TORONTO, ON / October 20, 2020 / KABN Systems NA Holdings Corp. (CSE:KABN) (the “Company” or “KABN North America“), a Canadian Fintech company that specializes in continuous online identity verification, management and monetization in Canada and the U.S., is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with BOON Rewards Inc. (www.getboon.com) (“BOON”) to provide its online KABN KASH cashback and loyalty rewards program (www.kabnkash.com) on a white label basis for BOON’s growing list of card linked program clients in the financial services, insurance and real estate sectors. Currently, BOON’s clients reach over 11.5 million Canadians.

BOON’s Card Linking platform utilizes VISA & MasterCard Verified Point of Sale transaction protocols to create Partner Powered Rewards Programs. BOON combines seamless card linked offers and the buying power of large groups to deliver deeper, actionable intelligence for merchants as well as richer rewards for consumers. Working with KABN KASH, BOON can additionally enable these consumers to receive cashback for online shopping at hundreds of major online retailers. This creates additional value for their consumers, clients, BOON, and KABN North America.

BOON and KABN KASH have been working on this project for several months and are pleased to report that it has already started integration and testing programs are set to begin pilot rollout during this quarter.

“BOON is excited to partner with KABN North America and its white label KABN KASH program to provide our clients’ customers with enhanced value while building brand loyalty,” said Simon Goldstein, Founder – BOON Rewards Inc.

According to Dosh and The Center for Generational Kinetics in their report, Gen Z and Millennials as Customers and Trend Driver, published April 2020, they found the following:

  • Digital cashback rewards can be used to not only influence new buying behaviors, but they can also solidify existing consumer bases.
  • Millennials are the most excited about using cashback app offers and are more likely than any other generation to shop at a store that instantly gives cashback through an app instead of shopping at their regular store.
  • Instant cashback apps are top-of-mind in today’s digital marketplace. Most Americans (70%) are willing to download an instant cashback app. Among Millennials, that willingness jumps to 75%.
  • Two thirds of Millennials are likely to download an instant cashback app just to see which retailers participate and how much they can save and as such, are the most likely generation to have, use and download an instant cashback app.
  • Cashback offers also increase online sales. 74% of Gen Z and 70% of Millennials spend more money online if they know they will instantly receive 5% cash back.

“BOON is the ideal partner for our KABN KASH white label program as their roster of clients includes some of the most well-known consumer facing brands in Canada,” said Michael Konikoff, CRO – KABN North America. “The initiative with BOON proves that through our white label KABN KASH program, we can empower brands, in addition to our own, to provide value to consumers and be a meaningful part of that value and revenue generation equation,”

Toronto, Ontario–(August 12, 2019) – KABN Systems North America Inc. (“KABN”), a Fintech solutions company, specializing in next-generation, patent pending, transportable online identity verification as well as financial and loyalty related services, has entered into an initial agreement to partner with XTM Inc. (“XTM”), a Toronto based Fintech Company and global card issuer, payment specialist, and marketing solutions company. The partners will launch the Pegasus Flyte Prepaid Card to the Canadian market, allowing consumers to spend traditional and digital currencies at both brick and mortar and online merchants as easily as cash.

KABN provides state of the art, Always On identity verification and validation services at no charge to consumers, allowing them to prove their identity continuously without the hassle of verifying time and time again to a growing list of online service providers, programs and Exchanges.

For merchants, service providers, Exchanges, digital banks and other online programs, KABN provides its proprietary world class KYC (know your customer), KYB (know your business) and AML (anti-money laundering) services through its fully compliant GDPR (European General Data Protection Regulation) platform, via a proprietary value-based proposition, subsidizing the traditional costs of onboarding users.

Powered through the XTM Payment Platform, the Pegasus Flyte Prepaid Card program, expected to launch in Q4 2019, will enable Canadians to spend traditional fiat and digital currencies from approved financial institutions, Exchanges, wallets and loyalty programs anywhere that current prepaid services are accepted. Cardholders will have a mobile app and a host of value-based services available to them similar to traditional banking programs.

“XTM is thrilled to have been selected to support KABN. This company is an innovator and disrupter in the Fintech space, exactly our target-partner,” said Marilyn Schaffer, XTM CEO. “With our robust platform features we plan to propel KABN’s Pegasus Flyte program to new heights in prepaid.”

In June 2016, the Canadian Prepaid Providers Organization released the first-ever benchmark study conducted by Mercator Advisory Group entitled, Canadian Open-Loop Prepaid Market: 2015, that revealed that the open-loop prepaid card market reach $3.1 Billion CDN in total dollars loaded onto cards in Canada.

Additionally, in 2017 the CCPO released the report How Canadians Pay Today and it revealed that 13% of those surveyed are using their bank account less and prepaid cards in Canada have the highest level of growth and satisfaction amongst payment tools with a 95% satisfaction rate with reloadable prepaid cards.

“We are very excited to be rolling out our Pegasus Flyte card program in North America,” said Ben Kessler, Global CEO KABN. “We looked for a partner who not only could get us to market quickly but who could also do it effectively, and efficiently without missing a step. XTM is that partner for KABN.”

The KABN and Pegasus Flyte programs focus primarily on the growing Gen Z, Millennial and late Gen X demographic who are consistently exploring new and innovative ways, outside of traditional banking, to manage both their financial services, loyalty, points and other digital currency transactions.

Pegasus Flyte cardholders will automatically be entitled to participate in KABN KASH, a customized consumer experience where users can save money every time they shop at key merchants.

KABN will be showcasing its solutions, as well as providing a keynote address at The Futurist Conference (www.futurist19.com) in Toronto on August 13th and 14th.
