Los Angeles, CA: Allied Wallet, a global provider of online credit card processing, multi-currency merchant services, and a PCI Level 1 secured payment gateway, has reported over 100 million users worldwide for their online payment solutions after a spike in holiday sales.
After a busy holiday season, Allied Wallet’s merchants saw an average increase of nearly 30% in sales. It’s clear that consumers are beginning to prefer online shopping to the hassles of traditional holiday shopping.
According to a survey performed by the National Retail Federation, 49.9% of shoppers finished their holiday shopping with purchases online. The survey showed the highest percentage in its eleven year history.
Allied Wallet’s merchants saw a significant spike in volume this holiday season, and this spike contributed to Allied Wallet’s growth to over 100 million users worldwide.
Allied Wallet simplifies the process of online shopping by allowing consumers to create an eWallet. This eWallet acts as an online payment solution for consumers that stores and protects their payment information.

But with Allied Wallet, we protect customers from fraud and our eWallet solution keeps their sensitive information private,” he continued.
