RevoluGROUP Canada Inc. (TSX-V:
REVO), (Frankfurt:
IJA2), (Munich:
A2PU92) ("RevoluGROUP”) is
pleased to announce that their wholly owned subsidiary RevoluPAY SL
(
RevoluPAY) has entered into an agreement with the
Norwegian Refugee Council (
NRC) to provide the
financial technology platform to facilitate transactions between
the NRC and RevoluPAY partner, MillionBridges SL
(
MillionBridges). The purpose of the agreement is
to improve the distribution of international cash aid by
incorporating advanced financial technology for efficient and
secure transactions directly benefiting recipients. RevoluPAY will
manage the transfer of funds from NRC to MillionBridges and then to
the beneficiaries, ensuring compliance with global financial
regulations and anti-money laundering directives.
Under the terms of the agreement (signed on
April 8th, 2024 but requiring compliance and administrative review
prior to execution) with the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), it is
anticipated that NRC will transfer transactions totalling an
estimated value of $500,000 USD per month that will ramp up over a
1-3 month period. While the agreement between MillionBridges and
NRC is based on an annual basis, the amount of funds transferred is
expected to fluctuate on a month-to-month basis, allowing for
flexibility and adjustability in response to the evolving needs of
both parties involved. RevoluPAY will earn a minimal percentage of
the total value of transactions transferred, which is inline with
industry standards, and reflects the commitment to supporting NRC's
humanitarian efforts efficiently and effectively.
Alfredo Manresa, Director of RevoluGROUP
and General Manager of RevoluPAY, stated, "Our innovative
global settlement network is poised to make a significant impact in
how humanitarian aid is facilitated. By leveraging RevoluPAY's
technology, we ensure not only the efficient but also the secure
transfer of funds to those in dire need, adhering strictly to
global standards."
RevoluPAY's critical role in this collaborative
effort is underscored by its capability to transfer fast and
efficient funds to Lebanon through its expansive global settlement
network. This system is integral to the reliability of the
financial distribution framework, ensuring that aid reaches those
in need promptly and securely. The collaboration between RevoluPAY,
MillionBridges, and the Norwegian Refugee Council is deeply rooted
in transparency, accountability, and efficiency principles. By
harnessing these values, the partnership aims to significantly
enhance the process of distributing international aid, making it
more accessible and practical for crisis-affected communities in
Lebanon and beyond. This endeavour demonstrates the potential of
fintech solutions in humanitarian contexts and sets a new standard
for the delivery of international aid, prioritizing the needs and
dignity of beneficiaries.
Gavin McMillan, CEO and Director of
RevoluGROUP, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership,
stating, "We are immensely pleased to be in a position to assist in
humanitarian aid efforts. This collaboration with MillionBridges
and with the Norwegian Refugee Council allows us to play a pivotal
role in providing the financial technology support where it's most
needed."
