VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 21, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CUV Ventures Corp. (TSX-V:CUV)
(Berlin:A2JE7L) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has formally launched the RevoluFIN factoring and lending platform.
The company is very encouraged with the initial interest in the platform, having done very minimal marketing.
RevoluFIN financing platform
The lending platform www.RevoluFIN.com had been active in public beta form since March 8th and has, thus
far, garnered interest from 5 separate international entities seeking factoring loans. Several potential lenders have also
contacted the company through the website and, are communicating with management. The RevoluFIN proprietary financing platform
facilitates short to medium terms loans and factoring for commercial transactions, to both private and corporate businesses,
chiefly in the travel and leisure sectors. RevoluFIN obtained its initial seed capital guarantee of up to 40 million Euros (approx
63 million CAD) on the 12th of March from Vesilen Investments. The RevoluFIN finance platform provides payment
facilities for commercial Letter of Credit (LC) holders, and secured short term financing requirements. Further, the platform
focuses upon stimulating the nascent self employed economies around the world, including travel related services, sold through the
company’s proprietary and partner websites, giving these entrepreneurs access to much needed capital, while securitizing loans
through pre-booking retentions associated with future paid travel service reservations. RevoluFIN has already received multiple
requests for loans and, is in the process of studying these opportunities. The company expects to obtain, on average, a 5% gross
profit on loans.
CUV Ventures Corp partner Tyrval, a major worldwide supplier to the hospitality industry, has also begun
submitting numerous factoring requests, for orders from numerous hotel chains. All loans, linked to Tyrval, hold the secondary
advantage of an extra 6% royalty on all sales, over and above the loan interest, as per the exclusive commercial agreement
announced on the 22nd March 2017.

domiciled, businesses.
The Cuba Ventures division consulting team harnesses over 80 years of combined advisor experience in submitting
and, obtaining approval, for joint ventures, joint production agreements and import/export permits for foreign enterprises. More
recently the company has taken a royalty approach for future agreements between third parties anxious to begin comercial operations
with Cuba and, the company’s Cuba Consulting Unit.
Through this methodology, the Company is gradually building a potentially valuable “future-ready”, non Caribbean
(Cuba) domiciled asset base while, in the interim, securing revenue, growth and unique opportunities present in the Caribbean
Basin, with an emphasis on the $4 billion dollar and rapidly growing Cuban travel and tourism industry, $3 billion factoring and FinTech sector, $18.6 billion Caribbean remittance industry and international corporate consulting for Cuba’s
estimated $86 Billion annual economy, which remains an interesting opportunity and, one that this division
strives to dominate at every opportunity by acquiring assets that are neither physically domiciled nor associated with entities
located in Republic of Cuba but, that have unparalleled future takeover prospects, should the political climate improve.
