VANCOUVER, British Columbia , April 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RevoluGROUP Canada Inc. (TSX-V: REVO), (Frankfurt: IJA2) is pleased to announce an update concerning the PSD2 Banking license petition.
Hogan Lovells Provides PSD2 License Status Update
Corporate attorneys Hogan Lovells have provided RevoluPAY S.L with a written PSD2 license approval update dated 23rd April 2020. In the letter to RevoluPAY S.L CEO, Alfredo Manresa, the lead attorney states: “We have contacted the Bank of Spain numerous times regarding your (license) petition dossier. It has been fully accepted by the (Central Bank) Payment Systems and authorization divisions and is already pending approval by the Executive Committee, which should take place shortly, no more than three weeks (due to the difficulties of the national state of alarm and the COVID, it will not be before). This is excellent news after so much time and delays.”
RevoluGROUP Corporate Response to COVID-19
Foreword
RevoluGROUP Canada Inc. and our 5 wholly owned subsidiaries generate revenue via our digital FinTech apps and analogous web-based direct-to-consumer sales platforms. Unlike bricks and mortar businesses, our platforms have remained entirely functional throughout the whole current world shutdown.The company’s focus on ground breaking technology that permits worldwide distance transactions has proven an excellent ally during these unusual times. Furthermore, the worlds populace is facing a new reality, one in which presential transactions are either impossible or severely limited. As such, the mass adoption of technology, such as that offered by RevoluGROUP, is experiencing a huge upsurge in user adoption. Consumers are now embracing such technologies in record numbers, primarily inspired by the global inability to transact in a physically present or point-of-sale (POS) manner. The company does not believe that the ease of use and overall benefits of such technologies will be forgotten by consumers post-COVID and, it anticipates not only a retention of new users but, a continued exodus towards distance transactions as new users and, their extended families, recognize the time saved and incomparable convenience such apps bring to everyday life.
Managements View of the Future
The company has implemented a series of internal measures to instigate immediate cost cutting in its RevoluVIP Travel and RevoluREALTY Property Sales divisions. These include a reduction in nonessential personnel and a focus upon sustaining these verticals active at minimal cost to the company while, at the same time, concluding the addition of previously pending vital services in preparation for a Post-COVID commercial resurgence. Travelucion, the wholly owned licensed travel subsidiary domiciled in the Canary Islands, has also applied for several generous, travel sector specific, non-repayable grants and relief programs announced by the Spanish government. The RevoluFIN alternative lending platform is studying a scenario in which small consumer loans could be proposed under a fractional lending scenario. RevolUTILITY, RevoluCHARGE and RevoluEGAME are self-financing and sustaining platforms which require minimal ongoing operational expenditure. Unsurprisingly, in the light of world events, the RevoluMED vertical has garnered immense attention and, the company expects those pre-COVID logistical and legal barriers, existing in certain nations, to be rapidly repealed forthwith, with a focus upon self-test-kits and, home delivered medications. Additionally, RevoluPAY is already making inroads to speedily sign the myriad of pending Definitive Agreements and, subsequent user-onboarding, for which the company was awaiting the aforementioned PSD2 license approval. Also, an external shipping partner has been sought to ensure the projected increase in worldwide deliveries of the RevoluPAY Visa Card. While a reduction in individual user/consumer spending is to be expected, the company is confident that the accelerated mass adoption of FinTech based platforms will far outweigh the predicted drop in individual transaction amounts going forward. Lastly, in synergy with the aforementioned PSD2 news, the company is readying its RevoluPAY partner merchant payment system for deployment across numerous third party platforms.
The company remains well funded to achieve all of its current goals and, does not anticipate the need to raise any capital in the near future.
