Star Metro - Datametrex Subsidiary PayMetrex Highlights Strategic Relevance of Patent Portfolio to Rapidly Expanding SoftPOS Market

Paymetrex's portfolio includes multiple issued U.S. and Canadian patents covering secure transaction processing, payment authorization workflows, and integrated mobile-based acceptance architectures. Specifically, Paymetrex believes portions of its patent portfolio may be relevant to certain emerging software-based payment acceptance solutions currently being deployed in the market, namely SoftPos.

SoftPOS technology enables merchants to accept contactless payments directly on smartphones and NFC-enabled mobile devices without the need for dedicated hardware terminals.

Industry adoption of software-based payment acceptance has accelerated significantly in recent years, driven by financial institutions, fintech providers, and global payment processors seeking scalable, low-cost merchant enablement solutions (Source: ABI Research "SoftPOS and Tap to Phone: Payment Acceptance Goes Software First"). The scope of this acceleration has been highlighted in multiple industry reports. For example, according to Juniper Research, the global value of SoftPOS transactions is projected to reach $540 billion by 2030, up from $22.9 billion in 2025 (Source: SoftPos Transactions to Accelerate by 2,150% in value by 2030; Redefining On-the Go Transactions for Small Businesses) reflecting rapid adoption across both developed and emerging markets. In this same report, Juniper Research, notes that tap-on-phone solutions are expected to play a significant role in expanding merchant acceptance infrastructure worldwide.

AnywhereCommerce has a broad network of customers and well established track record in the payments industry. It is currently deploying SoftPos based solutions and will be leveraging this license in the SoftPOS (software point-of-sale) and tap-on-phone market.

"We believe that our patent portfolio may be relevant to software-based payment acceptance technologies said Paul Haber, CEO of Datametrex. By joining forces with AnywhereCommerce our shareholders may benefit from the ongoing expansion of Anywhere Commerce's SoftPOS solutions, in the payments marketplace. Paymetrex intends to leverage AI-driven analytics tools, including its partnership with Pelent AI, to further assess market alignment and prioritize licensing opportunities within the mobile payments ecosystem to the benefit of itself and Anywhere Commerce."
