Hello Traders and Followers!
There’s no lying in this business when someone says that there’s somewhat of a large interest in any particular stock.
The volume activity speaks for itself.
And it looks as if LAHO has caught the attention of the OTC community and could be ready to make its next jump!
LAHO (Lans Holding, Inc.)
LAHO offers payment processing solutions and recently it’s been getting a lot of attention. It has to do with the company’s big acquisition of Payflex Systems - a start-up company that is focused on eCommerce workflow and intelligence software.
According to the recent release, LAHO plans to develop PayFlex System's payment platform further to develop a software-as-a-server (SaaS) payment service.
The news has provided a major boost for LAHO and is acting as a strong catalyst, in addition to its bullish technicals, and looks to take the play higher.
Here, let’s take a look at that press release that captivated the OTC audience.
LONDON, ENG / ACCESSWIRE / December 15, 2014 /
Lans Holdings, Inc. (LAHO) - (The Company) is pleased to share its outlook of the payment processing industry
The electronic payments industry is continuously growing throughout the world. With the revolution of digital currency, mobile payments, and digital wallets being recently announced, it is important that merchants (product/service sellers) are able to reach their consumers in an effective way. With this increasing electronic growth, it is important to point out that digital payment processing is reaching end consumers who are normally un-bankable and allows small businesses to sell their goods in a fast and accurate way.
For these reasons, the Company feels that it is an excellent time to enter into the digital payment space. The Company has looked at a variety of ways to tap into the market, and feels it is best to position itself to be a processor. Special logistics and gateways are needed to process crypto-currency like dogecoin and bitcoins versus more "traditional" payment methods such as credit card and debit. The digital payments are as common as cash transactions and handle payments 24X7 every day. Processors earn a lucrative processing fee for each transaction that gets routed through the processors' system. The number of transactions performed is ever increasing and so the Company can observe that there is much opportunity to grow its business along with this digital revolution. Statistic obtained from the Nilsen report show that:
- $3.663 Trillion Dollars in purchases were made using Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express cards at US merchant locations.
- There are over 312,834,623 number of internet users in North America.
- Over 875,000,000 consumers have shopped online.
- 90% of all Internet Sales are made with credit cards.
- Retail e-commerce spending totaled $231 Billion, expected increase 13% to 262 Billion.
- 1,895,834,000 credit, debit and prepaid cards are in circulation.
The Company plans to develop its payment platform to facilitate traditional credit card processing, and may look into expanding its transaction types to these others as they mature and become widely accepted.
"We are excited to be a part of this lucrative and increasingly growing industry."

MARKET OUTLOOK
Worldwide mobile payment transaction values reached $235.4 billion in 2013, a 44 percent increase from 2012 values of $163.1 billion, according to Gartner, Inc. The number of mobile payment users worldwide reached 245.2 million in 2013, up from 200.8 million in 2012.
"We expect global mobile transaction volume and value to average 35 percent annual growth between 2012 and 2017, and we are forecasting a market worth $721 billion with more than 450 million users by 2017," said Sandy Shen, research director at Gartner. "Nevertheless, we have lowered the forecast of total transaction value for the forecast period due to lower-than-expected growth in 2012, especially in North America and Africa."
Near Field Communications' (NFC's) transaction value has been reduced by more 40 percent throughout the forecast period due to disappointing adoption of NFC technology in all markets in 2012 and the fact that some high-profile services, such as Google Wallet and Isis, are struggling to gain traction. Gartner forecasts that NFC will account for only about 2 percent of total transaction value in 2013 and 5 percent of the total transaction value in 2017, although growth is expected to increase somewhat from 2016 when the penetration of NFC mobile phones and contactless readers increases.
Money transfers and merchandise purchases will account for about 71 percent and 21 percent of total transaction value in 2013, respectively, making them by far the largest contributors. However, worldwide, people are not purchasing as much because the buying experience on mobile devices has yet to be optimized. People are spending less via mobile devices than via online e-commerce services and at retail outlets. Merchandise purchases account for about 23 percent of the total value forecast for 2017.
Money transfer value continues to increase because users are transacting much more frequently (although at lower values) due to the wider availability of services and to transaction costs that are lower than those of traditional bank services. This makes money transfer a leading use case, one that Gartner forecasts to account for almost 69 percent of the total value in 2017.
Bill payment value was expected to grow 44 percent in 2013 and have consistent growth through the forecast period. This is due to higher value per transaction figures as more consumers in developed markets perform bill payments via mobile banking services along with consumers in emerging markets who are transacting at higher values originally forecast. Bill payments will account for about 5 percent of the total value forecast for 2017.
