About

Clear View Services for merchants provide a portfolio of "No Credit Card Required" payment services and co-marketing options. Our flagship Clear Exchange ™ network enables merchants to reach over 200 million active North American consumers, and enables these consumers to simply add charges to their monthly phone bills. Through our strategic relationships with network operators, merchants can also promote, bill and market their services through the operators as distribution channels. Clients report that our services typically increase new merchants revenues by 25%-35% or more. Consumers are demanding more services on a single bill. The consumer also wants a safer more convenient payment option to calm fraud concerns and improve the on-line buying experience.

Consider

  • Typically, over 50% of on-line consumers who enter the buying process actually abandon the final checkout process before completing the transaction - Many consumers don't even make it to the point of sale. This abandonment cost North American online merchants $63 billion last year. And, one of the major factors that would lead consumers to complete additional purchases is 'safer and more convenient' payment options. In fact, 78% of consumers would be more willing to buy online if given safer and more convenient payment options, especially for smaller ticket items. Safe and convenient payment options do more than just drive more consumers to purchase. They also increase the number of transactions: nearly half of online consumers say they'd spend up to $20 more per month if allowed to charge online services to their phone bill. With Broadband growth hitting 78% of North American households by 2010 (Jupiter Research 2009) and mobile subscribers exceeding 200 million (CTIA, Nov 2009), Network Operators are now a key distribution channel for bundled content and services. Merchants must master the complexities of using operators as a channel or they will quickly be at a competitive disadvantage. The good news is that consumers are demanding bundled content and services on a single bill. In fact, 92% of consumers favor a single bill for all their merchants service needs (Adjoined Research, 2009) and operators are quickly re-designing their strategies and platforms to support content in order to remain competitive.
  • Payment Is Now a Critical Part of Marketing Strategy - Once relegated to the back office, payments are now a strategic part of the marketing function and consumer experience. Companies must offer a broad array of options to better address consumer preferences and fraud concerns, recapture revenue, and maximize the profitability of every subscriber. Merchants are increasingly deploying a wider set of payment options to better reach more consumer segments and eliminate point-of-sale friction. More than 78% of consumers would be more inclined to make online purchases if given safer and more convenient payment options. Consumer desire for more "payment convenience" and a growing fear of fraud both continue to impact buying behavior. Last year alone, merchants lost an aggregated $172 million a day due to consumer abandonment at time of checkout. In contrast, Clear View clients typically attract, convert and retain 25% more consumers when deploying complementary "No Credit Card Required" payment options and strategies.
  • A Single Access Point to over 200 Million Billable Consumers - At the core of our "No Credit Card Required" services, the Clear Exchange™ network provides merchants a single direct access point to simplify billing to over 200 million active consumers. The Clear Exchange™ network is made up of over 1500 Network Operators, including all major network, mobile and broadband operators and covers over 90% of North American households.
  • Network Operators Are Now Also Distribution Channels - In addition to offering consumers a convenient option to charge services to their existing operator bills, merchants can also use the Clear Exchange™ network to market their services directly through the major network operators. Clear View combines one of the industry's first intermediary platforms enabling both operators and merchants to effectively collaborate and rapidly co-market cross-sell and co-bill merchants services to meet consumer demands.
