The new service, named RêvCOIN, includes a free app; prepaid business debit card; and credit/debit card reader operating on the iPhone (iOS) and Android mobile platforms. RêvCOIN provides a comprehensive and streamlined mobile payments platform allowing users to fully process transactions, and instantly access funds without a traditional bank account required.

RêvCOIN is a "business-in-a-box" mobile payments solution allowing any business or entrepreneur to start accepting payments the same day their account is set up, RêvCOIN card reader not required. With RêvCOIN merchants can accept payments one minute and the next put the money they collected to work paying bills, buying supplies or even paying employees with their virtual and/or physical business debit card, allowing for instant access to funds.

"Traditionally cash has been the only convenient, universally accepted form of payment many entrepreneurs around the world can afford to accept," said Bertrand Sosa, Co-Founder and President of Rêv Worldwide and participating member of CGI. "New technologies have made significant achievements but lack a serious commitment to financial inclusion and access to capital at the core of their strategies. Industry providers are still going after the same customer base while ignoring the emerging markets entrepreneur," he added.

Unlike other mobile payment solutions available today that allow for payment acceptance via card readers, RêvCOIN is a comprehensive business solution for underserved merchants allowing for money in and out of the system. Key differences include, but are not limited to the following: no need for a bank account; a ready to use prepaid business debit card; FDIC insured (for U.S. accounts only), instant access to funds after payment is accepted; live customer support, an industry low swipe rate of 2.55%; mobile account transfer and management features including P2P transactions, a virtual card offering and more.

"RêvCOIN successfully overcomes mes the barriers to financial access for underserved merchants. We believe putting COINs in the hands of merchants is essential to unlocking financial access in underserved markets and will not only jumpstart the growth of businesses but also the growth of payment networks and financial products and services among the underserved," said David Clifton, Senior Vice President of Global Merchant Services of Rêv Worldwide.
