Upon meeting the goal, contract exclusivity will be awarded for 2 additional years for a total of 3 years.
MIAMI BEACH, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 31, 2022 / Cuentas, Inc. (Nasdaq:CUEN & CUENW) ("Cuentas"), a leading fintech provider of mobile financial app and payment solutions, announced today it entered a marketing agreement with LSI Group, a fintech and energy solutions provider with headquarters and operations in Guatemala to market the US based Cuentas Mobile App and promote it in Central America countries including El Salvador and Honduras with plans to expand to South America, starting with Colombia, with the goal to sign 200,000 US-based Cuentas cardholders within 1 year for international cross-border remittances.
"The people we're servicing in Latin America have relatives and friends who are US residents that make global remittances monthly or even weekly to send money back home to their loved ones," says LSI Group CEO Ana Illescas. "LSI found that Cuentas had one of the cheapest methods for our customers to receive cross-border payments-only $4.99 for up to a $500 transfer. That's going to have a really positive impact on people who need fintech solutions that work for them. We're very proud to be partners with Cuentas," added Illescas.
According to the agreement, LSI Group, which holds strong ties to consumers in Latin America, will educate its customers and promote the advantages for their US based relatives and friends to register for the Cuentas Mobile App for financial services which includes the Cuentas prepaid debit card. The US residents will be able to send remittances up to $500 from the United States to beneficiaries for only $4.99 who will be able to pick up cash at brick and mortar Western Union locations. LSI found that the advantages of the Cuentas Mobile App will deliver efficiency, security and improve the final amount of local currency delivered to the recipient. For the first one year term, LSI Group will promote the benefits that Cuentas can provide to its customers if their relatives and friends in the US register, activate, and maintain the Cuentas mobile app with a direct deposit or cash load of at least $50 via the nationwide Vanilla Direct Load Network. The agreement requires LSI's efforts to result in the registration of at least 200,000 US residents becoming Cuentas Mobile App cardholders within the first year. This will stimulate transactions between the U.S. and countries in which LSI is active through Cuentas' remittance partner - Cuentas money transfer powered by Western Union. LSI will receive a 30% share of net revenue received from its referred Cuentas cardholders. Upon meeting their first year goal, the term of the Cuentas-LSI Group agreement will be extended to three years on an exclusive basis.
Cuentas Co-Founder and Interim CEO Arik Maimon weighed in, "I am glad that Cuentas is partnered with the largest remittance company in the world to help our US-based cardholders to send money to 200 countries & territories, which will help the Latin American recipients to benefit. Our agreement with LSI Group is a key step in bringing remittances and financial support to people in Latin America. My vision has always been to improve the status of the hard working, underserved people to be able to improve their quality of life."
