ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
13 June 2018
Company Update
On 12 March 2018, Ookami Limited (ASX: OOK) (“ OOK ” or the “ Company ”) announced that it had entered into a strategic collaboration and development agreement with the National Currency eXchange (“ NCX ”) under which the parties will collaborate and share the intellectual property of their respective technologies, with a view to developing a “preferred” client model allowing members to seamlessly utilise technology and product offerings within the Ookami ecosystem.
Ookami is pleased to update its shareholders that the software architecture and business analysis scoping exercise for a Payment Gateway conducted with NCX has completed. During the scoping, a third-party Payment Gateway solution was identified as a more feasible and robust alternative to developing the system internally and can provide the same seamless integration of the Payment Gateway solution within the Ookami ecosystem. On this basis, the parties have agreed not to proceed with an “in-house” build of the Payment Gateway solution, which is expected to allow for a more cost effective and rapid roll out of the Payment Gateway. As a result, the parties have agreed to cancel the proposed issue of 5,000,000 OOK shares to NCX on completion of the Payment Gateway. All other aspects of the agreement with NCX remain in place and ongoing to implement the various requirements of the shared verification functionality and preferred client model within the Akela-Brontech-NCX ecosystem.
Ookami is pleased to announce that it is in final discussions with Paid By Coins (www.paidbycoins.com) to provide and implement its secure cryptocurrency to BPAY/Bank account technologies as the Payment Gateway solution for Ookami’s ecosystem.
Ookami has also entered into a formal agreement with Brontech to integrate its personal identity technology and solutions. This will be implemented via Brontech’s BronID API allowing clients such as Akela and NCX (and others) to onboard users in a seamless manner by instantaneously extracting their identity information and verifying this information across different data sources for KYC/AML purposes. Once users onboard any platform (e.g. Akela), they can reuse the same verified credentials for other partner platforms (e.g. NCX). Additionally, the usage of the BronID API for identity verification will also overcome the compatibility issues in regards to identity verification requirements for compliance purposes between the different participants in the ecosystem. This is expected to strengthen the relationship between all the stakeholders in the Ookami’s ecosystem and further accelerate the growth of the ecosystem’s verified user base. Brontech’s platform is governed by the Australian Privacy Policy principles in compliance with the Privacy Act 1998 and the upcoming changes regarding data portability, as well as newly adopted local and global legislation changes regarding consumer privacy and data ownership such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe as well as the upcoming Consumer Data Right and Open banking legislation changes in Australia. Both companies’ development teams are underway on the project and completion of the integration is anticipated to be in August 2018.
