Partnership Includes Existing Enterprise Agreements Representing Approximately 18,500 Locations and Establishes Framework for Significant National Growth

BOCA RATON, Fla., June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PointsKash, Inc. (“PointsKash”), a rapidly emerging financial commerce and loyalty monetization platform, today announced the execution of a strategic partnership agreement with BitCorp Inc., a business development and enterprise merchant acquisition organization focused on accelerating nationwide deployment opportunities for the PointsKash ecosystem.

The agreement marks a major milestone in PointsKash’s national growth strategy and is expected to significantly expand the Company’s merchant distribution footprint for its KashPoint™ financial services kiosks, PK Pay™ mobile application, rewards monetization platform, and future financial center initiatives.

As part of the partnership, BitCorp is expected to assign existing enterprise agreements representing approximately 18,500 merchant locations to PointsKash, including a major national hotel organization and a large national convenience store and fuel retail network. These assignments are anticipated to provide PointsKash with an immediate deployment pipeline and a substantial foundation for future growth.

Beyond the initial assignments, BitCorp will assist PointsKash in pursuing a growing portfolio of enterprise merchant opportunities collectively representing more than 100,000 potential merchant locations nationwide across multiple industry sectors.

PointsKash believes many of these merchants may ultimately participate in multiple components of the Company’s ecosystem, including kiosk deployment, digital financial services, loyalty and rewards monetization, mobile wallet services, and future financial products offered through the PointsKash platform.

Building a National Financial Commerce Network

PointsKash’s vision is to create one of the nation’s largest physical-to-digital financial commerce networks by connecting consumers, merchants, loyalty programs, financial services, and digital payments through a unified ecosystem.

The Company’s KashPoint™ kiosks provide access to a growing suite of financial services while the PK Pay™ mobile application is designed to allow consumers to convert loyalty rewards and other stored-value assets into spendable purchasing power.

Management believes the BitCorp relationship substantially accelerates the Company’s ability to scale both its physical and digital footprint across the United States.

Executive Commentary

“This partnership represents one of the most significant developments in the history of PointsKash,” said Michael Herron, Chief Executive Officer and President of PointsKash.

“For the first time, we have a structured pathway to pursue more than 100,000 potential merchant locations through a single strategic relationship while simultaneously receiving the assignment of existing enterprise agreements representing approximately 18,500 locations. This dramatically accelerates our national rollout strategy and provides a powerful foundation for expanding both our kiosk network and our broader financial commerce ecosystem.”

Herron continued:

“Our vision extends far beyond kiosk deployment. We believe many of these enterprise merchants can ultimately participate in our rewards monetization platform, allowing consumers to convert unused loyalty rewards into spendable cash through the PK Pay app. The combination of physical distribution and digital engagement creates an opportunity we believe is truly transformative for PointsKash, our shareholders, our merchant partners, and our future customers.”

Strategic Growth Opportunity

Rick Sweitzer, Chief Sales Officer of BitCorp Inc., commented:

“After evaluating a number of potential partners, we believe PointsKash has assembled one of the most compelling financial commerce platforms in the market today. The Company’s ability to combine kiosk-based financial services, digital wallet functionality, loyalty monetization, and future financial center opportunities creates a unique value proposition for enterprise merchants seeking innovative ways to engage their customers and increase per store foot traffic .”

“We are excited to work alongside the PointsKash team to help accelerate deployment opportunities across our growing network of enterprise relationships and believe this partnership has the potential to create substantial long-term value for both organizations.”

Looking Ahead

Management believes the merchant pipeline represented by this strategic relationship has the potential to support significant future transaction volume across the PointsKash ecosystem as deployments mature and additional enterprise agreements are secured.

The Company expects to provide additional updates regarding merchant deployments, enterprise agreements, strategic partnerships, and growth initiatives as milestones are achieved.

MARRAKECH, Morocco, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA), an independent and non-political anti-corruption organisation with over 190 member anti-corruption authorities (ACAs) worldwide, will co-host IAACA Annual Conference 2026 in Marrakech, Morocco next month together with the Independent Commission Against Corruption of Hong Kong, China (ICAC) and the National Authority for Probity, Prevention and Fight Against Corruption of Morocco (INPPLC) to chart a path for the global graft fight and explore cutting-edge approaches to tackle emerging corruption challenges.

Themed “Building on 20 Years of Legacy: Drawing Strength from the Past, Guarding Global Integrity for the Future”, the international event will not only mark the 20th anniversary of the IAACA, but also provide a dynamic forum for IAACA members to exchange insights and enhance co-operation.

Calling on international counterparts to participate in the conference scheduled for November 25, IAACA President Mr Woo Ying-ming, who also serves as ICAC Commissioner, said that “As the IAACA marks its 20th anniversary, the conference will bring together global anti-corruption community at a pivotal moment for collective action. I anticipate that the valuable insights and new approaches generated through the international synergy will chart a resilient strategic path for us to navigate integrity risks and draw strength from our shared legacy to guard global integrity for generations to come.”

During the conference, renowned international experts from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Basel Institute on Governance, the International Anti-Corruption Academy, and global anti-corruption and law enforcement agencies and institutions will shed light on harnessing artificial intelligence in the fight against corruption, safeguarding integrity within global climate and biodiversity frameworks and analysing global corruption measurement and systemic effectiveness.

Following the conference, the ICAC, the INPPLC, the IAACA and the UNODC will co-organise a training seminar on leveraging AI in combating corruption.

While the ICAC and INPPLC will share how AI and new technology can reshape the future of anti-graft enforcement and corruption prevention, the UNODC will provide a global perspective on using AI models in financial crime investigations and addressing the operational relevance, legal robustness and adaptability across jurisdictions.

Viettel moves 100 million subscribers to home-grown cloud-native charging in three months – with zero downtime

HANOI, Vietnam, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Viettel High Technology Industries Corporation (Viettel High Tech), part of Viettel Group, has migrated more than 100 million subscribers and some 5,000 tariff plans at Viettel, Vietnam’s largest mobile operator, to vOCS 4.0, its in-house cloud-native charging system. The three-month cutover ran on a live national network with no service disruption.

Replacing a charging system is one of the riskiest projects an operator can undertake, which is why many stick with legacy platforms. Viettel High Tech reduced the risk through real-time data synchronization, parallel running and a phased cutover, with instant rollback at every stage.

The project won the Telecom Review Excellence Awards 2026 prize for Best Technology Deployment in Asia, a first for a Vietnamese company.

What it means for operators:

Scale: more than 300,000 transactions per second at latency below 5 milliseconds, across 2G–5G and fixed services on one platformLower cost: up to 50% less hardware investment than the previous generation, by sharing infrastructure with the networkAgility: new tariff plans in hours instead of days, new features three times faster and deployments about 30% fasterResilience: two active data centers about 2,000 km apart and automatic recovery in under two minutes

Viettel High Tech developed every core layer in-house, from a telecom-grade cloud-native platform and NFV-MANO orchestration to real-time charging, subscriber and balance management.

“Passing rigorous tests of real-time self-diagnosis and self-recovery is what allows an operator to keep its promise of 24/7 service to customers,” said Luu Manh Ha, CEO of Viettel Networks, which operates the system on Viettel’s network in Vietnam. “Above all, owning the charging system means an operator is not dependent on foreign vendors – it safeguards digital sovereignty and preserves business flexibility.”

“The charging system is where an operator’s business strategy turns into revenue in real time,” said Nguyen Minh Quang, CEO of Viettel High Tech. “We believe vOCS 4.0 is ready to help operators worldwide capture the value of 5G and digital services.”

In 2017, vOCS 4.0’s predecessor, vOCS 3.0, replaced a foreign vendor’s platform for 90 million Viettel subscribers. Across both generations, vOCS serves more than 220 million subscribers in 11 countries. Viettel High Tech now offers vOCS 4.0 to operators worldwide.
