Loop Insights Responds to Covid-19 Retail Challenges with Contactless Solution

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 9, 2020 / Loop Insights Inc. (TSX.V:MTRX) (the "Company" or "Loop") announces its release of a NFC (Near Field Communication) contactless verification platform to support brick and mortar retail's shift to curbside pick-up and delivery to abide by social distancing expectations.

It has become quite clear that these reactionary processes are incredibly flawed, as they still involve a manual process between retailers and consumers. Loop's technology connects the users' wallet pass information (payment card, coupons, memberships, and identification), and the retailers' online and offline data (e-commerce, mobile commerce, and in-store), to verify the shopper and validate the transaction.

Loop is ready to capitalize on large-scale opportunities as major retailers hit roadblocks at the point of sale. Retail giants, like Target, are halting plans for curbside pick up to minimize human contact. Others major retailers such as Walmart are facing friction with alternative forms of payment, and verification, for online pick-up orders.

Loop CEO Rob Anson: "Covid-19 has created the perfect storm of relevancy for our platform. Loop will provide a safe and secure experience for customers and employees. The need for a digital transformation is at the absolute forefront and our solution will play a large role in the transformational retail shift following this crisis."

It is expected that the contactless payment market will grow from USD 10.3 billion in 2020 to USD 18.0 billion by 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of +11.7% during the forecast period (2020-2025) With the retail market projected as the vertical to hold the largest market size during this forecast period, Loop is in a lucrative position, especially from Covid-19's push for contactless consumer interaction.
