Mobile Payments
Making Payments An Engaging, Convenient and Rewarding Experience
It’s no secret that many people — especially the younger demographic — prefer to skip the cash and pay with a credit or debit card. Some of the more tech-savvy have ditched conventional cards altogether and are storing their payment and loyalty card information solely on their smartphones or wearables.
As a business owner, you want to accommodate these customers by offering convenient and easy-to-use technology that empowers them with better experiences that include choices on how to pay, order and more. That’s where Perk Labs can help.

Loyalty Rewards
At Perk Labs, we believe that a fundamental tenet of payments is loyalty rewards.
Loyalty programs in North America are attracting more and more people to their ranks, a rising trend observed across all sectors including retail, financial, travel and hospitality. According to the most recent Colloquy Loyalty Census, memberships in the United States grew 15% over the two year period ending in 2016 hitting 3.8 billion compared to 26% growth rate reported for the prior two year period. As stated in this report, Canada saw a growth of 35% – 175 million verified memberships – in 2016. The retail sector accounts for 42% of all memberships, followed by travel and hospitality at 29% and financial services at 17%.
However, while the market is growing, problems still exist. In the U.S., 54% of memberships were reported inactive in 2016. This indicates that loyalty programs are failing to keep consumers engaged. Furthermore, the slowdown in the rate of growth of memberships (from 26% in 2014 to 15% in 2016) signals a maturing loyalty market in which merchants need to improve their strategies in order to build lasting relationships and retain a loyal consumer base. Customers are more demanding than ever and expect personalized experiences that are tailored for their needs.
Overall, the market data points to a window of opportunity for disruptors who bring technology, simplified user experience, and streamlined payment and consumer workflow to the loyalty market in order to add value for both the customers and the merchants.
Customer Experience & Continual Improvement
We believe that the key to our success is our relationship with our merchants and users and we are constantly working to improve those relationships. Based on feedback from our merchants and users, we are continuously innovating and updating our products to improve our customer experience. We encourage all of our employees to regularly visit our merchants and communicate to the rest of our organization how our business is working.
