Mr. David Flores Resigns from Board Paving the Way to add New Strategic Members
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Global Payout Inc. (OTCPink:GOHE) (“Global” or the “Company”) would like to announce to its valued shareholders that effective January 31, 2020, Mr. David A. Flores will be stepping down from his role as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer. This move comes as part of the Company’s ongoing reorganization with the intent to promote diversification and new venture opportunities for its long-term profitability objectives. Mr. Flores’s resignation from Global Payout also extends to his role as Executive Vice President of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, MTrac Tech Corporation and his current seat as a GOHE Board Member.
Mr. Flores joined the Global Payout executive team in June 2018 following the Company’s reverse triangular merger with MoneyTrac Technology. Since then, he has been instrumental in guiding the Company through the successful completion of its two-year audit, in addition to playing a key leadership role alongside CEO, Vanessa Luna in the internal restructuring of the Company and effective launch of the MTrac brand.
“I am eternally appreciative of the hard work, determination and sacrifice Mr. Flores has demonstrated over the last year and a half with Global Payout,” said Global Payout CEO, Vanessa Luna. “His diligence and intellect were instrumental in working effectively with our accountants and auditors to successfully complete our two-year audit despite the significant challenges and frustrations that were encountered throughout its process. The positive impact on our company can be traced back to before he and I took control of Global Payout in June of 2018 and to the foundation he helped to develop for MoneyTrac Technology, which was the precursor to the success we have achieved with MTrac Tech. While his presence on our team will be missed, I am appreciative of the job he did to develop an incredibly stable foundational structure for the company and one that I am excited to continue building and expanding from.”
“I will be forever grateful of the incredible opportunity I have had to help reshape and restructure the core of this company,” said David Flores. “Opportunities such as the one I have had here with Global Payout are few and far between in one’s career. Much of my focus over the last year and a half has been directed towards the effective rehabilitation of the company’s internal structure with the intent to position it for long-term success and profitability. The two-year audit has unquestionably been one of the largest obstacles this company has had to clear in order to get itself on a path to profitability and with that obstacle finally in our rearview mirror, I am confident that this is the best moment for me to step aside and allow the vision of Ms. Luna to take lead. I do, however, intend to continue to lend my knowledge and expertise to Ms. Luna and the company from time-to-time and when it is called upon. Global Payout in my opinion, is ready to position itself for far greater business ventures, potential mergers and acquisitions, and prestigious new business partners. The newly available board seat will be offered to strategic partners that can help the Company move to the next level.”
In closing, David Flores stated, “I would like to personally thank all of the valued shareholders for your ongoing support and assure you I will be supporting alongside you as a shareholder and believer in the Global Payout team.”

Central banks and the FinTech sector unite to change global payments space
The BIS, along with seven leading central banks and a cohort of private financial firms, has embarked on an ambitious venture known as Project Agorá.
Named after the Greek word for “marketplace,” this initiative stands at the forefront of exploring the potential of tokenisation to significantly enhance the operational efficiency of the monetary system worldwide.
Central to this pioneering project are the Bank of France (on behalf of the Eurosystem), the Bank of Japan, the Bank of Korea, the Bank of Mexico, the Swiss National Bank, the Bank of England, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. These institutions have joined forces under the banner of Project Agorá, in partnership with an extensive assembly of private financial entities convened by the Institute of International Finance (IIF).
At the heart of Project Agorá is the pursuit of integrating tokenised commercial bank deposits with tokenised wholesale central bank money within a unified, public-private programmable financial platform. By harnessing the advanced capabilities of smart contracts and programmability, the project aspires to unlock new transactional possibilities that were previously infeasible or impractical, thereby fostering novel opportunities that could benefit businesses and consumers alike.
The collaborative effort seeks to address and surmount a variety of structural inefficiencies that currently plague cross-border payments. These challenges include disparate legal, regulatory, and technical standards; varying operating hours and time zones; and the heightened complexity associated with conducting financial integrity checks (such as anti-money laundering and customer verification procedures), which are often redundantly executed across multiple stages of a single transaction due to the involvement of several intermediaries.
As a beacon of experimental and exploratory projects, the BIS Innovation Hub is committed to delivering public goods to the global central banking community through initiatives like Project Agorá. In line with this mission, the BIS will soon issue a call for expressions of interest from private financial institutions eager to contribute to this ground-breaking project. The IIF will facilitate the involvement of private sector participants, extending an invitation to regulated financial institutions representing each of the seven aforementioned currencies to partake in this transformative endeavour.

TD Bank inks multi-year strategic partnership with Google Cloud
TD Bank has inked a multi-year deal with Google Cloud as it looks to streamline the development and deployment of new products and services.
The deal will see the Canadian banking group integrate the vendor’s cloud services into a wider portion of its technology solutions portfolio, a move which TD expects will enable it “to respond quickly to changing customer expectations by rolling out new features, updates, or entirely new financial products at an accelerated pace”.
This marks an expansion of the already established relationship between TD Bank and Google Cloud after the group previously adopted the vendor’s Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) for TD Securities Automated Trading (TDSAT), the Chicago-based subsidiary of its investment banking unit, TD Securities.
TDSAT uses GKE for process automation and quantitative modelling across fixed income markets, resulting in the development of a “data-driven research platform” capable of processing large research workloads in trading.
Dan Bosman, SVP and CIO of TD Securities, claims the infrastructure has so far supported TDSAT with “compute-intensive quantitative analysis” while expanding the subsidiary’s “trading volumes and portfolio size”.
TD’s new partnership with Google Cloud will see the group attempt to replicate the same level of success across its entire portfolio.

MAS launches transformative platform to combat money laundering
The MAS has unveiled Cosmic, an acronym for Collaborative Sharing of Money Laundering/Terrorism Financing Information and Cases, a new money laundering platform.
According to Business Times, launched on April 1, Cosmic stands out as the first centralised digital platform dedicated to combating money laundering, terrorism financing, and proliferation financing on a worldwide scale. This move follows the enactment of the Financial Services and Markets (Amendment) Act 2023, which, along with its subsidiary legislation, commenced on the same day to provide a solid legal foundation and safeguards for information sharing among financial institutions (FIs).
Cosmic enables participating FIs to exchange customer information when certain “red flags” indicate potential suspicious activities. The platform’s introduction is a testament to MAS’s commitment to ensuring the integrity of the financial sector, mandating participants to establish stringent policies and operational safeguards to maintain the confidentiality of the shared information. This strategic approach allows for the efficient exchange of intelligence on potential criminal activities while protecting legitimate customers.
Significantly, Cosmic was co-developed by MAS and six leading commercial banks in Singapore—OCBC, UOB, DBS, Citibank, HSBC, and Standard Chartered—which will serve as participant FIs during its initial phase. The initiative emphasizes voluntary information sharing focused on addressing key financial crime risks within the commercial banking sector, such as the misuse of legal persons, trade finance, and proliferation financing.
Loo Siew Yee, assistant managing director for policy, payments, and financial crime at MAS, highlighted that Cosmic enhances the existing collaboration between the industry and law enforcement authorities, fortifying Singapore’s reputation as a well-regulated and trusted financial hub. Similarly, Pua Xiao Wei of Citi Singapore and Loretta Yuen of OCBC have expressed their institutions’ support for Cosmic, noting its potential to ramp up anti-money laundering efforts and its significance as a development in the banking sector’s ability to combat financial crimes efficiently. DBS’ Lam Chee Kin also praised Cosmic as a “game changer,” emphasizing the careful balance between combating financial crime and ensuring legitimate customers’ access to financial services.
