Razer Merchant Services (RMS)

In the Company’s June Quarterly Report and Business Activity Update announced 29[th] July 2021, it reported that testing of integration between RMS and IOUpay systems was expected to be completed by early August. Due to the ongoing impacts of continued level 4 lockdown conditions in Malaysia, the timetable for testing has been extended with completion now expected by early September. As previously announced, once testing is completed, a pilot group of merchants will go live with full implementation to be activated on a timetable to be agreed with RMS.

Digital Marketing Strategy (“DMS”) Launched

The Company has implemented a sophisticated digital marketing strategy that targets key cultural demographic groups throughout Malaysia. A portfolio of social media influencers has been developed with fourteen selected individual influencers who have significant followings and alignment with the Company’s brand values to drive awareness in and engagement with the myIOU service offering.

The portfolio of influencers is being actively managed with data analysis used to measure performance and for the purposes of shaping campaign initiatives. Social media influencer campaign content is being deployed across a variety of platforms and channels targeting specific communities of consumers and merchants that the Company believes will benefit from and engage most with its myIOU BNPL services.

The Company’s portfolio of social media influencers and Yuna provide an aggregate reach in excess of 10 million followers (based upon number of followers for each channel for each influencer). Since 1[st] August, the Company’s influencers have been engaging with Malaysian consumers and merchants with unique, localised and engaging content and myIOU awareness campaigns.

Brand Ambassador and “Face of myIOU” Announced for Launch of DMS

The Company announces and is making press and media releases in Malaysia and Australia, the signing of award-winning international singer-songwriter, Yuna, as the ‘ Face of myIOU ’.

This announcement marks a significant achievement for the Company as it rolls out a sophisticated, targeted digital marketing strategy across Malaysia, where the myIOU BNPL service has been launched.

With over a million followers on social media, Yuna has previously worked with major brands including Malaysia Airlines. Her wide reach and connection to her followers across the South East Asia region will support the Company’s objectives to grow its user base and connection with local businesses and consumers.

Through this partnership, Yuna will be representing the brand as an opinion leader of myIOU through campaigns and promotional activities across online and offline media platforms.

The release of this announcement was authorised by the Board of the Company and released by the Company Secretary.

Yours faithfully,

IOUpay Limited
