Introduction

Who We Are

TechPay Mobile Payment Systems™, headquartered in Dana Point, California, is a software development company.

TechPay™ has developed SwiftPay™, a revolutionary, proprietary mobile platform designed specifically for grocery stores and supermarkets to benefit both the consumer and the merchant.

Our product SwiftPay ™, is a software solution that integrates into a merchant’s retail system, helping to streamline the shopping process and save consumers time and money.

This new standard of technology is not just a "Wallet" but a complete Point of Sale (POS) system. “SwiftPay” ™ allows consumers to enter their personal loyalty cards, make a shopping list and scan manufacturer coupons from newspapers, magazines or mailers. Once logged in with a vendors loyalty card, “SwiftPay” ™ shows discounts to the consumer, in real time via their mobile device (apps available in both iOS and Android at no charge). With one simple scan, the entire checkout process is complete.

Our primary customers are retail businesses that accept credit cards and/or debit cards; and consumers, most specifically, moms.

TechPay is proud to have Kathy Ireland as our Brand Ambassador.  Kathy has been a longtime advocate for women, with Associated Press calling Kathy, “best friend to working moms”. Kathy’s mission statement is “finding solutions for families, especially busy moms”. And, SwiftPay is one of the ways busy moms are able to streamline grocery shopping and save money all at the same time!

The kathy ireland brand is listed as the 31st most powerful brand globally, by License Global Magazine, with annual merchandise sales of $2 billion, according to Forbes Magazine.  Kathy has been named #33 on Forbes 2015 Inaugural List of America's 50 Richest Self-Made Women.  Kathy gracefully balances the roles of wife, mother, author, humanitarian, activist and Chief Designer and CEO of kathy ireland Worldwide.

SwiftPay™, processes credit cards/debit cards, sends transactions via email, and saves all sales data for both consumer and retailers. In addition, the system provides scan statistics, which can analyze all sales using a private web portal, giving the retailer insight into the buying patterns of each customer. And, no specific device or merchant terminal is required; it can run on any system as it is software based.

There are three different ways to shop with a mobile device. 1. scan items and create a QR code with payment information that was entered on the website or APP. Then checkout using a pin and basket is saved and email receipt sent. 2. the cashier scans item and uses the "pay now" button on app they chose payment option. 3. Scan, Pay and Go. Consumer doesn’t have to see a cashier at all. Merchant can see sales, scan data and run banner campaign from their portal.

TechPay™ offers retailers the ability to customize and create a Mobile Payment system for any company, along with banner ad capabilities, which can be considered as an additional source of revenue.

Market Overview

The “Mobile Space” is a surging enterprise, and experts anticipate within the next five years, most retailers will transition to mobile payment systems.

According to a recent Statistica.com report, there are approximately 184.2 million current smartphone users in the U.S. It is estimated by 2020 there will be 220 million smartphone users.

A 2015 Statistica.com report identified there are 2 million retail businesses in the U.S. Of that 2 million, 110,000 are chain stores, and 37,716 are grocery stores, all who can utilize and benefit from m-commerce.

According to the new edition of Deloitte’s annual Technology, Media & Telecommunications (TMT) Predictions report, in-store mobile payments will increase by more than 1,000% worldwide this year with 5% of the world’s smartphones being used to make a payment in a store at least once a month, up from under 0.5% in mid-2014.

2015 will be the “first year in which the multiple prerequisites for mainstream adoption — satisfying financial institutions, merchants, consumers and device vendors — have been sufficiently addressed”, the authors conclude.

There has been a tectonic shift in the way consumers spend their time online. In October 2014, 52% of the time consumers spent online occurred within smartphone and tablet apps, according to new data provided exclusively to Internet Retailer from web and mobile measurement firm comScore Inc. 40% of online time was spent in web browsers on desktops and laptops and 8% spent in web browsers on smartphones and tablets. https://www.internetretailer.com/2014/12/10/mobile-apps-dominate-time-consumers-spend-online .

The global smartphone audience surpassed the 1 billion mark in 2012 and was estimated to total 1.75 billion in 2014. eMarketer expects smartphone adoption to continue on a fast-paced trajectory through 2017. Nearly two-fifths of all mobile phone users—close to one-quarter of the

worldwide population—used a smartphone at least monthly in 2014. By the end of the forecast period, smartphone penetration among mobile phone users globally will near 50%. - See more at: http://www.emarketer.com/Article/Smartphone-Users-Worldwide-Will-Total-175-Billion-2014/1010536#sthash.ch7q41RX.dpuf.

NCH Marketing Services, Inc., an international coupon processing company, says that 77 percent of all US households use coupons (particularly in markets where their value is doubled). It is a common misconception that only lower income shoppers use coupons to save money. In fact, a recent survey by NCH Marketing Services revealed 75 percent of customers in all income brackets use coupons sometimes, with the highest rate of coupon clippers, 82.9 percent, having an income of $25,000 - $50,000.

NCH Marketing Services, conducted a telephone survey of 1,000 consumers and found:

• Three out of four shoppers use coupons.

If a consumer loses their credit card(s) or their wallet gets stolen, it is a major issue. They have to call to cancel their cards, check statements, wait days or weeks to get new cards and cannot do anything until a new one is received. Using one of TechPay Mobile Payment Systems, card information is stored on your phone. If a phone is lost or stolen , data can be erased and a new phone issued the same day, and all data restored.

Payment and application of coupons through mobile devices is the future. The numbers are rising. 16 % of businesses will add MPOS in the next year. Mpos will replace existing POS systems.

Competitors

TechPay Mobile Payments Systems™ is the only offering of its kind, and has determined there are currently three mobile payment companies considered competitors:

Apple Pay™ Is a way to pay, B2C consumers use their mobile device to pay for products. Apple Pay requires an NFC enabled device and NFC enabled terminals. It is just a way to pay.

Square™ Is a B2B company and predominately has customers that are small business and do fewer transactions at a time. Square is a way to pay and B2C.

LevelUp™ is for restaurants and other businesses. Their mobile app is used for check out/paying purposes only. A way to Pay LevelUP ™ is B2C.

Marketing Plan

As mentioned previously, Kathy Ireland has been named TechPay’s™ Brand Ambassador.  Our marketing and advertising campaigns will include Kathy on various initiatives.

TechPay™ is different than most mobile payment systems, as it is more of an Mpos system. Our goal is to be the first to integrate our platform into grocery stores, and co-market with retailers and processors through in-store advertising, Facebook, Twitter, other social media, and where applicable, joint advertising with merchants on television and newspaper.

We will partner with NCR to integrate into two of NCR’s Pos systems v 6.1 and 6.2. There are currently 1500+ stores running ACS-IR and 2000+ running ACS Base.  Once integrated, TechPay™ would own the intellectual property/software update.

As part of the partnership with NCR, they will give TechPay™ the names and contacts of stores who use the system. This would be certified and free to retailers.

Once these plans and processes have been successfully implemented, we will move forward with other POS companies to do the same. And, partner with major retailers and credit card processors.

In addition, TechPay™ will develop enhancements for its mobile apps to include reward programs and enhanced shopping experiences and add new technologies as they are developed.

Positioning

As a provider to retail stores and consumers, TechPay Mobile Payment Systems ™ will position itself as The Leading Mobile Payment System for Grocery and Retail stores.

Pricing

Price will vary for each retailer based on the number of stores, POS system in place, and capabilities of retailers’ current platform. The APP is free for the consumer.

Promotion

With Kathy Ireland as Brand Ambassador, Ms. Ireland will be part of the marketing and promotions of TechPay Mobile Payment Systems™ and SwiftPay™, which will include but is not limited to: television; advertising in retailer stores; social media (e.g. Facebook; Twitter); retailer co-marketing; in-store advertising; partnerships with credit card processors; press releases; eMagazines; Tradeshows, and Trade magazines.

Page 7: Tech pay executive summary  10 27-2015

Joint marketing and awareness campaigns will also be put in place with partner, WorldPay, including joint marketing materials and press releases.

DistributionTechPay™ will partner with small to large retailers to license SwiftPay™ product. Distribution will be based on the number of locations per retailer/license.

The Future

TechPay™ intends to leverage the SwiftPay™ platform to create additional Mobile Payment Systems for various retail businesses including the following:

Gas stationsRetail department storesPet storesFast food drive thrusDine in restaurants Parking meter paymentsConvenience stores

Generation of Revenue

The following is based on a scenario, for which TechPay™ has been in discussions with, a mid to high end grocery store, with an approximate revenue of $2 million per month.

A percentage fee of each debit/credit card and check sale transaction will be collected and we will receive a monthly residual from the credit card processor. Using Authorize.net as our virtual gateway will also generate a monthly residual based on volume of sales. Revenue is estimated to be approximately $10,000 per grocery store per month.

Additional revenue will be generated by charging license, maintenance and integration fees to the merchants.

Revenue will also be generated by running banner ads on the consumer app, targeting vendors such as Proctor and Gamble™, and Kellogg™, etc., to have exclusive advertising on the APP. This can create an additional estimated revenue of $10,000 per store per month.

We will integrate into each retailer system separately, and because each is unique, the cost will vary.

As stated earlier, the Application is free for the consumer.
