's a personal opinion and is dependant on everyones risk appetite.I was heavily overweight with PAYS as many over there were but PAYS had it's own risks which we each calculated and accepted and paid off.SafeCharge is another similar cash machine which generates from the gaming sector whilst trying to diversify with the added bonuses of a great divi and a cash pile. Although Teddy holds a significant proportion, brings different risk but I'm comfortable with them. The positives outweigh the risks here in my view and I feel more comfortable here than PAYS given the wild ride we had there.All on board!

[lomax99] 05/1/2018 15:19

Not a stock I would personally choose to go too overweight on, given T Sagi's significant stake.

[jarega85] 05/1/2018 14:43

My PAYS cash has come here, looking forward to next update

[trentendboy] 05/1/2018 11:45

I think it is picking up a load of the PAYS money that got paid into accounts yesterday.

It is the only really good processing play left with access to the online gaming sector.

They seem to be making a good fist of it and following PAYS by using high margin gaming profits to grab more "less risky but lower margin" legal stuff.

Worked a treat for PAYS.

Some solid buying today......

[rivaldo] 05/1/2018 10:06

Good to see 300p up again. Here's more on that initiation of coverage by Bryan Garnier:



"SafeCharge: Bryan Garnier introduces to 'buy'

Bryan Garnier initiates the coverage of SafeCharge, an English software company that evolves in the field of payments, with a 'buy' recommendation and an intrinsic value ('fair value') of 354 pence, which implies a potential upside of 20% .

'We are playing out the end of the transition period (redesign of the client portfolio) and the beginning of an expansion phase (non-gambling diversification, search for acquisitions)', explains the financial intermediary.

The broker believes that with less risky traders, a change in size and more liquidity, the value will return to the radar of more investors. He sees SafeCharge as a budding 'Wirecard'. "

[trentendboy] 03/1/2018 13:05

Good news and sensible comments at least - they are following the path beaten by PAYS who did very well in the end - taken private this week.

Still heavily invested here and 354 seems reasonable target

[gswredland] 03/1/2018 12:05

Thanks Rivaldo

[rivaldo] 03/1/2018 10:56

Excellent news - initiation of coverage today with a Buy and a 354p target. And it sounds like acquisitions are on the cards at last.....

Bryan Garnier are "a leading European independent investment bank focused on growth sectors":

"SafeCharge Looks Like a 'Fledgling Wirecard': Bryan Garnier

0843 GMT - SafeCharge's expansion beyond its previous customer base of gambling companies should see the payment-services company attract more investor interest, according to Bryan Garnier. The investment bank said SafeCharge is beginning a phase of expansion and diversification, which is likely to include European acquisitions. This potential expansion leaves it looking like a "fledgling" peer to German payment and financial services company Wirecard, added Bryan Garnier, which initiates coverage of the stock with a buy rating and fair value estimate of 354 pence."

New article in the Telegraph about WeChat coming to the UK via SCH:



Extracts:

"Chinese mobile payment offering WeChat is coming to a place near you as visitors are now able to open digital wallets in Britain"

"And starting last month Chinese visitors have been able to buy goods with the mobile payment platform WeChat Pay.

Camden Market is a sharp contrast to luxury shopping hot spots such as Bicester Village and Oxford Street, where Chinese tourists spend millions of pounds each year. It may not seem to be the obvious choice for the launch in Britain of WeChat’s hugely popular digital wallet, which accounts for 40 per cent of the Chinese mobile payment market.

However, the number of Chinese visitors to Camden is climbing, 10 per cent of its visitors being Chinese in March, double what it was six months earlier.

“In terms of demographics, the number of Chinese tourists in Camden is certainly growing, and in terms of a brand, Camden was an obvious choice,” said Craig Jacoby, head of retail payments at SafeCharge. “It’s iconic in London.”

During the four months from November, SafeCharge will provide more than 1,000 Camden Market vendors with a software update that enables in-store payment terminals to generate QR codes and perform WeChat Pay transactions.

Chinese tourists spent £513 million in Britain last year, the tourism authority VisitBritain says . Camden Market's management wants to better accommodate those big-spending visitors.

Mr Jacoby said WeChat Pay will soon be available at other shopping locations in London, and the service is also launching at six large retailers in Paris as WeChat moves forward with its international expansion."

"David Avgi , the chief executive of SafeCharge, said that in general there is great motivation to accommodate Chinese consumers in Europe, where half the luxury purchases are made by Asian tourists.

It a matter of time before the mobile payment systems that are ubiquitous in China catch on in the West, he said.WeChat has worked with SafeCharge, the British payment technology company, to make WeChat Pay available at point-of sale locations in Britain for the first time."

Cheers Jarega85, good news - a tie-up with the giant that is Salesforce should bring in good new business.

Here's a link to the press release:

Looks like further steps to diversify and another gate to Tier 1 customers. Simple and easy implementation is what I'm taking from it.Great to see that we're taking steps forward and not just sitting on our pile of cash. Although acquisition news would be good!

Good question. If lads use SCH and switch it will affect revenues I guess

[nod] 08/12/2017 20:34

Trent, how would a GVC takeover of LCL affect SCH?If/when LCL migrate to GVC software will this impact SCH?

[trentendboy] 30/11/2017 10:54

The yield is still attractive at the current price and likely to rise.

It is tempting to buy more not least because of the muted response so far to the recent RNS
