SUMMARY OF BENEFITS
EFTA01736147
Payments are a form of
transportation service
* Cost: Mycelium offers a definitive advantage
* Speed: Mycelium uses peer-to-peer channels, thus removing
interbank dependency — the slowest component of the traditional
payments process. In distributed ledger technology, there is no need
to trade-off between speed, flexibility, and efficiency
* Security: distributed ledgers offer unprecedented security
* Comfort and connectivity: contextualized commerce

Contextualized Commerce
• Invisible payments: a platform level approach helps payments fade
into the background.
• Deriving value from purchase journey: shifting focus away from the
payment mechanism to the surrounding e-commerce experience.
• Resolving pre- and post-payment needs: this is where the real
benefits of Mycelium payments will be unlocked. Removing consumer
pain points both before and after payments occur will create the value
needed to spur widespread adoption.

Few Amazing Facts About Mycelium
Merchants can add lists of goods with tags and photos right
into the merchant's console. Consumers can interact with
merchants by scanning QR codes: works great for restaurants
and merchants who are ready for the trending “buy online pick
up in store), concept.
• A card can pay another card at a distance of up to 300 feet; no
infrastructure needed at all, cards use the proprietary wireless
protocol.
* Cardholders can change their PIN code using the card keypad,
no connection needed.
• Any merchant can act as an ATM or a cash accepting top up
machine and earn fees.
Mycelium does not need a server infrastructure to perform
transactions; moreover, its merchants need no POS providers.
Mycelium hub costs only 10 dollars and can be used with an
ordinary web-router.
