Independent sales representatives provide scalable technology sales opportunity for health screening and vaccine passports to Contakt World and its portfolio companies

  • HealthCheck’s existing 1,000+ customer sites were acquired through sales efforts of one part-time independent sales representative and two founders leading to $1.55M CAD revenue and $555K CAD net profit for the twelve-months ended July 31, 20211
  • In addition to plans to bolster its revenue opportunities with vaccine passports and validation, Contakt World just launched a program to aggressively add independent sales representatives to scale sales within employer establishments, K-12 schools and event venues in the US
  • Contakt World’s advertisements and initial screening process to add independent sales representatives for health screening, vaccine passports, and future solutions yielded dozens of qualified applicants in less than two weeks
  • Independent sales representatives are expected to grow customer base and increase revenue for HealthCheck and future solutions like vaccine passports on a commission-only basis

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 1, 2021) – Contakt World Technologies Corp. (CSE: HELP) (OTC: TLOOF) (FSE: B2I0) (the “Company” or “Contakt World”), a SaaS company committed to improving health equity and access to healthcare while solving sector specific business challenges like symptom screening and vaccine passports, today announced it will create a network of independent sales representatives to scale sales for the recently acquired HealthCheck app, vaccine passports, and future acquisitions or partnering products.

Contakt World’s processes for independent sales representatives are being designed for efficient onboarding, CRM to track leads and sales, recurring trainings, and lead generation to support independent sales representatives. Independent sales representatives will be paid a commission of 10% on their collected sales from health screening, vaccine passports, and future products.

“A single independent sales representative working on a commission-basis led to hundreds of commercial users for HealthCheck and 12-month trailing revenues of $1.55M CAD1, as at July 31, 2021, before we acquired the company,” stated Justin Beck, Chief Visionary Officer for Contakt World. “HealthCheck is an attractive solution for organizations of all shapes and sizes, where liabilities relating to COVID-19, vaccine passports, symptom screening, and safety are reduced through our SaaS solutions. More independent representatives to sell our solutions means more sales opportunities for Contakt World.” Contakt has initiated the onboarding of several sales representatives with the goal of contracting a team of 15-20 people in the next 30-60 days distributed across multiple states in the United States.

In addition to its efforts to add vaccine credentials and vaccine validation to the HealthCheck screening tool, Contakt World is negotiating with several partner technologies to bolster its SaaS portfolio for customers in a number of health-related fields. Symptom screening, vaccine passports, vaccine validation, and other methods to improve population safety and reduce liability are becoming key to everyday business, travel, and social life.

Central banks and the FinTech sector unite to change global payments space

Published

on

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

Published

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

Published

on

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.
