Vancouver, BC – CUV Ventures Corp. (TSX-V: CUV) (the “Company”) Vancouver, BC – (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the wholly owned subsidiary, RevoluPAY® S.L, has entered into a definitive agreement (“DA”) with Geneva, Switzerland based CY Talk S.A, for the RevoluCHARGE worldwide mobile; pay-as-you-go top-ups, mobile plans and, mobile data credits, covering mobile phone users in 248 countries and territories. Studies reveal that, in order to remain in constant contact with loved ones back home, remittance senders also assist family members with telecom services, such as phone top-ups and data plans, thus rendering RevoluCHARGE a necessary addition to the Revolu suite of services. This additional, approximately $8 Billion USD global annual business, is a logical addition to RevoluPAY®, as this type of service is regularly utilized by our target remittance sender market.
RevoluCHARGE Business Model
As a result of the definitive agreement (“DA”), the company’s RevoluCHARGE division will allow anyone in the world to send; minute, sms and, data credits, to family or friends internationally, exclusively through the company’s proprietary payment app RevoluPAY® and, a forthcoming “Powered by RevoluPAY®” autonomous RevoluCHARGE App. The company considers the approximately $8 Billion USD annual mobile top-up market the perfect complimentary service, in combination with worldwide remittances and payments, through RevoluPAY®.
The Revolu Suite of Services
With the proprietary RevoluPAY® Digital Wallet as the hub, the company is in the process of rolling out other potentially revenue generating divisions to organically grow users while, at the same time, offering attractive synergetic services that consumers consider collectively aligned to their everyday needs.
RevoluVIP – VIP Travel Club (Initial Launch Q3 2018)
RevolUTILITY – Worldwide Utility Bill Payments (Planned Launch Q1 2019)
RevoluPAY Merchant – Empower Small Business Owners (App is live – Rollout Q4 2018)
The company will continue to increment the Revolu Suite in a progressive manner, adding divisions and services which empower its growing user base with appealing services they use on a daily basis but, are now available in the Revolu family, via the same RevoluPAY® user friendly app they love and, in real-time.
RevoluPAY®Wallet Linked Physical RevoluCARD Visa or Mastercard
The company is currently in negotiations to offer a RevoluPAY® branded, Wallet App Linked, physical Visa or Mastercard, to compliment the virtual card NFC empowered app. The plans are for the card to be directly linked to a users RevoluPAY® account, allowing immediate prepaid top-ups to/from the card, in real time. The rationale behind this addition to RevoluPAY® convenience is that NFC (Near Field Communication) POS devices are not entirely widespread in developing countries, with the older swipe machines being more prevalent. By adding an associated physical Visa or Mastercard, the app user would be able to utilize all types of POS devices plus, the abundant network of national ATMs to withdraw local currency. The company has submitted two card designs and, will provide an update on the RevoluCARD, once it has approved one of the contracts presently under analysis.
RevoluPAY® App Exits Sandbox After Android Live testing
On August 10th, the latest version 1.0.3 of the RevoluPAY® Consumer app successfully concluded live testing and, exited the Sandbox trials. During the trials, real worldwide users added money to their wallets and, enacted real transfers to other RevoluPAY® users in disparate locations, wallet-to-wallet. The company is now focusing upon wallet-to-bank account transfers and, hopes to have this facility live by month’s end. Further upcoming developments will include; country licensees, cash-out collection points and, home remittance deliveries, in addition to specific banking partner cash-out (disbursement) synergies. Additionally, programmers have concluded the bilateral API between the RevoluPAY App and equity owned and, FINTRAC Licensed, Duales. Finalized integration and real-time operability is imminent.
Shareholders should note, the company has NOT yet marketed RevoluPAY® to its extensive client base, nor has it connected RevoluPAY® as a payment mechanism on its popular proprietary +30 million annual page view websites or subsidiary owned businesses. Full marketed rollout and, RevoluPAY® as a payment option on owned web properties, will occur when the upcoming IOS for Apple version is imminently released.
