Mobilum is a licensed plug-and-play fiat-to-crypto gateway and payment processing technology solution for exchanges, wallets, brokers, liquidity providers, and cryptocurrency businesses.
Its simple-to-use on-ramp and off-ramp solution makes integration easy for businesses, whose users buy and sell cryptocurrencies with credit and debit cards. Mobilum guarantees zero chargebacks, the highest acceptance rates. At 2.99%, TechX said its transaction fees are the lowest in the industry.
"With the infusion of funds from our last financing round, we expect to quickly grow from the $150,000 in daily processing volumes we are currently doing by expanding the on-ramp offering to other cryptocurrency exchanges and businesses,” TechX CEO Peter Green said in a statement.
“It's becoming clear that decentralized finance is gaining global acceptance and we are excited to be part of this multi-billion dollar game-changing industry,” he added.
TechX said it is launching a gift and payment card off-ramp and digital wallet solution towards the end of the third quarter of 2021.
The company said it will issue a further news release announcing when it will commence trading under the new name, symbol and CUSIP number. The name change remains subject to CSE approval.
