Neteller closer to global goal after acquisition
By William Hall
Published: March 9 2005 02:00 | Last updated: March 9 2005 02:00

Neteller, the fast-growing Isle of Man-based electronic money transfer service focused on internet gaming, has taken its first step towards becoming a fully-fledged global internet bank by buying a debit card processor in Asia.

Last week's $12.5m (6.53m) acquisition of Macau-based Quick Access, which processes $50m of debit card payments annually, provides Neteller with access to payment networks in China, one of the biggest growth areas for gaming and financial services.

The acquisition will be integrated into Neteller's payments system that allows customers to load, withdraw and transfer funds instantly by purchasing e-money. Benjamin Lee, a former Hong Kong deputy trade minister, will head Neteller's Asian operations.

Neteller's growth has been fuelled by the reluctance of Visa and Mastercard, two of the world's biggest card-based payments systems, to become heavily involved in handling internet gambling payments, which account for about 80 per cent of Neteller's transactions.

Gord Herman, 46, Neteller's chief executive, said that while gaming-related money transfers were the company's current growth driver, it was only a means to an end.

"We want to use the gaming industry to create the worldwide infrastructure that will allow us to go after the mass market in internet banking," said Mr Herman, a former GE Capital executive.

He added that the company also aimed to compete with Western Union, the money transfer arm of First Data, the $33bn US financial services company.

One of Neteller's closest potential rivals in the internet arena is PayPal, an online payment system with 64m members, which was bought by eBay, the internet auction company, in a $1.5bn deal in October 2002. However, PayPal does not service the gaming industry.

Neteller has been authorised by the Financial Services Authority as a regulated e-money issuer. It plans to use this as a springboard into the rest of the European Union.

The company, founded in Canada in 1999, moved its headquarters to the Isle of Man just over a year ago, where about 20 of its 450 staff are based, to take advantage of the island's low tax rate.

Neteller has been one of Aim's star performers over the past year. It is one of the leading online money transfer systems for an internet gaming market that Bear Stearns forecasts will grow from $6bn in 2004 to $15bn in 2005.

An estimated 2m gamblers log on daily to more than 31,000 internet gaming sites, and the number of Neteller's customers has jumped from less than 100,000 in January 2002 to 1.25m at the end of 2004.

It has clients in more than 100 countries, but the bulk are in the US.

Neteller's shares have more than trebled since it floated last April at 200p, despite fears about the sustainability of its growth rate and concerns that the US Justice Department might try to curb offshore gaming by US citizens. Neteller's market value of 827m is near that of Egg, Prudential's loss-making internet bank, valued at 898m.

Dont worry holders we might be going through a stiff patch but as you can see there isnt a TA follower with the nerve to put his or her theory to the test.

Volume is still there so we should see a recovery comew good times in the US.

Do not sell on this short term weakness.

cheers GF.

What TA theory ?

You tell me.

cheers GF.

Just ticked up positive.

cheers GF.

See what Evil wrote yesterday:

I continue to watch the meteoric rise of Neteller (NLR) with amazement. I am told by a man who knows about these things that competition is mounting so I really do want to go short, but the way that the shares are hoofing along, to open a position now would be to stand in front of the metaphorical express train. Even for someone of my stature that would be an unnecessarily painful experience.

Its in a bloody huge uptrend gf so don't understand your post.

Nothing like a bit of self admiration eh Evil ?

He's cocked up on many occasions but you don't hear much about those !

NLR still holding gains.

cheers GF.

Dil what is your target beyond the 11 quid in september? please, I do remember you giving one.

cheers GF.

Well the obvious next target would be 1500p but this is based on some guess work on my part on future rates of growth , current rates are unsustainable in the medium / long term so an assumption of between 20-25% has been used.

Cheers Dil

GF.

I dont beleive it, it was off the front page, whats this world coming to. Anyway its up.

cheers GF.

And its up more now. Is this a pattern up to results, smaller rises each day?.

cheers GF.
