AppTech Payments (APCX) Has the Patented Technology That Could Disrupt the Fintech Sector and All Financial Enterprises Can Seamlessly Slide In
“APCX has created the only single platform that does both sides of the banking and merchant processing in the world.”
“MasterCard and VISA have signed on and are fully integrated in”
Good day everyone,
AppTech Payments Corp. (NASDAQ: APCX), is a Fintech company offering and developing a platform for B2B, B2C and P2P capabilities in payments.
Current price $1.73/share (as of 10:00 am EDT 4-25-22)
After an open at $1.86/share and an early high of $1.88 APCX shares have had a slow, but steady early morning start today. The equities markets are tentative this morning however, we could see a bounce soon as they reach oversold conditions.
The real value in APCX lies in their patented technology. Fintech has changed the way we transact business; it’s been years since I’ve seen the inside of a bank and I only keep a small amount of cash on hand. Electronic transactions available to us with fintech 1.0 make our lives simpler and expands our realm of choices, but the system comes with many frustrations like:
The vendor doesn’t accept your payment method.
Hackers constantly invading fintech platforms.
Spending time filling in forms with your card information.
Needing an encyclopedia of your usernames and passwords.
So, what exactly is APCX doing to disrupt fintech?
As I said earlier, the company has four patents that cover any invoicing or sale between a computer and computer, a computer and cellphone, and cellphone and a cellphone. MasterCard and VISA have signed on and are fully integrated in.
Frankly, we are ready for fintech 2.0 and that is where APCX comes in. Today, merchants and banks operate through a “middleman” to accomplish transactions and APCX technology will eliminate that third party. APCX has created the only single platform that does both sides of the banking and merchant processing in the world.
Stay tuned for our full report on APCX.

This Company May Be About To Dominate All Digital Payments
Their FOUR Patents Could Bring Big Tech To Its Knees – Taking Over The $2.5 TRILLION Global Digital Payment Market. And That’s Not All…
Good day everyone and welcome to all of our new members,
5 Reasons we Think AppTech Payments Corp. (NASDAQ: APCX) Could Quickly Become the Next Fintech Giant
- Consumers, especially GenZ, are frustrated with high friction payment systems and poor digital shopping experiences.
- Traditional payment systems were built long ago and were not built to scale for online and phone payments.
- AppTech Payments Corp. has the ONLY seamless digital payment system that integrates banking and merchant functions for frictionless transactions.
- MasterCard and VISA have signed on and are fully integrated in.
- The company has four patents that cover any invoicing or sale between a computer and computer, a computer and cellphone, and cellphone and a cellphone.
Current price $1.85/share
We all know how strong the fintech sector is, those service fees for every asset transaction are an irresistible lure for many companies and it seems like everyone wants in. Fintech technology is especially strong with a projected CAGR of 20% over the next six years.
I wanted to find a company that operated a fintech platform that was also developing new fintech technology. I looked for a small cap company listed on the NASDAQ, keeping in mind the parameters our members gravitate to, and I came across Apptech. APCX uplisted to the NASDAQ on January 7, 2022, with a $13M capital raise and with the changes happening right now at the company, I expect 2022 to be a breakout year for this company. Currently flying under the radar with near-term potential as well.
APCX has a strong cash position, new blood in their management team, and an appetite for expansion and growth. The bigger players in the fintech sector reflect some lofty market values but I think APCX is just beginning its journey and still offers value for our group.
Luke D’Angelo, CEO of AppTech commented: “we look forward to forming additional partnerships with strong organizations to support integrations of digital banking and business payment acceptances.”
APCX statistics:
Outstanding shares – 16.3M
Float – 7.5M shares
Insider ownership – 33.6%
Market Cap – $30M
YTD high – $3.15/share
At the beginning of this year, the company closed a public offering, in conjunction with a new NASDAQ listing, of 3,614,458 units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock, at a public offering price of $4.15 per unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $13.0 million. The warrants are exercisable at $5.1875/share for five years.
The $13M capital raise, done in conjunction with the company’s NASDAQ uplist, gives APCX the flexibility to develop the IP necessary to compete in the fintech sector as well as develop SaaS technology to promote within the fintech sector. I’m excited about the future for the APCX digital/mobile platform for PaaS and BaaS but I am more excited about the patented IP portfolio they are building (read below) as that may be the aspect of this company that is irresistible to a bigger fish.
At the beginning of this year APCX welcomed Nicholas Nolasco and Scott Carnley as members of the company’s senior technical leadership team. Nicolas will be AppTech’s Chief Architect responsible for setting the technical strategy and direction of AppTech’s fintech platform. Scott will be AppTech’s Director of Engineering, leading the day-to-day management of AppTech’s Engineering team.

APCX shares have been trending over the past month, pushing past their SMA20 of $1.60 and their SMA50 of $1.44/share. I expect the company shares could gain to their YTD high of $3.15/share and beyond.
