BitMinutes Announces Partnership With RED DE EFECTIVO, Creating Massive Footprint in Colombia

Roswell, Georgia, June 18, 2018 (Newswire.com) - BitMinutes Inc., a blockchain technology company and creator of BitMinutes, the first prepaid cell phone minute token (BMT token), announces a partnership with RED DE EFECTIVO, one of Colombia’s largest financial institutions. It is a provider of domestic money transfer services as well as prepaid cell phone minutes to millions of Colombians.

The deal dramatically increases BitMinutes’ footprint in South America, where the BitMinute token can be used as currency to buy goods and services, as well as issue micro-loans as low as $5. This partnership forwards the company’s goals to provide low-cost financial services to the world’s two billion under-banked consumers.

We've been working on this deal for a long time. Now that we have a distribution blueprint, more partnerships will follow, especially in Latin America.

Tom Meredith, CEO, BitMinutes Inc.

RED DE EFECTIVO has agreed to market and promote BitMinutes money transfer services and support financial inclusion and microlending to their network of over 20,000 partners nationwide. The project will be operational in late June, with a pilot roll out in July.

“We’ve been working on this deal for a long time,” said BitMinutes CEO Tom Meredith. “Now that we have a distribution blueprint, more partnerships will follow, especially in Latin America.”
