Payment technology that empowers people.
Let's equalize food
One in eight Americans receives government assistance to buy groceries. However, until recently, recipients had been unable to use their benefits to purchase groceries online.
Meaning:
People who rely on EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfers) can't access the convenience of online shopping
Grocers without an online presence are unable to reach all of their potential customers
Currently, approximately 200 grocers in America accept EBT online (compared to 250,000 that accept EBT in physical stores)
Expand your services, grow your market
Since March 2020, online grocery shopping has increased exponentially. By 2025, online grocery shopping is expected to swell to 21.5% of total U.S. grocery sales, more than doubling its current share of the overall market.
