Mobetize Reports Quarterly Revenue Growth and Prov

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 22, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobetize Corp. (OTCQB:MPAY), a provider of  mobile financial services (MFS) technology for the multi-billion dollar business-to-business (B2B) segment of the Fintech as a Service (FAAS) sector, confirms that revenues generated during the three month period ending September 30, 2016, were $216,248 as compared to revenues of $140,630 during the previous three months and $7,707 during the same three month period in 2015.

Revenue Model and Ongoing Business

Mobetize revenue is generated through licensing, consulting and transactional processing of financial services through the Mobetize Global B2B Fintech as a Service Supermarket (the “Hub”) to global telecom operators and financial institutions (FI’s).

Telecoms  and FI’s are choosing the Mobetize Hub as their core Mobile Money Enablement platform and as commercial partners. Mobetize expects to realize significant transactional revenue growth from these relationships.

We continue to work with Tata Communications Canada Ltd. (“Tata”) to develop and power its Mobile Money Enablement strategy and roadmap, including marketing and customer onboarding strategies for its B2B Fintech model. We have revised our previous revenue forecast and expect transactional revenues to commence as the result of a commercial relationship with Tata in our 4 ^th fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017.

In September 2016, Mobetize entered into a partnership agreement with G&F Financial Group (“G&F”), one of the ten largest credit unions in British Columbia; to jointly develop and market “Mobetize smartLoan” a digitized lending platform. Testing and roll out of the live production smartLoan platform is expected to commence in Q1, 2017. We anticipate the product roadmap with G&F to expand with the application of other Mobetize products and services.

Mobetize is currently in discussions with financial institutions in Canada and the United States to expand the smartLoan platform to more prospective users.
