Udo Müller, chief executive officer of paysafecard, said that the company had identified “tremendous” potential in the market.
“Security and convenience are the essential features when paying online,” Müller said. “For this reason, paysafecard continued to gain in significance last year, as the figures clearly demonstrate.
“The market potential is tremendous: There are one billion potential customers worldwide who would like to pay online, but who do not have a bank account or credit card.
“And even if such means are available, people often do not wish to use them online for security reasons. Paysafecard is the solution for all of them.”
