The
Paypers analyzed the visible
decrease in M&A activity as 2022 drew to a close after a prolific three
quarters. In this context, partnerships in Fintech and digital banking proved
the rising trends in the ecosystem; moreover, they are globally verged towards
consolidating financial resilience and opportunity, in order to meet rising
customer expectations for security, flexibility, and settlement speed.
AppTech
has a history of building strategic partnerships to build on its global reach
and recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with
Broadnet Technologies, LLC (https://www.broadnet.me/), a Tier 1,
SMS/Text Provider and Aggregator.
From the news: The Company
anticipates executing a definitive Strategic Partnership Agreement, Patent
License Agreement, and Channel Partner Agreement within sixty days from the
announcement of the MOU. After the definitive agreements are executed, the
partnership will expand AppTech's reach in the global text-to-pay space,
offering AppTech's CommerseTM platform to Broadnet's global customer
base. In addition, AppTech and Broadnet will offer two-way SMS and a suite of
SMS tools to the global market. The Patent License Agreement will license
AppTech's SMS and Mobile Payment patents to Broadnet, thereby expanding the
Company's footprint by supporting integrations with its patent-based portfolio
in text-to-pay and SMS solutions.
"Once
fully executed, these pending agreements will allow AppTech to offer our
intellectual property and suite of CommerseTM products to Broadnet's
customer base. In addition, the Company plans to roll out a link to phone and
invoice payment checkout experience using text to pay," said Virgil
Llapitan, President of AppTech Payments Corp. "We look forward to working
closely with the Broadnet team in what we expect to be a mutually beneficial
partnership that will drive long-term growth and ultimately build shareholder
value."
The
partnership will build upon licensing AppTech's intellectual property,
including but not limited to Payments-as-a-Service ("PaaS"),
Banking-as-a-service ("BaaS"), text-to-pay, and two-way SMS. The
integration with Broadnet's network will bolster AppTech's fully integrated
approach to all payments experiences and purchasing journeys. As a result, the
partnership will empower AppTech to continue the development, growth, and
launch of CommerseTM and Broadnet to offer payments to their more
than 60,000 clients worldwide.
Starting
from BroadNet's HQ in Beirut, Lebanon, Broadnet has offices and branches in 13
countries on 4 continents, with more being planned. The Company’s website shows an elite
client base, including Google, McDonalds, Adidas and Uber that trust and use
their services.
Broadnet
built the first short message service center (SMSC) gateway, which is the
portion of a mobile phone network that handles text message operations and is
responsible for receiving, storing, routing, and forwarding SMS messages from
mobile handsets.
In
late April, AppTech also announced a strategic
partnership with Corix Solutions, LLC (https://www.corixsolutions.io/), an integrator of
the open-source Waves Enterprise blockchain. The partnership strengthens
AppTech's global reach and expands the Company's footprint by supporting
integrations with its patent-based portfolio in text-to-pay, geolocation-based
solutions, and peer-to-peer mobile payment systems.

General Manager at Central Payments. “Those that may want to manage their
program in-house eventually can also use our services as a lower risk model to
get to market quickly with a proof-of-concept.”

in mission-critical, real-time payments, announced earlier this month it has
teamed up with MagicCube, the creator of i-Accept™, to deliver secure and
seamless contactless payments on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) smartphones
and tablets using Tap to Pay—with or without PIN. The solution will provide
mid-size and large retailers operating in complex environments with

their local hypermarket or supermarket to loved ones in over 200 countries and
territories around the world. MoneyGram will support Carrefour on the
operational management of this new service, including technical implementation,
