Strategic Acquisition Accelerates Deployment of AI-Enabled Financial Centers Across Enterprise Pipeline Representing More Than 100,000 Commercial Locations Nationwide

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PointsKash, Inc. (“PointsKash” or the “Company”), a rapidly emerging financial technology company developing one of North America’s most comprehensive integrated financial services ecosystems, today announced the successful acquisition of more than 2,100 cryptocurrency kiosks through the recent Bitcoin Depot bankruptcy proceedings.

The acquisition represents Phase One of the Company’s National KashPoint™ Infrastructure Rollout, providing PointsKash with a significant installed hardware platform that will be transported, refurbished, technologically upgraded, and redeployed throughout the United States to support the Company’s rapidly expanding commercial enterprise partnerships.

Once redeployed, the kiosks will become KashPoint™ Financial Centers—AI-enabled self-service financial kiosks designed to integrate with the Company’s rapidly expanding fintech ecosystem, including PK Pay™, PointsKash’s next-generation mobile financial application currently anticipated to receive app store approval for public launch at the beginning of Q4 2026.

Together, the KashPoint™ kiosk network and PK Pay™ mobile platform will form the cornerstone of the Company’s integrated financial ecosystem, delivering consumers seamless access to digital banking, ATM services, bill payment, domestic and international money transfers, cryptocurrency transactions, loyalty rewards, digital wallets, merchant payment technologies, financial services, and future AI-powered financial applications.

The refurbishment and national deployment initiative will be managed by Bibbeo Ltd., a leading provider of ATM and self-service financial equipment lifecycle management solutions. Bibbeo will oversee transportation, inspection, refurbishment, hardware modernization, inventory management, warehousing, quality assurance, staging, and nationwide deployment operations.

“This acquisition is transformational for PointsKash,” said Michael Herron, President & Chief Executive Officer of PointsKash. “We are not simply acquiring kiosks—we are acquiring the physical infrastructure that will help power one of the nation’s most ambitious fintech deployment strategies. By combining our AI-enabled KashPoint Financial Centers with our upcoming PK Pay mobile platform and expanding financial services ecosystem, we are creating a unified omnichannel experience that we believe will redefine how consumers access everyday financial services.”

Herron continued:

“Equally important is our complete confidence in Bibbeo. Miles Power and his team have been a trusted strategic partner to PointsKash for more than two years, and there is no organization we trust more to execute a deployment initiative of this scale. Their operational expertise, disciplined execution, and deep industry experience provide us tremendous confidence that these kiosks will be transformed into enterprise-ready financial centers capable of supporting our aggressive nationwide growth plans.”

The refurbishment initiative will be led by Aaron Hurst, Warehouse Manager of Bibbeo Ltd.

“We’re excited to continue building on our partnership with PointsKash and support this initiative. Our team has already begun preparing the operational framework to efficiently transport, refurbish, modernize, warehouse, stage, and deploy these kiosks,” said Miles Power, CEO of Bibbeo Ltd. “Our organizations have spent years building a trusted relationship, and our teams have already begun preparing the operational framework necessary to efficiently transport, refurbish, modernize, warehouse, stage, and deploy these assets. We look forward to helping bring the PointsKash vision to life and delivering the level of quality and execution both of our organizations expect.”

The refurbished kiosks are being earmarked for deployment across an expanding pipeline of commercial enterprise pilot programs being developed through PointsKash’s strategic commercial enterprise sales partnership with BitCorp, Inc.

Together, PointsKash and BitCorp have been actively engaging many of the nation’s leading commercial enterprise organizations spanning hospitality, convenience retail, grocery, gaming, travel centers, specialty retail, and other high-volume consumer sectors.

These enterprise relationships collectively represent more than 100,000 potential deployment locations throughout the United States.

“The level of interest we are seeing from enterprise organizations continues to accelerate,” said Barry Van Scoten, Chief Executive Officer of BitCorp, Inc. “The acquisition of this kiosk fleet significantly strengthens our ability to execute multiple commercial pilot programs with nationally recognized enterprise organizations. We believe these pilots will validate the value proposition for both merchants and consumers while creating a clear pathway toward much larger national deployments over the coming years.”

PointsKash intends to establish multiple enterprise pilot programs by Labor Day, with deployments continuing throughout the balance of 2026. These pilots are expected to evaluate operational performance, consumer adoption, merchant engagement, transaction volume, and financial performance prior to broader commercial expansion.

Successful pilot execution is expected to position the Company to launch Phase Two of its National KashPoint™ Rollout, significantly expanding deployments throughout its growing enterprise merchant pipeline.

Unlike traditional ATM operators, PointsKash is building an integrated fintech ecosystem where self-service financial centers, mobile banking, merchant technologies, loyalty rewards, cryptocurrency services, enterprise software, and AI-enabled consumer financial solutions operate together as a unified platform.

This integrated strategy enables consumers to move seamlessly between physical and digital financial experiences while providing enterprise merchants with expanded financial services, new customer engagement opportunities, and diversified revenue streams.

“Our long-term vision extends well beyond deploying kiosks,” Herron added. “We are building one of the nation’s most comprehensive integrated financial technology ecosystems. Every strategic acquisition, every enterprise partnership, every software innovation, and every pilot deployment moves us closer to becoming a leading provider of intelligent financial solutions throughout North America. We believe this infrastructure creates tremendous long-term value for our customers, our enterprise partners, and our shareholders.”

As PointsKash continues executing its aggressive expansion strategy through strategic acquisitions, enterprise partnerships, proprietary software development, AI integration, and nationwide deployment initiatives, the Company remains focused on establishing itself as one of America’s premier fintech platforms serving consumers, merchants, financial institutions, loyalty organizations, and enterprise partners.

New website helps parents get kids active and reduce their screen time

By

CALGARY, AB, Sept. 21, 2026 /CNW/ — Active for Life today launched ItsChildsPlay.ca, a free website that shows parents how to get their kids moving and off their screens.

The World Health Organization identifies physical activity as essential to health and well-being from the earliest years. Science finds that play builds executive function, social skills like negotiation and cooperation, motor development, and the ability to regulate stress and anxiety. Yet most Canadian children and youth fall well short:

80% do not get the recommended two hours of daily active play.63% do not get the recommended 60 minutes of daily physical activity.

Parents know these facts, but many remain uncertain about how to get their children moving, especially so when overwhelmed with the struggle to limit their children’s screen time.

ItsChildsPlay.ca provides practical solutions that show parents how easy it is to engage in fun activities with their children at home without costly equipment, struggle or stress.

ItsChildsPlay.ca was created by Active for Life, a web-based initiative that helps educators and parents build active play into children’s lives. The site is being promoted with a series of radio ads across Canada, with help from the Pro Bono Group.

Quotes

“For fifteen years, parents have been telling the Active for Life team that getting children to engage in active play is hard. We understand the challenge,” said Richard Monette, who leads Active for Life. “This is why we built ItsChildsPlay.ca: a resource for parents that’s easy to use, takes minutes a day and is good for their child’s body and mind.”

Fall brings increased demand for short-distance travel among commuters and families, from daily commutes and local errands to weekend outdoor activities. Compared with driving, electric scooters offer a practical alternative for shorter journeys, helping riders save money on gas and on parking while avoiding traffic jams and making everyday trips more efficient.

With a broad product lineup, the Ausom Fall Sale campaign supports various riding needs, including daily commuting, recreational rides, and more demanding travel conditions.

Beyond the L2 Max Dual Motor, the campaign also highlights the DT2 Pro and Gosoul 2 Pro Dual Motor, offering additional options for riders looking for different levels of performance and versatility. For outdoor enthusiasts requiring greater range and performance, the DT2 Pro off-road e-scooter stands out with a 71-mile range, 2,912W of peak power, and a top speed of 40 mph. Building on the L2 Max Dual Motor’s practical feature set, the DT2 Pro upgrades the braking system to hydraulic disc brakes with E-ABS for stronger stopping power and better control.

The Gosoul 2 Pro Dual Motor e-scooter provides an affordable entry into high-performance dual-motor riding, making it an ideal choice for riders new to this level of performance. With 2,800W of peak output, a top speed of up to 36 mph, and the ability to handle inclines of up to 33%, it is a capable electric scooter for short trips, tackling hilly routes and varied terrain during fall outings. The 56-mile range supports short-distance round trips, and its foldable design allows it to be combined with public transportation for greater travel flexibility.
