Mint UAE Reports 25% Mobile App Adoption on Initial Rollout in First Two Weeks

Toronto, Canada: October 24, 2018 – The Mint Corporation (TSX-V: MIT) (“Mint”) is pleased to announce that its majority-owned subsidiary Mint Middle East LLC (“MME”) has generated strong initial results on the launch of its mobile app.

Since the launch of the first phase two weeks ago to just 80,000 of Mint’s payroll cardholders, over 25% are now actively using the Mint Mobile App. Of these initial users, about one-third have purchased the mobile top-up product through the Mint Mobile App, with Mint sharing the top-up fees with mobile phone operators. MME is actively educating its cardholder-base on the benefits of using the mobile app which is expected to further bolster these adoption rates.

“The initial response to our mobile app launch has been extremely encouraging. We are aware most of our cardholders are mobile-first internet users and the initial mobile app adoption and usage metrics further validates our roll-out strategy of offering cutting-edge fintech services to the underbanked over smartphones. It is our vision to create a ubiquitous mobile-enabled fintech platform for the underbanked and the initial market acceptance shows that we are on the right track. We are also pleased to be receiving favourable reviews from our customers”, states Abdul Razzak Al Abdullah – Chairman & CEO of MME.
