Weyland Tech Announces Entry in Mobile Wallet & Advances Joint Venture Discussions With Korean eSports Company

HONG KONG, CHINA — (Marketwired) — 11/02/17 — Weyland Tech, Inc. (OTCQX: WEYL) (“Weyland” or “Company”), a provider of mobile business applications, announced today that it is entering the digital payments marketplace with a mobile wallet platform and is in joint venture discussions with Funtasy Entertainment (“Funtasy”), a leading provider of eSports content and fantasy games in South Korea.

“I am delighted to be announcing these two major initiatives today in eSports and digital payments. They are exciting growing parts of the digital economy that present huge opportunities for Weyland. are expected to grow to $1.5 Billion in the next three years. And in Indonesia alone, where our mobile wallet will be developed, total transaction volumes in digital payments are over . That–s just one country within our CreateApp footprint; once it–s fully deployed we–ll bring the mobile wallet components into CreateApp in the US, Europe, and the rest of our markets,” commented Weyland CEO Brent Suen announcing the news.

According to Capgemini–s 2017 World Payments Report, “Financial inclusion measures in Emerging Asia will fuel high growth rates of non-cash transactions, particularly in India, Vietnam, and Indonesia, as mobile and other forms of digital payments are deployed.”

Weyland Tech–s mobile wallet will be called AtozPay, which means “complete” pay in local languages and will be branded as AtoZ Pay in Weyland–s other markets as deployed. Weyland is bringing on a team experienced in mobile wallet development to build the platform.

The Company is in the process of formalizing the structure of local operations and securing regulatory approvals. Mr. Suen noted, “Our local counsel has been great in helping us get ready to be in this space; effectively there is a part of the company that will be a bank.”

“The mobile wallet is also a part of, and complementary to, our eSports initiative where we are discussing a joint venture with Funtasy Games to provide digital payments capabilities for their platform,” said Mr. Suen.

Weyland and Funtasy are also exploring near term opportunities for deploying Weyland–s CreateApp platform to Funtasy–s users as a –white-label– app that enables daily fantasy sports for a new, younger eSports audience on a gamified platform that will differ radically from the current draft fantasy sport market offerings.

Funtasy Games provides gamified daily fantasy draft games for the mobile and PC platforms in the Asia market, and will be launching their first mobile app in Q2 2018 based around several of the world–s leading eSports titles. Funtasy and Weyland are also in discussions to launch and publish their titles for the non-Asia international markets.

Funtasy–s CEO, Jerome Park, comments, “Weyland is well positioned to enter the eSports market as their user base is highly complementary to eSports with similar demographic profiles.”
