FingerMotion Provides Supplemental Corporate UpdateNEW YORK, Aug. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FingerMotion, Inc. (OTC QB: FNGR), a US FinTech company with mobile payment and recharge platform operations in China, today provided a supplemental corporate update in a letter from its CEO Martin Shen to its shareholders. To Our Shareholders The China Unicom Portal Partnership The partnership agreement between FingerMotion and China Unicom allows FingerMotion to have direct access to users for their top-up fulfillment, and also allows FingerMotion to sell any and all mobile phone products available from China Unicom through the China Unicom brand portals. China Unicom will remain responsible for all inventory and fulfilment costs of physical products, meaning FingerMotion will have very limited capital costs in handing all revenues coming through the portals. This partnership allows FingerMotion to share profits with the second largest telecommunications company in China. The expected rollout of the China Unicom portals should begin before November 2019. SMS Business Our business model relies on clients who regularly send messages to their retail customer base. We buy our messages at bulk wholesale prices, then immediately sell the messages to our retail partners, allowing them to share, in part, in the discounted rates. This allows us to generate revenue and increase our margins with little risk of inventory. Unlike our portal business with China Unicom, we grant our customers 30-day payment terms, so this business requires us to invest in carrying client receivables. Big Data Insights We are well aware of the obligations we have to consumers to keep their information private and safe. We will only use data we accumulate with each individual consumer’s permission and we will explain what information we wish to obtain, and how we will use this information to save money for the consumer. Capital Requirements Corporate Governance and Transparency In line with future planning, we have hired an in-house investor relations representative to assist in answering investors’ questions. In addition, we plan to update our website and keep the information up-to-date and current. We hope you appreciate our efforts in this regard as we move to establish a better rapport with our investors. Our focus is on sustainable profitability. Like other e-commerce FinTech companies, we are focused on customer acquisition and growing our Gross Transaction Volume (GTV). But our strategic relationships also give us unprecedented access to users and the ability to sell a wide array of products and services to this expansive user base. We believe our inflection point to profitability is only months away, and we hope that our investors appreciate the progress we have made this year and can see the future direction of our company as we do.
