PERTH, AUSTRALIA 6 SEPTEMBER 2017: Peppermint Innovation Ltd ( ASX: PIL ) (the Company or Peppermint) is pleased to announce that an important agreement has been signed with Sante Barley, one of the fastest growing distribution networks in the Philippines. Sante Barley’s current registered distribution network is 200,000 strong across the Philippines with international expansion plans currently underway.
This network of direct members, business partners and business branches will receive, and exclusively use, Peppermint’s proprietary Non-Bank Mobile Payments and Remittance Platform to offer their established, and growing, customer base financial services via a mobile phone App.
Subject to the necessary regulatory approvals, Peppermint will provide our Non-Bank platform white label via a mobile App to the Sante Barley distribution network, who in turn can offer their established customer base secure and convenient financial services without the need for them to attend a bricks and mortar interface. Additionally the large unbanked Filipino population will be able to access pay bill, eLoad and, in the future, money transfer services via the Sante Barley network operating the branded Sante Barley mobile App powered by Peppermint.
Peppermint’s purpose built Non-Bank Mobile Payment and Remittance platform is an initiative which provides innovative technology to the large percentage (some 70%) of the Filipino population who are unbanked and supports the Philippines’ National Strategy on Financial Inclusion (NSFI).
Chris Kain, Managing Director & CEO comments: “We’re extremely excited to be partnering with Sante Barley, one of the fastest growing, and progressive, distribution networks in the Philippines. This agreement represents a great opportunity for our Company to significantly bolster the position with our partners in the Philippines as the provider of choice for mobile financial services to the Non-Bank sector. It is a huge boost on the path to full scale commercial adoption of our purpose built Non-Bank Mobile Payments and Remittance platform.”
