INDUSTRIES

E-commerce Platforms

E-commerce platforms experience high cart abandonment rates when faced with price uncertainty from unclear foreign currency conversion rates. Having to check indicative exchange rates from an external source at the most critical point of the sales process makes it extremely unlikely that shoppers return and complete the purchase. Aladdin, M-DAQ’s award winning proprietary engine eliminates the uncertainty by providing you with a guaranteed Home Currency Pricing (HCP) solution, giving your shoppers peace of mind and improving your cart conversion rates. All this is achieved at an industry beating price.

Payment Processors

Apart from providing a robust and secure framework enabling both online and offline merchants to accept payments from various sources, payment service providers (PSPs) must be able to easily collect and settle with their merchants in their home currencies. To stay ahead of competition and expand their international footprint, many PSPs have to manage multiple banking relationships. This is a time consuming and expensive effort, caused by a lack of bargaining power and challenging regulatory requirements made by banks. Riding on our proprietary FX engine, Aladdin can now help PSPs manage their FX risk and allow them to settle with their merchants in their home currency, wherever they are. With this, PSPs can focus on what truly matters to their business: rapid expansion in new territories, and the acquisition of new merchants.

OTAs

Facing excessive competition in the current landscape, OTAs are forced to provide flexibility in its payment options to consumers. As a result, “Book Now Pay Later” is extremely prevalent in the industry today. This has introduced the difficulty of managing the associated FX risk. Over the last 10 years, M-DAQ has perfected our proprietary demand-based engine, Aladdin, which has been tested and proven to do what others can’t, which is to effectively manage the risks faced by OTAs today.
