  • Engaged international investor relations specialists MZ Group (MZ) to lead a comprehensive strategic investor relations and financial communications program across all key markets.
  • MZ Group will work closely with Peak management to develop and implement a comprehensive capital markets strategy designed to increase the Company’s visibility throughout the investment community ahead of Peak’s anticipated listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market and thereafter.

Montreal, Quebec–(March 26, 2021) – Peak Fintech Group Inc. (CSE: PKK) (OTCQX: PKKFF) (“Peak” or the “Company”), an innovative Fintech service provider to the Chinese commercial lending sector, has engaged international investor relations specialists MZ Group (MZ) to lead a comprehensive strategic investor relations and financial communications program across all key markets.

MZ Group will work closely with Peak management to develop and implement a comprehensive capital markets strategy designed to increase the Company’s visibility throughout the investment community ahead of Peak’s anticipated listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market and thereafter. The campaign will highlight how Peak is leveraging the Cubeler Lending Hub platform in China to automate the commercial lending process as well as how Peak plans to deploy the Lending Hub ecosystem concept in North America by the end of 2021. Powered by an analytics and artificial intelligence platform, the Cubeler Lending Hub is a nation-wide ecosystem that brings together lenders, borrowers and other participants in the commercial lending space to conduct lending and credit transactions rapidly, efficiently and with the utmost transparency.

MZ has developed a distinguished reputation as a premier resource for institutional investors, brokers, analysts and private investors. Mark Schwalenberg, CFA, Director at MZ North America, will advise Peak in all facets of corporate and financial communications, including the coordination of roadshows and investment conferences across key cities, as well as building brand awareness with financial and social media outlets.

Ted Haberfield, Chairman & President of MZ Group North America, commented: “Peak’s innovative ecosystem provides access to all data on small businesses that would be required by any lender to qualify the business for credit, including from their accounting software and bank statements. Leveraging artificial intelligence to analyze lending criteria allows Peak to match small businesses with multiple lending institutions, and therefore, increase the likelihood of funding while also minimizing risk for lenders by providing pre-qualified leads. The Company has seen wide adoption of its platform in China, and we look forward to sharing Peak’s solid position and aggressive expansion plan with our wide network of institutional investors and family offices.”

“2021 is an important inflection point for Peak, as we focus on executing our development roadmap over the coming year and prepare for an eventual Nasdaq listing,” said Johnson Joseph, President and CEO of Peak Fintech Group. “We look forward to working with Mark and the entire team at MZ Group to communicate with and introduce the Company to a whole new audience who may not yet be familiar with Peak as we continue to build long-term value for our shareholders,” concluded Johnson.

The agreement is for a term of twelve (12) months with a review after six (6) months. As compensation for the services provided, MZ Group will receive a monthly fee of US$10,000 and options to purchase 110,000 common shares of Peak. The options will have an exercise price of $2.75 CAD and will expire five (5) years from the date of their issuance.

Peak $PKK.ca $PKKFF to Implement Digital Contract Signing Capabilities on Its Platforms through Partnership with Qiyuesuo “Contract Lock”$MOS.ca $MOGO.ca CTZ.ca $TRAD.ca

  • Announced that is has signed an agreement with Qiyuesuo, China’s leading digital document signing service provider, that will allow members of its Lending Hub ecosystem to digitally sign legally binding agreements with one another
  • Qiyuesuo (https://www.qiyuesuo.com/) or “Contract Lock” is used by some of China’s most prominent web platforms including search engine giant Baidu and Ant Financial

Montreal, Quebec–(March 9, 2021) – Peak Fintech Group Inc. (CSE: PKK) (OTCQX: PKKFF) (“Peak” or the “Company”), an innovative Fintech service provider to the Chinese commercial lending sector, today announced that is has signed an agreement with Qiyuesuo, China’s leading digital document signing service provider, that will allow members of its Lending Hub ecosystem to digitally sign legally binding agreements with one another.

Ever since its re-launch late in the third quarter of 2020, Peak’s Gold River platform has seen an increasing amount of activity. The platform has become particularly popular with supply-chain businesses, from restaurants and retailers to factories and raw material suppliers, serving as a gateway to the Lending Hub where orders they place through Gold River can qualify for financing from the Hub’s financial institution partners. In some cases, the purchase orders are tied to contracts, which until now had to be executed offline or outside of the Gold River/Lending Hub ecosystem between the clients and suppliers. Given that contracts must bear a corporate seal in order to be legally binding in China, physical distance alone can sometimes make it difficult to do business. Case in point: Peak announced the arrival of China’s 2nd largest steel supplier, Xingcheng Special Steel Works Ltd. (“XSSW”) to its ecosystem in December 2020 but XSSW’s need for legally binding contracts has thus far limited its activity on the Gold River and Lending Hub. The announced partnership aims to remove that barrier to allow businesses typically involved in large value transactions to freely transact with one another within the Hub.

Qiyuesuo (https://www.qiyuesuo.com/) or “Contract Lock” is used by some of China’s most prominent web platforms including search engine giant Baidu and Ant Financial. Any contract signed with Contract Lock has an independent and complete digital audit record, in line with judicial evidence collection records, complies with the “Contract Law of the People’s Republic of China”, “The Electronic Commerce Law of the People’s Republic of China”, “The Electronic Signature Law of the People’s Republic of China” and has the same legal effect as a legally binding paper contract.

“Companies like Qiyuesuo are helping to revolutionize the way business is done in China, contributing to helping move the country to a more digital society and better automated processes, which is in line with Peak’s service offering,” commented Liang Qiu CEO of Peak China. “Giving raw material suppliers such as steel suppliers or petroleum based product suppliers, who typically deal with average orders worth several million dollars, the ability to enter into legally binding contracts on our platforms opens a whole new world of possibilities for us. This should have a significant impact on the value of the average size of transactions that take place throughout our ecosystem. With the integration of Contract Lock combined with everything else that our ecosystem already offers, including the upcoming implementation of our payment processing and fund transfer services, we’re truly on the verge of building an all-encompassing B2B ecosystem promoting transaction efficiency predicated on data, analytics and AI.”

Peak $PKK.ca $PKKFF Provides Updates on Implementation of Fund Transfer Services and Cash Position from Exercise of Warrants $MOS.ca $MOGO.ca CTZ.ca $TRAD.ca

  • Reached an important step in the implementation of payment processing and fund transfer services on its Cubeler Lending Hub platform.
  • Peak remains on track to launch the payment processing and fund transfer services on Lending Hub in the second quarter of 2021.
  • Through the first two months of 2021, Peak received a total of $2,665,577 in cash as a result of the exercise of warrants, including a combined $500,000 from Peak’s CEO, CFO and China CEO

Montreal, Quebec–(March 4, 2021) –  Peak Fintech Group Inc. (CSE: PKK) (OTCQX: PKKFF) (“Peak” or the “Company”), an innovative Fintech service provider to the Chinese commercial lending sector, today announced that it has reached an important step in the implementation of payment processing and fund transfer services on its Cubeler Lending Hub platform.

Peak announced earlier this year that it had signed an agreement with China UnionPay subsidiary, Rongbang Technology Ltd. (“Rongbang”) that will allow it to process payments, settle transactions and transfer funds between lending institutions, banks and the businesses that are part of its Lending Hub ecosystem. After holding several working sessions with Rongbang’s service implementation team, the Company has now completed the setup of the test environment where virtual replications of both the Lending Hub platform and the China UnionPay network will co-exist from this point forward. Setting up the test environment was identified as one of the key milestones for the Company leading up to the launch of services. Peak is now in position to simulate transactions, test and study the results, and, if need be, make the necessary adjustments in its development environment, all of which will lead to a better understanding of the UnionPay network prior to the services going live. Peak remains on track to launch the payment processing and fund transfer services on Lending Hub in the second quarter of 2021.

Cash Position Resulting from Exercise of Warrants:

Peak’s market performance over the past few months has placed virtually all of the Company’s issued and outstanding convertible securities “in the money”. That has triggered a regular and consistent exercise of Peak warrants since about the half-way point of the fourth quarter of 2020, and continued in 2021. Through the first two months of 2021, Peak received a total of $2,665,577 in cash as a result of the exercise of warrants, including a combined $500,000 from Peak’s CEO, CFO and China CEO. This puts the Company’s cash balance at more than $7.8M as of February 28, 2021.

Montreal, Quebec–(December 20, 2020) – Peak Fintech Group Inc. (CSE: PKK) (OTCQX: PKKFF) (“Peak” or the “Company”), an innovative Fintech service provider to the Chinese commercial lending sector, today announced the launch of its new website and of a 12-month online marketing campaign through AGORACOM for the purposes of engaging with current and future shareholders.

Peak $PKK.ca $PKKFF Provides Corporate Update on Recent Events and Operations $MOS.ca $MOGO.ca CTZ.ca $TRAD.ca $IDK.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:44 AM on Tuesday, December 15th, 2020
Peak Fintech Group (@PEAK_Fintech) | Twitter

Montreal, Quebec–(December 15, 2020) – Peak Fintech Group Inc. (CSE: PKK) (OTCQX: PKKFF) (“Peak” or the “Company”), an innovative Fintech service provider to the Chinese commercial lending sector, today provided the following update on its operations and recent events that have occurred since the end of the Company’s third quarter of 2020.

JIANGYIN FINANCIAL CENTRE

Summary and Update:

The Jiangyin Financial Centre is an initiative of the city’s municipal government. The city invited its 200,000+ businesses to join the Financial Centre to qualify for loans and credit from 34 banks and lending institutions based on data analysis and AI-based credit rules powered by the Lending Hub. Since its launch in late September, the Financial Centre has been responsible for almost 100 transactions and has brought more than 3,000 SMEs and several new raw material suppliers to the Lending Hub, including China’s 2nd largest supplier of specialized steel products.

Relevance and Connection to Cubeler Lending Hub Ecosystem:

Peak is building its Cubeler Lending Hub ecosystem as a nation-wide commercial lending ecosystem. The Jiangyin Financial Centre can be seen as a smaller all-encompassing version of the nation-wide ecosystem that will be replicated in other cities and provide Peak with an effective way to accelerate the expansion of the Lending Hub.

Main Benefits to Peak:

  • Government endorsement
  • Rapid service expansion with increased transaction volumes
  • Addition of new banks, lenders and businesses
  • Template for replication to other cities

GOLD RIVER PLATFORM

Summary and Update:

The Gold River platform is a multi-faceted e-commerce platform that allows clients to purchase products, sell products, manage inventory, make financing requests, organize group purchases and perform a number of other tasks related to supply-chain transactions from the perspective of a supplier or a retailer. By the end of the third quarter, Peak began re-directing some transactions related to its supply-chain financing services, previously outsourced to a third-party, to Gold River. Since then, the platform has continued to be involved in an increasing number of supply-chain financing transactions and has played a pivotal role in helping Peak sign two important agreements with national wholesale distributors.

Relevance and Connection to Cubeler Lending Hub Ecosystem:

The platform used to operate independently of the Lending Hub but is now fully integrated as a key component of the ecosystem and serves as the gateway to the Lending Hub and the main interface through which Peak’s product distribution partners interact with the ecosystem.

Main Benefits to Peak:

  • Gateway to Lending Hub ecosystem for distribution partners
  • Versatility to service raw material suppliers, wholesalers and retailers
  • Ability to provide supply-chain financing related services previously outsourced by Peak

AGREEMENT WITH CONSUMER ELECTRONICS DISTRIBUTOR BEIJING DIANJING COMPANY LTD.

Summary and Update:

Under the terms of this agreement between Peak and Beijing Dianjing Company Ltd. (“BDC”), BDC’s 60,000 online retailers are eligible to get up to 90% of the value of the products they purchase from BDC financed by the Lending Hub’s participating banks and lending institutions. Since the signing of the agreement at the end of October, Peak was able to complete the data sharing interface between BDC’s systems and Peak’s Gold River platform, which is used as the interaction gateway between BDC and the Lending Hub ecosystem. A handful of closely-monitored and controlled transactions were also conducted, which are expected to continue before a planned large-scale deployment of the program in January 2021.

Relevance and Connection to Cubeler Lending Hub Ecosystem:

SMEs are the most important members of the Cubeler Lending Hub ecosystem. Without them, their data and their need for funding there would be no lenders, no ecosystem and no revenue for Peak. Considering that through June 2020, the Lending Hub had less than 25,000 business members, and yet Peak is on pace to exceed CAD$40M in revenue for the year, the potential of adding 60,000 new businesses to the Lending Hub with a single agreement is transformative for the Company in so many ways.

Main Benefits to Peak:

  • Rapid addition of thousands of businesses to Lending Hub
  • Exceptional annual revenue potential
  • Entry into online retail vertical
  • Template for replication with other distributors

AGREEMENT WITH PACKAGED FOODS DISTRIBUTOR BEIJING JINGYING MANAGEMENT LTD.

Summary and Update:

Similar to its agreement with BDC, Peak’s agreement with packaged foods distributor Beijing Jingying Management Ltd. (“BJM”) allows for BJM’s 250,000+ retail clients to get up to 90% of the value of the products they purchase from BJM financed by the Lending Hub’s participating banks and lending institutions. Peak and BJM are still working on a roll-out plan with the first transactions expected to come by the end of 2020.

Relevance and Connection to Cubeler Lending Hub Ecosystem:

With over 250,000 online and offline combined retailers potentially being added to the Lending Hub ecosystem from a single agreement, the BJM agreement is expected to have the biggest impact to date on the ecosystem. The signing of the agreement also validates Peak’s theory that its agreement with consumer products distributor BDC would serve as a template for agreements with other distributors.

Main Benefits to Peak:

  • Rapid addition of thousands of businesses to Lending Hub
  • Exceptional annual revenue potential

AGREEMENT WITH ITALIAN RETAILER GRUPPO COIN AND NETWORK OF SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCERS

Summary and Update:

Peak identified a financing need from social media influencers who have become a powerful sales force in the retail space in China and sought to fill that need. Peak signed an agreement with Italian retailer Gruppo Coin to provide short-term loans to social medial influencers who organize product showcase events broadcasted on social media platforms such as TikTok to sell the retailer’s products. This agreement with Gruppo Coin is merely a by-product of the relationship that Peak was able to establish with over 55,000 social media influencers with a combined 120M+ followers, which the Company expects to leverage to generate a new revenue stream by helping retailers all over the world sell to Chinese consumers. The first transactions under the Gruppo Coin agreement are pending and expected to happen shortly.

Relevance and Connection to Cubeler Lending Hub Ecosystem:

Many of the social media influencers operate as small businesses on TikTok and WeChat, which means they can and in fact must become members to the Lending Hub and give access to their business data to the platform in order to be eligible for loans and credit. Through its connection with certain social media influencers, Peak has been working on an interface that will allow sales and business related data to flow from TikTok, WeChat and other social media platforms to the Cubeler Lending Hub.

Main Benefits to Peak:

  • Access to powerful network of social media influencers
  • Provide entryway to Chinese retail market for North American and global retailers
  • Creation of potential new revenue stream

ACQUISITION OF BANKING AI SOFTWARE COMPANY ZHONGKE SOFTWARE INTELLIGENCE LTD.

Summary and Update:

Peak announced that it would be acquiring banking AI software company Zhongke Software Intelligence Ltd. (“Zhongke”). Zhongke develops analytics and AI software used by banks and financial institutions in China to make decisions on loan and credit applications, as well as to process and to manage the applications. The company owns 3 patents, 42 copyrights and 3 trademarks. Peak and Zhongke are in the process of completing their due diligence prior to finalizing the transaction.

Relevance and Connection to Cubeler Lending Hub Ecosystem:

Whereas Lending Hub gathers and analyzes data on small business loan candidates from various sources and applies the banks’ credit rules to the data to help them determine who to lend to and who not to lend to, Zhongke’s software actually creates those credit rules, the logic that governs them and the AI capabilities to continuously improve them. So Zhongke’s software picks up where the Lending Hub platform leaves the credit analysis process for banks and lenders, which makes the applications near perfect complements of one another.

Main Benefits to Peak:

  • Strengthens Peak’s IP portfolio
  • Makes Lending Hub offering even more compelling to banks and lenders
  • Complements Lending Hub data set for improved AI functions, risk analysis and other uses

IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW CHINESE DIGITAL CURRENCY ON GOLD RIVER AND LENDING HUB PLATFORMS

Summary and Update:

Peak’s Gold River and Cubeler Lending Hub platforms are now ready to support China’s new Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DC/EP), making them among the first to provide clients with the ability to conduct DC/EP transactions. The first DC/EP transactions on Lending Hub and Gold River are expected by the end of 2020.

Relevance and Connection to Cubeler Lending Hub Ecosystem:

By being able to conduct DC/EP transactions, Lending Hub clients are expected to benefit from lower interest rates for loans and credit facilitated through the platform, which should drive greater demand for Peak’s services.

Main Benefits to Peak:

  • First mover advantage and marketing leverage
  • Potential increase demand for services

  • Announced that its Gold River and Cubeler Lending Hub platforms are now ready to support China’s new Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DC/EP).
  • Unlike cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, China’s DC/EP is legal tender, it’s backed by yuan deposits, centralized and not anonymous.
  • It is managed by China’s Central Bank, which requires the country’s banks to convert a part of their yuan holdings into DC/EP form and distribute them to businesses and citizens via mobile technology.
  • The DC/EP took over five years to develop and is expected to help bring China’s unbanked population into the mainstream economy and accelerate the country’s move to a cashless society.

Montreal, Quebec–(December 11, 2020) –  Peak Fintech Group Inc. (CSE: PKK) (OTCQX: PKKFF) (“Peak” or the “Company”), an innovative Fintech service provider to the Chinese commercial lending sector, today announced that its Gold River and Cubeler Lending Hub platforms are now ready to support China’s new Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DC/EP).

Unlike cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, China’s DC/EP is legal tender, it’s backed by yuan deposits, centralized and not anonymous. It is managed by China’s Central Bank, which requires the country’s banks to convert a part of their yuan holdings into DC/EP form and distribute them to businesses and citizens via mobile technology. The DC/EP took over five years to develop and is expected to help bring China’s unbanked population into the mainstream economy and accelerate the country’s move to a cashless society.

Peak began preparing its platforms for the DC/EP last month with the hiring of former People’s Bank of China senior manager, Mr. Wenjun Wu, as a special advisor to assist the Company in that capacity. Through Mr. Wu’s expertise in the matter and his relationship with the Postal Savings Bank of China (http://www.psbc.com/en/), one of a select few banks with the DC/EP API, Peak’s platforms are now among the first to provide clients with the ability to conduct DC/EP transactions. In addition to its inherent security features, the DC/EP offers several benefits to businesses and financial institutions alike. For instance, loans and credit transactions conducted in DC/EP will on average carry lower interest rates than similar transactions conducted in regular yuan and transactions will be settled instantly, all of which are expected to make DC/EP transactions the preferred way of conducting business in China, and a way to increase transaction volume on Peak’s platforms. The Company plans to run a pilot project beginning later this month with a few supply-chain financing related transactions before making the feature available to all Gold River and Lending Hub clients.

Peak’s DC/EP pilot project will coincide with the arrival of Xingcheng Special Steel Works Ltd. (“XSSW”) (https://xctg.citicsteel.com/) to the Cubeler Lending Hub Ecosystem. XSSW is a subsidiary of conglomerate CITIC Ltd. (https://www.citic.com/en/). It’s the 2nd largest supplier of specialized steel products in China servicing a variety of industries and manufacturers with products such as bearings, alloy steel wires, plates, rods and springs that go into the making of numerous products. Peak and XSSW were connected through the Jiangyin Financial Centre following a series of financing requests from Jiangyin manufacturers to purchase material from XSSW. By officially adding XSSW to Lending Hub’s list of approved suppliers and working in partnership with XSSW, Peak will now be able to offer its supply-chain financing services to all XSSW clients through joint marketing initiatives.

Wall Street Reporter’s NEXT SUPER STOCK Livestream – December 15, 2020

  • First supply-chain financing related services, previously outsourced, provided through Gold River 2.0 platform

Third Quarter Financial and Operating Results Summary

“As we expected, the demand for our services, particularly as it pertains to the supply-chain, reached a new level in the third quarter, but we’re still very much in the early stages of our client acquisition plan in that vertical,” commented Peak Group CEO, Johnson Joseph. “The vast majority of our supply-chain financing business is still financing purchase orders placed with a few raw material suppliers by 200 or so manufacturers. The objective is to work our way down the transactional supply-chain where we can finance purchase orders placed with thousands of manufacturers and distributors by tens of thousands of retailers, and we began to see some of those transactions in the latter part of the quarter”.

“The financing services related to transactions between material suppliers and manufacturers that took place in Q3 were bundled with logistics services. We outsourced those services because we didn’t have the software system through which the purchase orders could be placed and some of the logistics services provided. But that’s in the process of changing. We spent the better part of a year making adjustments to Gold River to be able to provide those services ourselves, which should dramatically reduce our outsourcing expenses,” concluded Mr. Joseph.

The continued geographic expansion of Peak’s services certainly played a role in the increase in the quarterly revenue, but it’s really the demand from the supply-chain vertical itself, mostly in the cities where the financing services were already being provided, that has had the biggest impact on the revenue growth.

The revenue trajectory on which the Company now finds itself, combined with the impact that the re-emergence of its Gold River platform is expected to have on future outsourcing expenses, bolstered the Company’s 2021 profit repatriation plans. Peak therefore engaged with consultants and advisors during the quarter to begin implementing the mechanisms prescribed by the Chinese government for foreign companies to repatriate profits from their Chinese subsidiaries. Other than the aforementioned outsourcing expenses, fees paid out to consultants and advisors represented the biggest expenses for the Company in Q3.

In summary, the Company generated revenue of $15,116,369 for the three-month period and $26,329,268 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, compared to $4,499,953 for the three-month period and $7,351,186 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

Total expenses before taxes for the quarter amounted to $15,505,739, compared to $4,998,367 for the same period in 2019. The net (after tax) loss for Q3 was $512,874 compared to $777,316 for the same period of 2019.
