Q1. Can you start us off with what is bePAY about and how it is a different from other crypto ecommerce services ?
Bach Pham:
Thank you for the good Question. I and my friend start together as a mobile POS company and we have runs 10,000 active stores and 300,000 user
Then we would like to run to the crypto space to develope more financial services to our customer.
The 3 most important things that make us different with the competitors are:
1) We connect the crypto capital (DEFI) with the traditional market (Buy now pay later)
That means the consumer has more choice to pay the merchant, they could use the product and services with a low budget, no interest rate.
According to McKinsey, the market size is $106 billion and keeps growing more than 20% annually. The fastest growing in the personal loan industry.
Potential customers: The market we aim to serve is Gen Y, Gen Z who prefer a more easier and flexible payment, no interest rate.
Merchants love BNPL services because that will increase their revenue at least 25% per year, increase customer retention, increase the Average Order Value.
2) We have a team of experts: have nearly 15 years experience working in the multinational country in retail, fintech, mobile development. We also have strong partner and Advisor board.
3) We also have an existing network of 10,000 active stores and 300,000 users. That help us quite good advantages to growth to a sustainable uptrend

Q.1) Website question from
@CandyWarior
i think for some online store / e-commerce they already have their own BNPL payment method for their users. so how bePay will compete their own (merchant who have) payment method? or you will offer bePay to online store who not already have BNPL payment method? or you will your very own online merchant store too?
Bach Pham:
Today, BNPL is becoming an emerging trend among Gen Z and Millenials in America, Europe, Australia, and certain parts of Asia when it comes to shopping payment. BNPL programs have now been integrated into several large retailers' POS systems, including Walmart, Amazon, and Target. However, major BNPL businesses such as Afterpay, Klarna, and Affirm currently only accept normal fiats for installment financing.
bePAY is currently the pioneer in promoting BNPL programs with Crypto E-Commerce, NFT Marketplace, Metavers... Our services will be made available to our 10,000 merchants in over ten countries. bePAY's BNPL solution is also available to merchants that want to keep up with the fast-paced growth of crypto, blockchain, and DeFi and want to provide a different payment option to their customers at the point of sale.
As previously said, the market is enormous, and bePAY has a lot of potentials to become a viable product and expand swiftly in the future.

Q.2)Website question from @Caterpillar29
I heard that bePAY #IDO is coming on Ascent Launchpad this month? So can you tell us in advance a few details about the upcoming IDO? Do you have a final date for this event? And why we shouldn’t miss your IDO?
Bach Pham:
It is true what you've heard. On the 21st, bePAY is going to have an IDO on Ascent by Bitbns.
If you think as a venture capitalist, you will realize an IDO from a potential project will include:
1) A huge market
2) An experienced team with Partner and Advisor

These are all the 3 things we here at bePAY believe that we have already achieve.
Therefore, the potential of the project to skyrocket quickly is totally possible. With the small investment at the beginning, you can receive back big and promising returns.
Nothing can ensure a project's success 100 percent, but it will get steam quickly if you choose the correct project, you are going have a significant probability of winning.
