NEW YORK, January 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
Technology's appeal has reached the mainstream. Primarily, consumers tend to use mobile devices and computers. According to
Pew Research Center, 95% of Americans own a cell phone of some kind, and of that percentage, 77% own a smartphone. The large
abundance of mobile users has now led technology companies to develop applications that are easily accessible on those devices.
Specifically, digital payment platforms have grown significantly with the increasing usage of mobile devices. According to data
compiled by Stratistics MRC, the global digital payments market was valued at USD 34.65 Billion in
2017 and is expected to reach USD 168.65 Billion by 2026. Additionally, the market is projected to
grow at a CAGR of 19.2% during the forecast period. Morphing consumer trends are reshaping the market as many consumers are
demanding payment platforms that are convenient but also secure. The market is also expected to continue its growth with the
increasing adoption of smartphones and e-commerce applications. GreenBox Pos LLC (OTC: GRBX), Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE),

Digital payment platforms are rapidly expanding in industries where businesses offer goods or services to consumers. These
platforms are increasingly being adopted because they are a much more secure and direct method of completing transactions, as
opposed to physical monetary payments. Digital transactions help prevent fraud and physical damage, which has led governments to
frame rules and regulations for consumers to adopt these digital payments. "Providing a frictionless customer experience used to
be the key differentiator some years ago. Today, not offering the best customer experience is a competitive disadvantage.
Shoppers expect faster check-out times and a fuss-free and secure payment process. In the world of retail, modern payment
solutions are key to improving the customer experience," said David Lau, General Manager,
Wirecard, Hong Kong, Macau & Taiwan.
GreenBox Pos LLC (OTC: GRBX) last week was mentioned by Global Payout, Inc. in an update to shareholders by Chief
Executive Officer, Ms. Vanessa Luna, "As 2018 comes to an end, I'd like to take this opportunity,
on behalf of myself and the Company to provide our valued shareholders with clarity on a number of business endeavors and
aspirations for the new year. My involvement with Global Payout since 2016 has always been, and continues to be, that of
persistence, innovation, recognition of opportunities, and the cultivation of key partnerships. In my opinion, the time leading
up to this moment was well spent on laying the ground work and building the infrastructure necessary to sustain what we can now
expect to be prospective rapid growth and universal adoption of our payment system across a multitude of sectors.
Early on I saw the potential in MoneyTrac Technology and began to focus my efforts on developing it as the core business
initiative in a closed loop environment while focusing on the technology to create a sustainable payment platform. The true value
of the Company came into focus at the beginning of this year when we signed an exclusive license with GreenBox POS (OTCQB: GRBX)
to offer a truly unique payment solution to the mass market. In the midst of the progresses made at MTrac, and in the best
interests of all the shareholders, MoneyTrac Technology completed a reverse triangular merger to create MTrac Tech Corporation,
the surviving entity, with Global Payout now holding all the issued and outstanding shares of MTrac Tech Corporation (making it a
wholly owned operating subsidiary and MoneyTrac Technology shareholders receiving Company shares).
While focusing our efforts on generating revenue for MTrac Tech Corp., the Company has also been focused heavily on meeting
several goals for the parent company, Global Payout. Since the merger and change in management, the focus has been to complete
the necessary two-year financial audit in conjunction with our independent auditing firm Frucci and Associates which we
accomplished late this year. We have retained Nicolas Cosia to complete our Form 10, which is in
its final draft stages, and we have every intention of filing the Form-10 in the next few weeks. The filing of the Form-10 is a
meticulous process that requires full and fair disclosure and for which there is no margin for error. We understand how anxious
our shareholders are to see this filed, and our team has been working diligently through the audit to get us to this point, but I
want to assure all of our shareholders that this is a process that we have handled with extreme care and precision and have not
been able to properly estimate the time it would take, however, with the help of our counsel and strategic advisors, we are very
close and anticipate the filing to occur within the first few weeks of the new year.
Fully reporting status will be a major milestone for Global shareholders and we plan to showcase Global as a revenue
generating entity with the potential that will be reflected in a fair market valuation, one which I personally believe is
significantly undervalued today. We are looking to restructure the stock by addressing all outstanding shares to increase value
for those true believers in what we are building here. This was never intended on being a short journey, as the real and
successful ones take time, persistence, and hard work, and I'm so proud of our team for meeting the challenge and succeeding
in the process of cleaning up our company structure, a thankless job that requires constant reassessment of issues that
arise each step of the way through the comprehensive audit process. We have also worked with note holders on conversion of debt
and look forward to the continued restructuring of Global Payout Inc. In 2019 we plan to utilize a license from our technology
partner GreenBox POS, LLC (OTCQB: GRBX) for low-risk and high-risk payment processing with a number of merchants ready to go live in Q1. Global
will continue to identify new industries and new business opportunities to bring this tech to market. Accompanying me and serving
Global Payout will be COO/Interim CFO Mr. David Flores and Ms. Stormy
Simon, a Director of the Board.
The Company has seen several major business developments take place for MTrac Tech Corp.; we currently have a new 5yr
"Exclusive" Licensing agreement with GreenBox POS, LLC (OTCQB: GRBX) and Cultivate Technologies. Since we set the new MTrac system live on October
2nd we have successfully onboarded and currently have over 30 Merchants utilizing MTrac. We have successfully produced
revenue from our existing clients and although the numbers seem small as we ramp up our revenue has increased by about 1000% in
Q4 in comparison to all of Q3. While we recognize that past performance does not predict future results, in management's opinion,
we are well on our path to showcasing the true revenue potential of MTrac. Just this year we have met with city municipalities,
state representatives, government relations teams, local state Banks, City Police Departments, merchants, and consumers, all of
whom have agreed that the system provides a comprehensive value proposition for many peripheral stakeholders with various
benefits in the areas of compliance, public safety, reporting, convenience, and adaptability.
As a strategic endeavor, we planned our initial roll out and proof of concept of MTrac in what is currently the most
underserved industry in this market, the Cannabis industry. One of our core strategies thus far has been to include the valuable
feedback of our clients for continued development into updating the system for our mutual benefit. We intend to offer the most
adoptive and premier service to every aspect of this market including retail merchants, and vendors in the supply chain. Our
ecosystem is a unique and now proven platform that is in our estimation being adopted by the largest companies in this industry.
The potential for this system reaches into every sector of this market from sales, to regulation, to banking. We are in talks
with some of the industry's leading POS companies for the purpose of integrating MTrac into their existing software, which would
give us instant access to a wide swath of market share. Our government relations team, MGR2, LLC, has worked continuously in
several east coast states at high legislative levels speaking with state representatives and local municipalities for
consideration to approve and vouch for our system for the benefit of their licensed businesses, digital tax revenue, and
regulatory controls. We will continue into 2019 to onboard merchants, complete direct integrations, work with state Banks, and
States who are looking to adopt our system. For MTrac we intend to be moving forward with Mr. Jason
LeBlanc, who was promoted to COO, and Mr. Aaron Adler as CRO, along with a team of
dedicated employees, and our growing Las Vegas call center. We are proud and fortunate to have
assembled an incredible team at MTrac who have spearheaded all of our expansion initiatives and delivering value to Global
shareholders.
As I look ahead to 2019, it is no secret that our primary focus is on continuing to drive revenue and on working to increase
our market valuation in a very competitive and challenging marketplace. The excitement and overall optimism I have for the year
ahead is palpable to say the least. My confidence for success is driven and reinforced in recognizing that both Global Payout and
MTrac are led by a collective group of extremely talented and motivated professionals who will simply not rest until each and
every objective we have set forth is achieved. So much of what we accomplished in 2018 has positioned us for an extraordinary
2019 and as such, I cannot help but to believe that Global Payout is truly a "hidden gem" in the OTC Markets, and is one that, in
my opinion, has a very unique opportunity to become one of the most talked about breakthroughs of 2019. So please, hang in there
and stay tuned for a remarkable year ahead!"
Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE), from 2014 to 2017, focused on identifying new state of the art technologies in a
variety of industry sectors and successfully helped launch MoneyTrac Technology Inc. and other companies within the FinTech
space. Global Payout recently announced the execution of a license agreement with GreenBox POS for its groundbreaking blockchain
payment technology for use in a variety of business sectors. The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, MTrac Tech Corp., executed an
exclusive licensing agreement with GreenBox POS for certain types of industries, and now Global will also be able to utilize
their technology to provide payments to a whole host of other industries considered both low and high-risk by traditional
merchant processors. "While the last year has been dedicated to the development and launch of MTrac, we have also been planning
to expand the reach of Global Payout for some time," said Global Payout, Chief Executive Officer Vanessa
Luna. "The extension of the license for Global Payout provides another revenue stream to the Company and offers us the
opportunity to expand into other markets that lack consistent and reliable merchant processing. Further, I believe this
relationship will offer the general public the ability to use the ledger technology of Blockchain in a salient way and can
showcase how this technology can be use in a multitude of ways to solve many of the issues plaguing the financial services
industry. The immutable ledger and tracking features allow unparalleled security and transparency that just isn't available
through other payment platforms, and we are extremely excited to bring this system to the mass market. GreenBox is an amazing
company and working alongside their executive management team to execute this agreement has been a real pleasure, we look forward
to the new year, and accomplishing many great things with the license."
Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSTK) is an online retailer and technology company based in Salt
Lake City, Utah. Overstock.com, Inc. recently announced that, Medici Land Governance, its blockchain subsidiary focused on
land administration, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Teton County, Wyoming
to develop a blockchain-based land records and information platform in 2019. Medici Land Governance (MLG) and Teton County will work together to develop and implement the software needed for the county, which includes
the town of Jackson, to transfer and display information from its current land and property
titling system to the new blockchain-based system. The new system will utilize MLG's technologies, policies, and programs to
track, record, and make available to the public certain information related to real property for management purposes. Once in
place, the system will also automatically capture and record subsequent land administration transactions and updates to the
blockchain. "Our agreement with Teton County is another step toward a global economy where trust
is generated through technology," said Patrick M. Byrne, Overstock.com's Chief Executive Officer
and Founder. "I believe that our work in Wyoming will let us introduce blockchain-based land
administration within the United States."
eBay Inc. (NASDAQ: EBAY) recently announced its intent to intermediate, or manage, the payments flow on its platform to
simplify the end-to-end experience for buyers and sellers. The company has begun managing payments on its Marketplace platform in
the U.S. The goal of managed payments is to drive significant benefits and efficiencies for eBay's hundreds of millions of global
customers. In the new managed payments experience, Sellers will benefit from a simplified pricing structure, more predictable
access to their funds, and better visibility into sales and payouts. eBay will continue to expand managed payments to buyers and
sellers over time and expects to have transitioned a majority of its Marketplace customers to its new payments experience in
2021. "The introduction of eBay's new payments experience in the US marks a significant milestone in our managed payments
journey," said Steve Fisher, Senior Vice President of Payments at eBay. "In less than eight months
since announcing our initiative, we've moved rapidly to build our back-end payments platform, engage thoughtfully with our seller
community to solicit their input and line up new forms of payment - all of which has led to the introduction of managed payments.
Looking ahead to 2019, we will expand our new experience to more buyers and sellers in the US and begin rolling out our new
payments experience outside the US."
