Mumbai: Single.id is world’s first cross-reward-programme-identifier.
Whenever a consumer claims a retailer’s special offer using a discount voucher, it’s easy for the retailer to attribute the source of such redemption, because they take delivery of the physical voucher. When it comes to linking offers to payments, this is a lot more complicated.
There are many players in the transaction value chain, from card issuers, payment gateways, card acquirers, card schemes and open banking, so attributing the source of an offer claimant is very hard. One payment only generates one payment transaction so it should only generate one reward, but this isn’t always the case.
When many different transaction streams and payment apps are available, a lack of clear attribution for payment linked rewards results in Retailers paying out multiple times on each transaction, depleting their ROI and creating a strong resistance to participating in multiple Reward Programmes.
Enigmatic Smile solves this very real concern for Retailers with its Single.id service. Because it operates as a cross-reward-programme-identifier for every individual and their payment cards, as a network effect kicks in, Single.id establishes itself as a provider of End User identity across the entire retail rewards space – something no other competing system has achieved. This single identity, ascertained and deduced from multiple sources, becomes a huge value over time for Reward Programmes, Retailers and End Users.
Indiantelevision.com caught up with Enigmatic Smile’s CEO BishSmeir and country head Chandra Bhushan, where they talked about their recent collaboration with three new large partners in detail.
