TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / December 22, 2022 / BANXA Holdings Inc. (TSX-V:BNXA)(OTCQX:BNXAF)(FSE:AC00) ("Banxa" or "The Company"), the leading global web3 on/off ramp solution, provides a further update on the trade cessation status and general business matters.

The Company continues to make progress with its auditor, RSM Canada, on completing its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Due to the nature of Banxa's industry, combined with the material growth of the fiscal year to be reported, all parties have sought extra assurances that reporting is in-line with current accounting standards. The Company anticipates the audit being completed in the new year and will provide shareholders with a further update in due course.

The Company has now been granted 12 USA Money Transmitter Licence (MTLs).

The Company is also pleased to report that it successfully signed and executed over 30 paid integrations and token listing fees in the period October 2022 to December 2022, resulting in an additional AUD$500,000 in gross profit margin contribution. After the successful pilot of this additional revenue stream, the Banxa team is working hard to scale this revenue stream which is above and beyond the existing commission/spread revenue stream the Company currently generates.

The Company's day-to-day business operations continue to operate soundly and are making headway in the execution of its strategic plan, particularly concerning sales and product development.

Working Capital facility

Total Transaction Value (TTV) has been steadily increasing since the middle of calendar 2022 and there is a requirement for increased working capital to fund the T+2 to T+5 settlements over the coming holiday period. The Company's subsidiary, BTC Corporation Pty Ltd. ("BTC"), entered into an unsecured loan agreement with TIGA Trading Pty Ltd. ("Thorney") pursuant to which Thorney will provide BTC with a revolving credit facility in the principal sum of up to AUD$2 million, the credit facility with Thorney accrues interest at the rate of 19.99% per annum (calculated daily) and the loan matures on April 20, 2023. The company will issue Thorney 100,000 3-year warrants with a strike price of CAD$1 as part of the loan facility.
