eMoney, a Financial Institution, licensed in Malta with a European Passport, has a decade of proven management experience in the
world of electronic money, issuance of online current accounts and issuance of rechargeable credit cards. eMoney integration will
extend the reach of the Upco App across Europe for Debit and Credit transactions and ensure full compliance with relevant
regulatory frameworks within the European banking community. eMoney will handle user onboarding within existent regulatory
frameworks, and support transaction processing internally, and in and out of UpcoPay.
Beginning in Spring 2019, Upco users in Europe and Canada will be able to use UpcoPay to send and receive money easily, securely
and anonymously, which will be expanded into other jurisdictions over time. UpcoPay will also be able to deliver substantially
reduced transaction fees over conventional services provided by major existing payment networks, delivering significant savings to
vendors and ultimately to consumers.
According to Statista, in 2018, global transaction volume in the mobile point-of-sale payments space is expected to reach US$391
billion in 2018 and is projected to increase to more than US$1.3 trillion by 2022.
Once this foundation is in place, SixthContinent Inc. will be integrated into UpcoPay under the terms of a recently signed
Collaborative Agreement. SixthContinent is the largest international platform for shopping cards with a network of more than 3000
leading brands including Amazon, Walmart, Starbucks and Macys, and a community of 400,000 users. This integration will provide
cost-effective support for shopping card purchases via the SixthContinent platform, benefiting users while also generating income
for Upco through service and transaction fees. The design of the SixthContinent solution is proceeding in parallel with eMoney
integration, and within the same general timeframe for go-live.
Andrea Pagani, CEO, stated: "This is a major milestone for our company. In a rapidly evolving world, technology has
reinvented commerce, and digital purchases are becoming more and more mobile based, altering the role the payments industry plays
in the transaction. We strongly believe that UpcoPay will very soon play a key role in this evolution. In this context, we are very
honored by our recent agreement with SixthContinent, a leading platform in the social commerce market. Integration with
SixthContinent will allow us to rapidly expand our user base, making the world of digital mobile payments safer, faster and more
convenient than ever, for both merchants and users."
Upco also has an agreement in place with Transfer To, which enables money transfer to a Mobile SIM of any user in the world.
