Postmedia Network Inc. (“Postmedia”) today announced a strategic
Marketing Collaboration Agreement (the “Agreement”) with
Vancouver-based fintech company Agility Forex Ltd.
(“AgilityForex”). Offering international payments and currency
transfers to individuals and companies, AgilityForex removes the
wide spreads, fees and commissions of the big banks while providing
access to transfers 24 hours a day.
“By exploring innovative new revenue models with complementary
companies we are creating powerful new business accelerators,” said
Andrew Macleod, EVP and Chief Commercial Officer, Postmedia.
“Postmedia’s scale and scope – reaching nearly 12.8 million average
monthly unique visitors through our digital properties and 8.3
million Canadians weekly in print across more than 200 brands –
supercharges AgilityForex’s marketing efforts while both of our
companies align to benefit from the success of these
initiatives.”
Under the Agreement, the companies will collaborate to market
AgilityForex’s offerings and Postmedia will receive a share of
AgilityForex’s overall revenue as well as revenue attributable to
Postmedia’s activities. Additionally, AgilityForex has granted
Postmedia warrants to acquire shares of AgilityForex, which
warrants vest in one year, provided that Postmedia has provided an
agreed amount of promotional value.
“We’re delighted to be teaming up with Postmedia. Postmedia’s
incredible national reach will allow us to get our message in front
of millions of Canadians. People don't have to be tied to their
bank, when it comes to transferring money there’s an easier,
cheaper, faster way,” said Andrew McGuire, Co-Founder and CEO,
AgilityForex. “In the midst of the ongoing digital transformation
within the financial sector and the emergence of alternative
solutions, delivering an excellent customer experience while
offering financial savings and reducing time pressures is
paramount,” added Iain Thomson, Co-Founder and COO.
