  • Announced that its cloud-based biometric solutions will now be available on its digital identity management platform, Liquid Avatar (www.liquidavatar.com) enabling a further layer of identity verification that is independent of a user’s device
  • As a cloud-based service, KABN’s biometric features are not resident on a device and work with a user’s mobile phone, tablet, computer or other camera and Internet enabled devices, to pass verified information securely over the Internet, enabling identity to be transportable and connected to a wide range of applications like Passwords, Digital Wallets and Verified Access and Identity Credentials

TORONTO, ON and GIBRALTAR / December 2, 2020 / The KABN Network together with 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 US, today announces that its cloud-based biometric solutions will now be available on its digital identity management platform, Liquid Avatar (www.liquidavatar.com) enabling a further layer of identity verification that is independent of a user’s device.

“With more traditional services, like healthcare, education, verified purchasing and government services expanding online, we developed Liquid Avatar to allow users to use their verified identity to share what they want, when they want and with whom they want in an easy to use visually-enabled platform,” said David Lucatch, CEO KABN North America. “Our goal is to reduce and, in some cases, eliminate the need to remember passwords or to present physical credentials in an ever expanding digital landscape. We hope to empower users to seamlessly manage their digital lives as easily and effectively as they do conventionally.”

As a cloud-based service, KABN’s biometric features are not resident on a device and work with a user’s mobile phone, tablet, computer or other camera and Internet enabled devices, to pass verified information securely over the Internet, enabling identity to be transportable and connected to a wide range of applications like Passwords, Digital Wallets and Verified Access and Identity Credentials.

With Liquid Avatar’s Self Sovereign Identity management services, a user can manage and customize their credentials through easy to access “icons,” enabling them to store, organize and control their information remotely, increasing potential security and safety in the event that the device is lost, stolen or compromised, and making it easy to share services using their facial recognition or other biometric controls.

Liquid Avatar will work with a wide range of emerging technologies and digital platforms to enable the creation and support of a wide range of services, such as:

Identity Verification Services – Bank Grade Identity and Biometric Verification
Digital Wallet Applications – Crypto and Digital Currencies, Identity, Credentials
Verified Access Credentials – Concerts, Movies, Theme Parks, Senior Living, Sporting and other Venue Events and Facilities
Verified Identity Credentials – Government, Healthcare, eCommerce, Membership, School, Workplace and other

Guardianship Services – In early 2021, Liquid Avatar will enable users to authorize a secondary “guardian” for biometric data access. Ideal for parents that want to protect and authorize certain activities for their children, like education, online gaming, eCommerce and other activities. This service can also be used as a safeguard in cases of emergency allowing an authorized second, biometrically verified person, to access a user’s data.

“In the real world, we recognize and verify each other using personal recognition, and document verification and we believe that Liquid Avatar can potentially duplicate this process in the digital world,” continued Lucatch.

In the coming weeks, the Company is expecting to rollout a number of key initiatives that will support the creation, management and verification of digital wallets and verified access and identity credentials.

Peak $PKK.ca $PKKFF Signs Agreement with Italian Retailer Gruppo Coin to Help Finance Online Sales in China $DELX.ca $MOS.ca $MOGO.ca CTZ.ca $TRAD.ca $IDK.ca

  • Announced that it has signed an agreement with high-end Italian retailer Gruppo Coin (“Coin”) to provide short-term loans to Coin’s social-media-influencer online sales partners.
  • Coin (https://en.coin.it/), Italy’s largest chain of department stores, was one of the first foreign retailers to recognize and leverage the power of social media influencers to sell their products in the world’s largest retail market.
  • Chinese influencers are using popular social media platforms such as TikTok, Sina Weibo and WeChat to revolutionize online retail sales. They create entertaining shows broadcasted on the platforms during which they promote and sell products with which they are associated.
  • A show will typically cost $1,000 to $10,000 to produce, including promoting it to followers, detailing the products and the limited quantities available for the show in order to create a buzz and the FOMO (fear of missing out) factor with their followers

Montreal, Quebec–(December 1, 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 it has signed an agreement with high-end Italian retailer Gruppo Coin (“Coin”) to provide short-term loans to Coin’s social-media-influencer online sales partners.

Coin (https://en.coin.it/), Italy’s largest chain of department stores, was one of the first foreign retailers to recognize and leverage the power of social media influencers to sell their products in the world’s largest retail market. Chinese influencers are using popular social media platforms such as TikTok, Sina Weibo and WeChat to revolutionize online retail sales. They create entertaining shows broadcasted on the platforms during which they promote and sell products with which they are associated.

A show will typically cost $1,000 to $10,000 to produce, including promoting it to followers, detailing the products and the limited quantities available for the show in order to create a buzz and the FOMO (fear of missing out) factor with their followers. On average, each influencer will produce about 250 shows per year. The average show typically lasts 3 to 4 hours and offers a variety of products. Top influencers are usually able to sell out their inventory of a particular product within the first 10 minutes of the product being presented. Many influencers have achieved celebrity status, and this is rapidly becoming the preferred way to sell a variety of products in China, from cosmetics to clothing to small appliances and everything in between. In addition to the cost of producing the shows, the influencers must provide their large retail partners with a deposit of 20% to 30% of the value of the products they expect to sell for each show. This is where Peak and the Cubeler Lending Hub come into the equation. With today’s announced agreement, Coin’s influencer partners will be eligible to have the cost of producing their shows, their required cash deposits and their entire product orders financed through the Lending Hub. Peak will earn its customary ~ 2% fee of the value of the loans provided for facilitating the transactions.

“We’ve been studying this space for months, identifying some of the top influencers and brand ambassadors on China’s top social media platforms,” commented Peak China CEO Liang Qiu. “We now have a network of almost 55,000 influencers, each either with their own e-Shops or affiliated with at least one e-Shop, over 120M combined followers and a proven track record of being able to effectively move products. With a network of followers more than 3 times larger than the entire Canadian population, we believe we’re well positioned to talk to virtually any retailer or brand around the world to offer an effective gateway into the Chinese retail space,” concluded Mr. Qiu.

“One of Peak’s objectives has always been to serve as a bridge that connects North American investors and businesses to China,” said Peak CEO Johnson Joseph. “We’ve been working very hard behind the scenes for quite a while now on a way to help Canadian businesses either do more business in China or gain access to the Chinese market. Although the agreement announced today is not with a Canadian company, it certainly sets the stage for us to sign similar agreements with Canadian retailers. Our network of influencers is already excited about the prospects of selling ice wine and a variety of uniquely Canadian products not typically available in China. By capitalizing on the power of social media, I think we’re once again proving our ability to innovate and think outside the box when it comes to the many ways in which we can use the Lending Hub for the benefit of small businesses and entrepreneurs.”

Peak will be a featured presenter at Wall Street Reporter’s NEXT SUPER STOCK livestream conference on Thursday, December 3, 2020 at 12:30pm EST.

Q3 Financial Highlights:

  • Total revenue of $15,116,369
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $127,976
  • Total assets of $48,687,541

Montreal, Quebec–(November 26, 2020) –   Peak Positioning Technologies Inc. (CSE: PKK) (OTCQX: PKKFF) (“Peak” or the “Company”), an innovative Fintech service provider to the Chinese commercial lending sector, today announced its financial results and operating highlights for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020, highlighted by a record $15.1M revenue for the quarter. All amounts expressed are in Canadian dollars.

Q3 Financial Highlights:

  • Total revenue of $15,116,369
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $127,976
  • Total assets of $48,687,541

Historical Revenue and adjusted EBITDA Summary

 Q3 2020Q2 2020Q1 2020Q4 2019Q3 2019
Revenue$15,116,369$7,263,504$3,949,395$4,357,467$4,499,953

Adjusted EBITDA2$127,976$176,113$172,045$325,375$718,727

1 Expenses do not include interest, taxes, depreciation (including impairment of intangible assets) loss on extinction of debt, gain on bargain purchase and amortization

2 Adjusted EBITDA equals net income (loss) before finance costs, taxes, depreciation, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, loss on extinction of debt, gain on bargain purchase and amortization

Q3 Operating Highlights:

  • New Jinxiaoer Service Centres in Nanjing and Taiyuan
  • Equipment financing program powered by Cubeler Lending Hub in Xi’An
  • Launch of government-backed commercial lending Financial Centre powered by Cubeler Lending Hub in Jiangyin
  • 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.

Full details of the Company’s third quarter 2020 financial results can be found in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, which are available at www.sedar.com.

  • Announced that it has signed an agreement with packaged foods wholesale distributor Beijing Jingying Corporate Management Ltd. to bring Peak’s Cubeler Lending Hub financing solution to BJM and its more than 250,000 retail clients
  • Peak launched a financing program powered by Lending Hub in October specifically designed to provide better cash flow flexibility to large wholesale distributors and their retail clients
  • The program, which recorded its first transactions a week ago, allows for retailers to have up to 90% of the price of the products they purchase from participating distributors financed by the Lending Hub’s banks and lending institution

Montreal, Quebec–(November 19, 2020) – Peak Positioning Technologies 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 signed an agreement with packaged foods wholesale distributor Beijing Jingying Corporate Management Ltd. (“BJM”) to bring Peak’s Cubeler Lending Hub financing solution to BJM and its more than 250,000 retail clients.

Peak launched a financing program powered by Lending Hub in October specifically designed to provide better cash flow flexibility to large wholesale distributors and their retail clients. The program, which recorded its first transactions a week ago, allows for retailers to have up to 90% of the price of the products they purchase from participating distributors financed by the Lending Hub’s banks and lending institutions.

BJM is the second wholesale distributor to subscribe to the program joining consumer electronics product distributor Beijing Dianjing Company Ltd., which helped launch the program with its 60,000 plus online retail clients. BJM is a major distributor of a variety of popular products from China Oil and Foodstuffs Corporation (COFCO), for which it has exclusive distribution rights to approximately 200,000 Petro-China convenience stores and on online retail giant JD.com. COFCO is a state-owner food processing company. It’s China’s largest food processor, manufacturer and commodities trader. With operations in Japan, the US, the UK, Australia and Canada, it’s one of the largest agribusiness groups in all of Asia.

Most recently BJM became an authorized distributor of RELX brand e-cigarettes, one of China’s most popular and fastest growing brands of e-cigarettes, sold at over 3,000 retail outlets throughout the country.

“We are very pleased to be joining this wonderful financing program created by Peak,” commented Mr. Yang Zhang, CEO of BJM. “We have no doubt that this will be extremely beneficial to most of our clients and we very much look forward to getting them signed up as quickly as possible,” he went on to say.

“I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Mr. Zhang and BJM to our new Lending Hub financing program and look forward to working with him and his team,” said Peak Group China CEO, Mr. Liang Qiu. “BJM’s arrival to the program brings us a great mixture of online and offline stores and allows us to further showcase Lending Hub’s versatility when it comes to its ability to help businesses up and down the supply chain whether they operate predominantly online or offline. We’ve noticed somewhat of a blurring of the online and offline retail space lately including JD.com announcing plans for a network of 5 million brick-and-mortar stores in the next 3 years. I think with Lending Hub’s ability to process and analyze data coming from its member businesses both online and offline, Peak is ideally positioned to play an increasingly important role in this blurring or evolution of the retail space,” concluded Mr. Qiu.

How do you connect over 100M small businesses in China who need access to different kinds of credit …. with over 10K banks and lending institutions that have different lending criteria?

Well, if you try to do it the old fashioned way, you just can’t.  SMB’s (small and medium businesses) and Lenders are pretty much forced to deal within local markets which drastically reduces alternatives and business …. and both sides are left with a daunting, slow and inefficient manual workload. 

ENTER PEAK FINTECH

The Peak Fintech Lending Hub uses Artificial Intelligence and analytics to fully automate the process by which lenders and borrowers connect quickly and match perfectly across several market verticals.

When Joseph and Inwentash say this AI-Powered platform is revolutionizing the Chinese SMB commercial lending ecosystem, they’re not just paying lip service … Peak Fintech is delivering results

  • Reported revenue growth of 293% to $11.2 million for the first half of 2020
  • Targeting $40 million in revenues and $4 million in EBITDA for the 2020 year.
  • Platform now has lending products from 54 different banks and lending institutions
  • Signed Agreement To Bring Lending Hub To 60,000 Online Electronics Stores
  • Stores would use Lending HUB to finance purchase of electronics inventory
  • 100% market capture would translate into $1.35B in annual revenues 

Inwentash discusses what attracted him to PKK, what his interest is in the Company and what he sees for the Company’s future.

Joseph also discusses new government regulations in China since the Ant IPO was suspended and whether they would impact PKK, as well as, the Company’s growth outlook for 2021.

VIDEO – $KABN.ca Joins Forces With Some Of World’s Biggest Companies To Help Build The New Model For Internet-Scale Digital Trust $MOS.ca $MOGO.ca $CTZ.ca

When the Facebook data privacy scandal broke out, the world woke up to just how badly our individual data was being traded, used and most importantly, the amount of profit being generated by major corporations at our expense.

This led to the enactment of the biggest data privacy laws in history.  Specifically, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) out of Europe and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

Enter KABN.  The Company Turns The Problem Of Data Privacy Into A Profit For Individuals, While Providing Big Businesses With New & Compliant Business Models.

More than just lip service, KABN announced joining the Trust Over IP Foundation, which includes over 170 members including IBM, Mastercard, Accenture and many other global leaders who are defining a complete architecture for Internet-scale digital trust. As part of this community, KABN is focused on bridging the gap between traditional fintech services and solutions and new and innovative Verified Credential processes. Does that sound like a mouthful?  Yeah, it does.  But all you have to really understand for now is that digital ID, privacy and monetization is going to become a reality in the very near future.  Government regulations are enforcing it.  Consumers are demanding it and KABN is delivering it at such an advanced scale that the Trust Over IP Foundation has provided them with a strategic role as a Steering Member to help drive the following mission:  

“I am certain KABN will make a strong contribution to the Trust over IP Foundation.” said John Jordan, executive director, BC Digital Trust Service and executive director of ToIP. “People and businesses are going to continue using the internet to build relationships and complete transactions digitally with all the risks of security breaches and fraud that go along with it today. It’s time for a change. Global leaders are working together at our Foundation to make it possible for people to be known and to build trusted relationships online. I am happy to have KABN be part of this effort.”

KABN was so ahead of this curve they were actually too early to the game … now the game is underway with KABN sitting in a great field position.
Watch this interview with President David Lucatch and welcome to the next potential great disruptive industry of the decade.

$KABN.ca Network Joins the Trust Over IP Foundation $MOS.ca $MOGO.ca $CTZ.ca

  • Announced a strategic role as a Steering Member of the Trust over IP (“ToIP”) Foundation (www.trustoverip.org).
  • In taking on this role, KABN joins other Steering Members including Accenture, Anonyme Labs, Continuum Loop, Evernym, Finicity, Futurewei, IBM, ID Ramp, LG CNS, Mastercard and others.
  • The Trust over IP Foundation has over 170 members, including organizations as well as individuals, collaborating together with the common objective of changing the way people interact online.

TORONTO, ON and GIBRALTAR / November 12, 2020 / The KABN Network together with KABN Systems NA Holdings Corp. (CSE:KABN) (the “Company” or “KABN North America“) (www.kabnsystemsna.com), a Canadian Fintech company that specializes in continuous online identity verification, management and monetization in Canada and the US, today has announced a strategic role as a Steering Member of the Trust over IP (“ToIP”) Foundation (www.trustoverip.org).

In taking on this role, KABN joins other Steering Members including Accenture, Anonyme Labs, Continuum Loop, Evernym, Finicity, Futurewei, IBM, ID Ramp, LG CNS, Mastercard and others. The Trust over IP Foundation has over 170 members, including organizations as well as individuals, collaborating together with the common objective of changing the way people interact online.

The Trust over IP Foundation is defining a complete architecture for Internet-scale digital trust that combines both cryptographic trust at the machine layer and human trust at the business, legal, and social layers. As part of this community, the KABN Network is focused on bridging the gap between traditional fintech services and solutions and new and innovative Verified Credential processes.

KABN aims to use proven bank-grade identity verification processes to allow Holders (who use a credential), Verifiers (who confirm the validity of a credential) and Issuers (who produce the credential) to complete transactions of many kinds including financial services, eCommerce transactions, organization, building and visitor access badges among others.

“I am certain KABN will make a strong contribution to the Trust over IP Foundation.” said John Jordan, executive director, BC Digital Trust Service and executive director of ToIP. “People and businesses are going to continue using the internet to build relationships and complete transactions digitally with all the risks of security breaches and fraud that go along with it today. It’s time for a change. Global leaders are working together at our Foundation to make it possible for people to be known and to build trusted relationships online. I am happy to have KABN be part of this effort.”

Businesses today struggle to protect and manage digital assets and data, especially in an increasingly complex enterprise environment that includes the Internet of Things (IoT), Edge Computing, Artificial Intelligence and much more. This is compounding the already low consumer confidence in the use of personal data and is slowing innovation on opportunities like digital identity and the adoption of new services that can support humanity.

The KABN Network believes that without a global standard for how to ensure digital trust, these struggles are bound to continue. The four layers of Trust over IP’s dual governance and technology stack establish a clear model for how utilities, technical components, business rules and human-focused design can combine to solve this set of problems. The digital trust ecosystems that emerge from Trust over IP will help businesses, citizens and governments alike use the internet to create enduring trusted relationships that allow transactions to be completed safely and with confidence.

“With the ToIP Technology and Governance Stack, the industry is now in a position for an Identity Paradigm shift. Future generations will have a hard time believing that there was a day when everyone was anonymous on the Internet and we believe that the KABN Network is at the forefront of this evolution,” said RJ Reiser, KABN North America CBDO, Director and Co-Chair ToIP Ecosystem Foundry Working Group.

  • Announced that its Cubeler Lending Hub commercial lending platform has facilitated the first transactions related to a program created by the Company and consumer electronics wholesale distributor Beijing Dianjing Company Ltd. (“BDC”) to bring financing solutions to BDC’s 60,000 online retail clients
  • Newly-created purchase order financing program allows BDC’s clients, who collectively sell about CAD$50B worth of consumer electronics per year, to have up to 90% of the price of the products they purchase financed by any bank or lending institution represented on the Lending Hub.
  • Purchase orders for iPhones totalling a combined 48M RMB (about CAD$9.5M) coming from four JD.com (www.jd.com) affiliated stores were the first orders approved for funding through the program

\Montreal, Quebec–(November 12, 2020) – Peak Positioning Technologies Inc. (CSE: PKK) (OTCQX: PKKFF) (“Peak” or the “Company”), an innovative Fintech service provider to the Chinese commercial lending sector, today announced that its Cubeler Lending Hub commercial lending platform has facilitated the first transactions related to a program created by the Company and consumer electronics wholesale distributor Beijing Dianjing Company Ltd. (“BDC”) to bring financing solutions to BDC’s 60,000 online retail clients.

The newly-created purchase order financing program allows BDC’s clients, who collectively sell about CAD$50B worth of consumer electronics per year, to have up to 90% of the price of the products they purchase financed by any bank or lending institution represented on the Lending Hub.

Purchase orders for iPhones totalling a combined 48M RMB (about CAD$9.5M) coming from four JD.com (www.jd.com) affiliated stores were the first orders approved for funding through the program. The platform collected a fee equivalent to 2% of the annualized interest rate charged by the lender to finance the orders. The financing program was expected to start in early December, but pressing demand from the stores led Peak and BDC to take special measures to allow for these first transactions to be processed while the program is still undergoing minor adjustments.

“Our market research showed that there would be strong demand from online retailers for Lending Hub’s services, but we weren’t expecting to have to start the program almost a full month ahead of schedule,” commented Peak Group China CEO, Mr. Liang Qiu. “Retailers continuously buy and sell inventory and thus have an ongoing need for credit, a need that wasn’t properly addressed until today. We created a program that uses AI and analytics to help retailers buy more products from wholesalers, and are working with some of the country’s largest wholesale distributors to expand it nationwide. I think we have a unique opportunity here to positively impact a large segment of China’s CAD$6.5 trillion annual retail market. This is yet another way in which we believe we can accelerate the proliferation of the Lending Hub to every part of the country.”
