LYNX Global Completes First Phase of Acquisitions Ahead of Schedule
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. – August 31, 2021) - Lynx Global Digital Finance
Corporation (CSE: LYNX) (OTC Pink: CNONF) (FSE: 3CT0) ("Lynx" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce that it has completed its aggressive acquisition slate of a bank and fintech companies,
Binangonan Rural Bank (BRB), Arkin, and DA5. In addition, the Company wishes to provide an update on
key milestones achieved over the past three months that will secure a strong foundation for its business
operations and growth.
“Completing acquisitions of Arkin, DA5 and BRB, and integrating their operations aligns with our goal to
have a complete suite of services across card issuing, card acquiring, remittances and crypto to bring a
digitized economy to underbanked and underserved in Southeast Asia and Oceania,” commented
Michael Penner, chief executive officer, Lynx Global Finance.
“The recent addition of a bank to our portfolio is icing on the cake. The type of banking license we have
has enabled us to leapfrog a main barrier to entry encountered by other players wishing to enter the SE
Asian marketplace. We have now positioned ourselves to be a potential ‘preferred provider of choice’ that
many other fintech’s will seek to partner with rather than going to the vast amount of time, cost and effort
required in attempting to ob tain their own license – case in point - we are receiving many inquiries for
collaboration towards offering new and unique financial products and services that can be facilitated by
our BRB banking license, “ he concluded.
Key milestones achieved May through July 2021:
Completed acquisitions and streamlined operations into a unified global payment network:
• Direct Agent 5, Inc. (DA5) - a Philippines-based central bank licensed and regulated
global remittance and forex provider with over 2,300 physical locations and over 15 years
experience servicing the worldwide flow of funds;
• DA5 Australia (formerly Arkin Technologies Pty. Ltd.) - DA5 Australia is an Australian fintech
pioneer and registered owner/operator of an Australian Digital Currency Exchange and
Remittance License ;
• Binangonan Rural Bank Inc. (BRB) - Founded in 1961 with a mission to extend credit
to small farmers and merchants, BRB has now evolved into a progressive and innovative Rural
Bank with an Electronic Money Issuer (EMI) license;
Building payment ecosystems and strengthening operations:
• DA5 and DA5 Australia expanded and integrated direct operational payment distribution channels
with FinFan Vietnam; (FinFan is Vietnam’s largest provider of global remittance services);
• DA5 has integrated with Globe Telecom GCash ewallet - GCash is the Philippines number one
finance app with over 33 Million users;
• DA5 formed a strategic global technology partnership with Pipit Global, a provider of international
cash payments, with over 320,000 cash-in/cash-out locations globally.
With these milestones completed and operations integrated, Lynx is aggressively pursuing to serve the
Southeast Asia market, which represents a huge opportunity in the global expansion of digital payments
and financial services. According to a recent study completed by Google, Temasek and Bain & Company,
"The Future of Southeast Asia Digital Financial Services”, which highlighted, “With a population of 570
million and a booming GDP expected to reach $4.7 trillion by 2025, the six largest countries in Southeast
Asia represent one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing regions. Within the region, the financial
services industry holds tremendous potential that could be unleashed if fundamental underlying
challenges are addressed. For example, cash is still the primary means of transaction. More than 70% of
the adult population is either “underbanked” or “unbanked,” with limited access to financial services.
In addition, millions of Southeast Asia’s small and midsize enterprises (SMEs) face large funding gaps.”
Lynx Global is creating the financial infrastructure that will bring together all forms of cash -in/cash-out,
online e -commerce, cryptocurrency, and digital payment solutions into one single unified financial
network.
The Company looks forward to providing additional updates to investors as appropriate.
