Additional Recent Growth Milestones:

1. BaaS Pilot Program Success: AppTech CEO Luke D’Angelo recently highlighted the success of the BaaS pilot program, which has achieved a key milestone in democratizing banking. The program introduced virtual accounts, commercial purchase debit cards, and advanced features such as SMS invoicing for B2B transactions. This initiative aims to reduce friction in payments and foster a Real Time Payment network, setting the stage for the anticipated adoption by over 200 new Independent Sales Organizations. This advancement is positioned to drive growth for legacy banks and credit unions throughout the United States, ultimately allowing them to compete with the large banks and drive value back to the consumer.
2. InstaCash and Financial Inclusion: AppTech's InstaCash platform is positioned to transform specialty payments by offering a real-time, seamless transaction system. It empowers banks and credit unions of all sizes to provide instant transactions, leveling the playing field in the Fintech space. The platform is also set to enhance financial literacy through integrated online courses, expanding its impact beyond mere transactions to social empowerment.
3. FinZeo Platform Roll-Out: The FinZeo platform continues to gain traction, with expectations to be available to credit unions nationwide. This innovative solution provides a competitive edge to legacy banks by delivering advanced tech services for mobile payments, ACH, and credit card processing. AppTech anticipates significant uptake as credit unions transition from legacy systems to Fintech solutions.
4. Airport Adoption of FinZeo: This milestone represents the beginning of a broader rollout expected to include approximately forty domestic and international airports in 2024, setting the foundation for a profitable year ahead.
