About Tracopay Tracopay provides banks with a payment device that enables their clients to securely make retail payments in a way that is faster and more convenient than using cash. The payment device, whose technology is backed by patents, fits in a wallet since it is the size of a credit/debit card and 4mm thick. The device is interactive, versatile and provides users with a distinctive payment experience. Tracopay provides an inclusive payment solution that can be used by individuals across economic class and can inexpensively and conveniently be used to make payments in both formal and informal business settings. The Opportunity In countries found in Asia, Middle East, Eastern Europe, Africa and Latin America, over 90% of payments for goods and services are conducted in cash. For example in Kenya, a study conducted by MasterCard last year, indicated cash accounts for nearly 75% of the value of transactions, and more than 95% of transactions. As of March 2014, there was USD 10 billion of currency and demand deposits in the Kenyan economy. Finding a way to monetize the millions of cash transactions worth billions of dollars that occur every day in Kenya and in other countries in the developing and emerging markets, presents an incredible lucrative opportunity. The Solution Tracopay has developed a payment device that can beat cash and is suited for the unique retail environment found in developing and emerging markets. The payment solution makes it possible to monetize the retail cash transactions that occur in developing and emerging markets. Key features of the payment solution are: Cash is simple and fast to use. Tracopays payment solution is also simple to use but faster than cash. Users simply unlock the device using their index fingerprint, key the amount to pay and then tap their payment device with another device or POS terminal. Unlike cash, there is no need for counting currency, making calculations to determine change or in some cases, looking for the right currency denomination as change. When a user pays with cash, they are assured that the transaction will be completed cash is reliable. Immediate connection to a remote server is not a requirement to effect retail payments using Tracopays payment solution. The implication of this is that retail payments are effected instantaneously each and every time. Users are not affected by connection issues that sometimes make credit/debit cards or mobile payment solutions to experience delays or worse, not effect retail transactions. Users of Tracopays payment solution can make payments anytime and anywhere just like in the use of cash. This is because the payment device facilitates to a certain degree offline contactless payments. Users are not restricted on making retail payments where and when a network connection is available. This makes Tracopays payment solution EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Page 5 of 6
suited for countries in emerging and developing countries where network connections can be unreliable and in some areas nonexistent. Use of cash does not require a POS terminal. With Tracopays payment solution, users can make retail payments even if the merchant does not invest in a POS terminal. For example a street vendor can use their personal device to accept electronic paymentsthe customer simply needs to tap their device with the street vendors device. This is made possible because the payment device can both accept and make electronic payments. This is particular important especially for developing and emerging markets where majority of retail payments resemble person to person use cases. However note that an individual can also tap their payment device with a POS terminal. To further enhance the attractiveness of Tracopays payment solution over cash, users will be able to view on the go their transaction history, quickly know their balance by the press of a button, set reminders and alerts for important bills or payments and easily reverse transactions. Users also dont need to memorize USSD codes, PINs or phone, pay bill or account numbers. Furthermore, we intend to have a loyalty scheme to enhance customer engagement and usage. Note the payment device can also facilitate person-to-person money transfer, remote/bill payments and online payments. These are value added services that make the payment solution a complete solutiononce you have the device, you will not need any other payment solution. Sales and Marketing The first individuals to adopt this solution will be those living in urban areas who are open to adopting new technologies and who have bank accounts. Once this market segment is saturated banks will then shift their focus on recruiting individuals in rural areas who are often late adopters of technology and usually do not have bank accounts. The unbanked may not use banking services often but they do make retail transactions and the payment device enables banks to monetize this opportunity via transaction fees. We will position ourselves in the market, as a low cost payment solution provider that brings convenience to the lives of users by enabling them to reliably make a wide range of payments with ease and speed. To ensure the solution penetrates the market quickly, we intend to minimize adoption costs by issuing the devices preferably at zero cost or at a highly subsidized price (the device cost between USD 11 to USD 20 and its cost can be recouped via levied transaction fees). Competition There is no electronic payment solution that can beat the efficiency of cash in developing and emerging markets. This is why over 90% of retail transactions in many countries in these regions are still done with cash. Thus Tracopays, competitor is cash. Cash is an efficient payment solution. However using our proprietary technology, we have created an easy to use solution that has the qualities of cash but more convenient, versatile and faster to use. Furthermore we provide unparalleled user experience that cash or any other payment solution cannot offer. This way we will be able to make users over time, to stop using cash and to start using Tracopays payment device. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Page 6 of 6
Business Model Every type of transaction that occurs within Tracopays payment ecosystem is charged a transaction fee. Given the range of payment types facilitated by the device, Tracopay has a diversified income stream. Given our strong functional patents which were drafted by a top global patent attorneys firm, we intend to license our technology in developing and emerging countries like Nigeria, South Africa, Brazil, Mexico, India, Indonesia, Turkey and China . Licensing income will be the main revenue stream for Tracopay. Tracopay expects to earn a minimum of 10% of the revenue its licensees generate from the payment innovation. To penetrate developed markets, we will consider partnering with Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, Square or even Google.
