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

Peak Fintech Group (@PEAK_Fintech) | Twitter
  • 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.

Whereas BTPR tells these stories from the side of small cap public companies, Beyond The Expert (BTE) tells these stories from the perspective of experts on these topics – and we couldn’t think of anyone better to start off this series than Leigh Hughes.

Leigh is a Venture Capitalist who I’ve personally watched conduct incredible due diligence and invest into many small cap companies that have generated incredible returns over 12-18 month periods.  

Leigh is so good at what he does that many global private equity funds and institutions take his call and often follow him into investments he chooses to make.  Moreover, he serves as an advisor to several small cap companies.

If you ever wanted to truly learn how to become a great small cap investor, it doesn’t get much better than this.

On today’s episode we discuss the outlook for esports, why it is so explosive and a few small cap esports companies to consider including:

  • Esports Entertainment Group (GMBL:NASDAQ)
  • FansUnite Entertainment (FANS:CSE / FUNFF:OTCQB)
  • TGS Esports (TGS:TSXV)
