CALGARY, AB, May 6, 2021 /CNW/ - Katipult Technology Corp. (TSXV: FUND) ("Katipult" or the "Corporation"), a provider of industry leading and award-winning software infrastructure for powering the exchange of capital in equity and debt markets, is pleased to announce it has entered into a partnership agreement with VoPay to digitize online payments with speed, transparency and traceability for its SaaS deal management platform.
Katipult’s mission is to simplify and modernize private capital markets and this agreement with VoPay enables enhanced, real time payments across multiple channels including ACH, EFT, wire and credit card. The integrated payment capability allows Katipult to better serve its US and Canadian customers and will generate incremental transactional revenue for Katipult.
Along with its VoPay partnership, Katipult is announcing new product enhancements including:
Auto-Invest: Investors can now automate their participation in deals by toggling "set and forget" preferences. Participation can be optimally tailored to the investors individual preferences without needing to be online the moment new investment offerings become available.
Repayments: Issuers can now automate the capital return process including interest and dividend payments. Issuers simply define capital return rules and Katipult automatically processes these for investor accounts with comprehensive reporting via the investor portal.
"Working closely with a payment processing leader allows Katipult to deliver greater value to our customers. By integrating payments and reconciliation into the Katipult offering, we are able to provide a seamless experience for investors and issuers alike" said Katipult CEO Gord Breese. “This agreement with VoPay is a significant step in eliminating the traditional inefficiencies, friction and cost in payment processing for private capital transactions.”
“Katipult is a clear market innovator in digitizing private capital markets”, said Hamed Arbabi, VoPay CEO, “VoPay is excited to work with Katipult in this innovative integration of our respective technologies.”
