VANCOUVER, BC – July 17, 2018 – BIG Blockchain Intelligence Group Inc. (“BIG” or “the Company”) (CSE: BIGG)(WKN: A2JSKG)(OTC: BBKCF), a leading developer and provider of blockchain and cryptocurrency search, risk-scoring and data analytics tools and investigation services, and Glance Technologies Inc. (“Glance”), a leading mobile payments company, today jointly announced they have entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement (the “Agreement”).
Under the terms of the Agreement, BIG and Glance will work together to:
(a) establish a mutual referral and strategic marketing relationship;
(b) further explore ways to work together; and
(c) collaboratively market and promote the businesses of both BIG and Glance.
Glance’s focus is to streamline mobile payment services. Glance owns and operates Glance Pay, a proprietary, streamlined payment system that revolutionizes how smartphone users choose where to shop, order goods and services, make payments, access digital receipts, redeem digital deals, earn loyalty rewards and interact with merchants. Their Glance Merchant service works with Glance Pay to allow businesses to accept mobile payments instantly and provide superior analytics. Glance is also developing its own cryptocurrency, Glance Coin, a reward token, with the objective of simplifying and enabling the adoption of cryptocurrency into everyday life. Glance Coin will give consumers instant access to a network of preferred merchants who not only accept Glance Coin, but also offer member-only crypto-based loyalty rewards that help customers build their crypto account with every dollar they spend.
“We’re excited to explore the strategic ways we can work with Glance to the mutual benefit of both companies,” said BIG CEO, Lance Morginn. “Glance’s current work on developing Glance Coin as a rewards-based cryptocurrency to be integrated into their platform could be a natural fit with the tools and services BIG offers. In the case of Glance Pay, there could be possibilities of cross-integrations or introductions to potential clients as Glance has significant licensing agreements in place with companies in markets ranging from cannabis to fitness and wellness, and foreign students and tourism. We look forward to working with Desmond and the team of experts at Glance.”
Desmond Griffin, CEO of Glance commented: “I see this agreement as just the beginning of working with BIG to position both our companies front and center in the global market. As the co-founder of a previous company that processed tens of millions of mobile payments for millions of consumers in 100+ cities around the world, I know you can only build a global presence and client base through this type of partnership and collaboration. We will accomplish so much more by working together. My team and I welcome the opportunities and the chance to work with BIG’s team in the days to come.”
