Billions of US dollars in gift cards remain to be spent

About two-thirds of American consumers purchase gift cards each year for different occasions. From 2008 to 2014, around 44 billion US dollars in unspent gift card balance has accumulated. It provides a lot of opportunities for merchants to increase their revenues from users in United States.

More than 17 million adult Americans do not have credit cards, relying strongly on cash-based forms of payments. They are outside the financial mainstream for one reason or another, finding alternative and unconventional ways to purchase goods online. With the latest integration of popular gift cards, there is no need for credit cards, allowing more users to buy goods and make the most of purchased and unused gift cards.

Paymentwall has added this cash-based payment method to let users without credit cards pay however they want and to protect merchants from fraudulent payments, ensuring they do not have to deal with chargebacks or hits to their merchant fraud score.
