  • UnionBank to increase account holders registered on the UMobile mobile banking platform deployed with the Bank by Peppermint.
  • Ramp up from 50,000 to 2,500,000 registered users on UMobile.
  • Significant increase expected in monthly transactions across the platform.

PERTH, AUSTRALIA, 30 JUNE 2016: Peppermint Innovation Limited (ASX: PIL) is pleased to advise UnionBank of the Philippines ("UnionBank"), which uses Peppermint's platform to offer mobile banking services to its account holders via the UMobile application, has proposed to significantly increase registered users across this platform.

UnionBank confirmed that it is intending to register a further 2.5 million account holders on UMobile application starting in July, under the batch enrolment feature of the app.

Currently, there are 50,000 accountholders registered on the UMobile platform performing more than 500,000 transactions per month.

Peppermint provides the UMobile platform as a white label mobile banking application to UnionBank. The platform is made available to account holders via the App Store and Google Play.

Peppermint Innovation Limited CEO, Mr Chris Kain, said:

"This initiative by UnionBank will lead to a significant increase in transactions across the UMobile platform and in terms of the rewards to Peppermint from this partnership."

"We look forward to extending the strong relationship we have with UnionBank and to the increased use of the platform from current levels and the 50,000 registered users they have now. Once all proposed additional account holders are registered with UMobile it would represent a factor increase of 50 times from the number of current registered users."

We appreciate the efforts of UnionBank's Senior Vice President Mr. Paolo Eugenio J. Baltao (heading UnionBank's Digital Transformation Group) as a keen advocate of the convenience and services offered by UMobile and appreciate the Bank's efforts to deliver mobile banking service such as balance inquiry, fund transfers, bill payments, buy load covering all UnionBank transactions to customers."
