MyBucks concludes acquisition of one Opportunity Bank and two Microfinance Lending Institutions

- MyBucks concludes acquisition of Opportunity Tanzania Limited, Opportunity Kenya Limited and Banco Oportunidade de Mozambique

Luxembourg, 1 July 2016 - As part of a partnership with Opportunity International, Frankfurt listed MyBucks S.A. ("MyBucks"), a Luxembourg- based Fintech holding company for GetBucks, GetSure and GetBanked, announced today that it has officially completed the closing conditions for Opportunity Tanzania Limited, Opportunity Kenya Limited and Banco Oportunidade de Mozambique.

Commenting on this as well as the Opportunity International partnership, Dave van Niekerk, CEO of MyBucks says: "The partnership allows us to actively pursue virtual financial inclusion across the continent, where digital and mobile banking are the only realistic path to banking the unbanked and underbanked in these markets. The introduction of Fintech to these markets will continue to bridge the gap between the virtual and traditional worlds of banking to enable faster, more efficient and less expensive access to financial services for clients," he comments.

Through completing the acquisition in Kenya, Mozambique and Tanzania, MyBucks has increased its footprint to eleven African markets. Kenya, Mozambique and Tanzania generated c. EUR8 million in revenues for the year ending 31 December 2016, and will allow MyBucks to accelerate its growth, roll out its banking products more effectively and grow the bottom line accordingly.

Tim Nuy, Executive Director of MyBucks, comments: "In parallel, we are pleased to announce today that grant money is being advanced to Opportunity Kenya and Tanzania for agriculture finance initiatives by Opportunity International. The support for our partnership has been tremendous and we believe this advance is a testament to that support. We are very confident that we will be able to continue expanding our client base rapidly using technology, delivering on the current grants, whilst continuing to benefit from Opportunity's work in this regards."

Opportunity International Global CEO Vicki Escarra, says "Our goal is to continue leveraging digital and mobile technology to serve clients in even the most remote areas of Africa, and bring about the next phase of financial inclusion that will reach hundreds of millions faster and more efficiently than has been done before." Escarra notes that the funds received in Kenya and Tanzania is evidence of the continued strong support of our work and strategy among corporate partners helping us accelerate our mission and improve more lives.

Van Niekerk says that customers will still be able to access all the products that were previously available to them in Kenya and Tanzania, but with the added benefits of the MyBucks technology platform, which will ensure much faster product delivery, as well as more accurate credit scoring.

"Our cutting-edge technology has effectively allowed us to refine the process of banking, building credit and accessing other short-term financial services, through virtual solutions and advanced technological applications. Going forward, our ultimate aim is to ensure that when compared to traditional methods our offering is fast, simple and trustworthy."

MyBucks recently listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, raising EUR 15.5m which translates into a market capitalization of EUR 150m. MyBucks expects to announce further positive news regarding the remaining three countries (Ghana, Malawi and Uganda) in the next weeks.
