The iWallets Effects on Small Business and What
It Means to You
2
  • Its not a surprise that electronic wallets are
    starting to take a serious percentage of payment
    processing in the modern world. Wallets, like the
    iWallet, are becoming a common form of payment
    for customers everywhere, but what about the
    forgotten part of those ACH transactions? The
    customers are buying from someone, arent they?
    This brings us to the other end of many of those
    payments the small business.
  • With a growing interest in mobile payments and
    mobile payment processing, small businesses are
    starting to realize that they too can take
    advantage of this new form of payment method to
    enhance their businesses and increase their
    income. But, does it benefit small business and
    what does a small business need to do to take
    advantage of mobile payment processors like the
    iWallet?

3
  • Although big business can take advantage of the
    iWallet, just as anyone else can, iWallet
    strongly encourages small business to take
    advantage of their payment platform. Why would
    iWallet care about small business? After all, big
    entities like Visa and MasterCard dont offer
    incentives to small businesses, nor do most
    banks. The reason why iWallet is going after this
    part of the market is to take advantage of an
    expanding part of business that is sometimes
    ignored by the giants. This new approach could
    actually spur a new movement in small business to
    support e-wallets. 
  • So, why would a small business get this as a
    payment option and what is iWallet, anyway? Its
    a mobile payment processing application that
    allows you to pay for everything through your
    phone. The e-wallet is getting popular among the
    youngest generations, first. The truth is that
    many businesses want that eighteen to thirty-five
    year old demographic to come through their doors.
    Small businesses run things like record shops,
    comic book stores, cafes, and restaurants. Its
    businesses like these that attract the largest
    number of people from that demographic and its
    crucial for them to survive with this part of the
    population.

  • Not only that, but even a lot of sole
    proprietorships focus on this same, important
    group. There are people at sci-fi/fantasy
    conventions who sell art, swords, and various
    other personal creations to make a living. This
    is also true of farmers markets who sell food
    and crafts.
  • Both forms of small business badly need to be
    able to supply a person with the method of
    payment they want. In todays business world with
    cellphones and smartphones now ubiquitous, it was
    inevitable that a new form of mobile payment
    would come about and that people would take
    advantage of that new mobile app the moment that
    it came out. As a result, everything from locally
    owned pizza places to the person selling sweaters
    at a farmers market are wisely adapting to the
    use of mobile payment processing. Its primarily
    the younger generations that are adapting to this
    new technology and there are more getting their
    first cellphone everyday. Theyre written more
    than one iWallet review, and the reviews are
    good.

5
  • The other reason for small businesses to adapt to
    this new market has been the lack of fees
    involved with the iWallet. Everyones familiar
    with fees. Whether a customer or a business,
    trying to get off the ground, youve been charged
    a fee more than a few times. The truth of the
    matter is that fees dont just get annoying, they
    can also get expensive, especially for small
    businesses. Credit cards and debit services
    charge a fee for the use of their payment method.
    For credit cards, especially, those fees can be
    pretty high, and the lower the transaction, the
    higher the fee. Many businesses have even taken
    placing a surcharge on the use of debit as a way
    of trying to make up for the heavy fees that they
    pay.

6
  • What does this mean for small business? It goes
    back to an old saying, not used as often today as
    it was forty years ago, but it is something along
    the lines of nickel-and-diming someone. The
    etymology of this saying is from 1964 and refers
    to small amounts of money. To nickel-and-dime
    someone to death means that youre going to
    bankrupt them with lots of little charges. The
    saying, when it comes to small business, is just
    as relevant now as it was then. Small businesses
    can have small margins of profit and a lot of
    expenses. When paying your staff becomes an
    issue, every cent counts.

7
  • The solution to small businesses being
    nickel-and-dimed to death is to eliminate many of
    those fees that are attached to daily
    transactions. In North America, small business
    does have the advantage of low tax rates, but
    when a percentage of all your daily transactions
    are effectively being taxed by credit card and
    debit companies, businesses can seize to exist in
    a relatively short period of time. The people
    behind iWallet know how difficult it can be to
    keep your head above water, and so they decided
    to eliminate those fees, allowing you to keep
    your money and increase your profit margin.
    iWallet allows a business to be transaction free
    up to a maximum of thirty million dollars per
    year.

8
  • As times continue on and more transaction
    companies grow to realize that gouging their
    customers isnt the best way of doing business,
    we might see a change in the amount and number of
    fees charged. For now, its companies like the
    iWallet that are setting the tone for the future
    of ACH transactions. (For those of you who dont
    know, ACH stands for Automated Clearing House.)
    The fascinating thing about the iWallet is that
    it doesnt function like most other apps and
    methods of payment do. Everyone knows how
    traditional ways of paying function today. If
    youre paying by debit or credit, youre either
    tapping your card or inserting your card into a
    machine. These methods are the norm and
    essentially involve a scanner reading a microchip
    on your card. The information stored on the chip
    and at your bank must match the pin number that
    you provide.

9
  • There are also apps now that will access data
    directly from your bank account, although these
    are mostly available in Europe right now. There
    is also, of course, the old cash and cheque
    method of payment, but theyre rapidly
    disappearing from common usage. 
  • What differentiates the iWallet from other forms
    of payment is that it uses QR based processing.
    If you dont know what QR means, dont worry,
    most people dont either! QR codes refer to Quick
    Response codes. These are those strange
    square-shaped little boxes you see everywhere
    that people scan with their phones. Usually, they
    are there to help you identify certain items or
    specials available in a store.

10
  • The origin of this code was actually Japan and
    was used then in automobile factories! The great
    thing about QR codes is that it can store just
    over seven thousand characters in that little
    square of information, contrary to a bar code,
    which is really just a series of about twenty
    digits. Its this extraordinary little way of
    storing a large amount of information in these
    codes that makes the whole thing work. The way
    that the iWallet works for you is, where it is
    accepted, instead of swiping a card, you scan a
    QR code. The app does the rest, allowing you a
    quick confirmation of your purchase.

11
  • As you can see, this new form of payment is
    completely different from the traditional form of
    payments, like credits and debit cards. The
    traditional payment processing giants are also
    very arms-length entities. In other words,
    theyre glad youve signed on and that theyre
    getting your money, but other than that, the big
    processing entities do very little more to keep
    your business because they dont believe you have
    a choice. iWallet has taken a different approach
    to small business and have taken steps to show
    you that they do value you as a customer, and
    dont think of you as just a number on a billing
    statement. One such iWallet promo is that of
    their initiative to advertise new members of
    their payment system on Facebook and Instagram.
    This new form of free promotion is to acknowledge
    that everyone is in this together.

12
  • More than just neat technology or a new
    generation of consumers coming into the market,
    the iWallet is becoming a major new contender on
    the payment processing field because of one major
    advantage convenience. If one thing that has
    become true today, its that people want to pay
    for something as quickly as possible and go.
    Having a simple, one-click payment processing
    app, like the iWallet app, is whats making it an
    attractive alternative to other payment options
    in that it literally only takes seconds to do. 
  • The other thing thats making this technology
    attractive is its mobility. If you have your
    phone with you, and everyone does now, then you
    can pay. You no longer need an actual wallet when
    your e-wallet is available all the time. These
    convenient features are what is growing interest
    in this form of payment method and that means
    that its in small business interests to adapt
    it, giving its increasing popularity.

13
  • In the end, when youre in small business, you
    know that you need every advantage you can get.
    When a major payment processor, like iWallet, can
    offer you a method of payment, without a
    processing fee, its certainly worth your time to
    look into and seriously consider it. After all,
    with free promotion and no fees for your first
    ten million dollars a year, saying no seems
    almost like looking a gift horse in the mouth,
    doesnt it?
