What It Is

net.extend is a privately held IT and telecommunications service provider registered in Munich, Germany. It primarily serves large B2B enterprises and telecom providers, offering flexible applications and solutions that fill gaps in complex service environments. Its positioning is similar to that of a mid-sized IT integrator, helping large enterprises such as Lufthansa implement customized solutions for specific needs.

Core Dimension Analysis

• Service Types: Covers micropayment processing, SaaS software services, IT hosting, and remote access solutions. It is particularly strong in micropayments, providing highly automated, low-error processing for high-volume, low-value transaction scenarios such as WiFi and HotSpot billing.
• Supported Payment Methods: Its payment processing services focus on small payments from end users. However, for its own enterprise billing, it only supports local German electronic direct debit and does not support credit cards or other international payment methods.
• Supported Countries/Regions: Mainly focused on the German market and governed by German federal law, excluding the CISG. It serves large domestic enterprises such as Lufthansa.
• Rates and Fees: Specific transaction rates are not publicly disclosed. Enterprise customers must pay subscription fees in advance. In the event of a returned debit, a fee of €10 per item is charged. Telephone and remote technical support are billed separately.
• Settlement Cycle: Not clearly disclosed.
• Compliance and Licensing: Strong compliance credentials, including PCI payment certification and DIN ISO/IEC 27001-certified data center partnerships. It also undergoes regular penetration testing by top-tier organizations.
• Risk Control Capabilities: Uses Microsoft Entra ID-based 2FA to secure remote access. For credit risk management, it conducts customer credit checks through agencies such as SCHUFA.
• API and Integration: The system is fully integrated and highly automated, with deep integration into Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). It supports dedicated tenants and fine-grained permission rules.

Pricing, Pros and Cons

Pricing is based on a prepaid subscription model, with exact amounts available on request. Pros include highly cost-effective micropayment processing, strong security and compliance standards (PCI/ISO27001), and deep integration with the Microsoft ecosystem. Cons include limited payment options (German direct debit only), separately billed technical support, and limited internationalization.

Who It’s For

Best suited for B2B companies in Germany or Europe that need to process large volumes of small payments, such as public WiFi billing, as well as large organizations requiring highly secure remote access management.

Access from China

Network access may be partly limited, mainly because its servers and compliance framework are based in Germany with no China-specific optimization. It does not support local Chinese payment methods such as Alipay or WeChat Pay. Chinese companies expanding overseas that need alternatives may consider global payment gateways such as Stripe or Adyen.
