Quarterly Activities Report
Melbourne, April 29, 2016 AEST (ABN Newswire) - iSignthis Ltd (iSignthis or the Company) (ASX:ISX) is pleased to provide the following business update and Appendix 4C for the quarter ended 31st March 2016.

The quarter ending 31 March 2016 marks the 12-month anniversary since listing as iSignthis Ltd (ISX). The Company continues to make significant steps forward in its quest to be the market leader in providing dynamic, online and rapid identity verification services covering 51% of the world's population and allowing AML/CTF obligated businesses operating out of any FATF cooperative jurisdiction to meet their compliance requirements.
The Company's focus is now on commercial processing of end users for existing customers, and very shortly, new customers. The management team is focused on ensuring that transactions are processed promptly and correctly, the transaction ledger balances with the monies settlement accounting, and that the identity process meets regulatory requirements together with customer expectations. This approach is critical as our process replaces the low volume, manual KYC approaches in use today, and relies upon convergence of our automated identity process with conventional high volume payment processing technologies.
The Company has thus adopted a conservative, incremental approach, with customer end user load being applied over a period of months, due to the highly regulated sectors in which we operate.
Typically, we would expect that new customers will each take a period of 6-8 weeks to optimise (at low volumes of end users), prior to a gradual ramping up of end user volumes across a period of several more weeks to months to full load. This is prudent as not only do our customers rely upon iSignthis for payment processing, but also for identity management, the former of which is sensitive commercially, and the latter being a mandatory regulatory requirement for our customers to commence and continue operations.
Product Strategy
Since listing as iSignthis Ltd, the business has continued to evolve and develop its product range and services available to obligated financial institutions. Fundamental to our business model is the patented solution in delivering identification services (KYC) to AML/CTF obligated businesses. This online, dynamic and new 21st Century solution provides the scale, volume and revenues required for a sustainable business. ISX is also able to replace existing fragmented processes experienced by our customers via a single API.
Whilst our focus is on AML Regulated sector businesses, or service range, our capability has been extended to encompass the complete payment and identity requirements faced by online business.
ISX solutions assist online business by substituting multiple vendors and processes;
- Payment Gateway
- Card acquiring & bank(s)
- AML/CTF KYC data
- AML/CTF KYC manual back office team
- Anti-fraud / payment authentication
- Transaction monitoring
The ISX solution now spans multiple products and will generate further revenue streams with financial, compliance and operational benefits for our customers. ISX is a unique offering creating a 'sticky' customer relationship benefiting both parties.
