Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - 11 June, 2026 - FintechWerx International Software Services Inc. (CSE: WERX) (“FintechWerx” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the launch of MerchantWerx 2.0, an enhanced merchant onboarding and partner management platform developed to support merchants, independent sales organizations ("ISOs"), agents, payment service providers, financial technology companies, and other channel partners.

The launch follows the execution of a License and Services Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated June 1 2026, with Secure Digital Payments Corp. (“SDP”), an arm's length party, pursuant to which FintechWerx has obtained the rights to market, distribute, sublicense, integrate, and support SDP's merchant onboarding and partner management technology globally in mutually agreed jurisdictions.

MerchantWerx 2.0 builds on FintechWerx's existing onboarding capabilities by adding a broader set of tools for merchant application management, identity verification, business validation, document collection, underwriting support, electronic signatures, communication tracking, multilingual onboarding, white-label deployment, configurable workflows, and partner administration.

Under the Agreement, FintechWerx has been granted a non-exclusive and non-transferable licence to market, distribute, sublicense, and integrate the technology into third-party products and environments and to provide support services to customers utilizing the platform. SDP will continue to provide maintenance, support services, platform enhancements, and future modifications to the technology.

The Agreement provides for an initial term of one year with automatic one-year renewal periods unless terminated in accordance with its terms As consideration for the grant of the License, the Licensee shall issue to the Licensor, Eighty Five Thousand and Sixty Two  (85,062)  common shares (each, a “Share”) in the capital of the Licensee equal to USD$50,000 divided by the 10-day volume weighted average price of the Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”), or such other stock exchange that the Shares may be listed at the time of issuance, for the 10 trading days prior to the date of issuance, subject to such other price as may be required by the policies of the CSE, with such Share issuance due on the first date of the Term and the first date of any subsequent Renewal Terms.

The launch of MerchantWerx 2.0 represents the next step in FintechWerx's merchant enablement strategy, expanding the Company's ability to support the full onboarding lifecycle from application intake and verification through underwriting, approval, activation, and ongoing partner management.

Merchant onboarding remains one of the most fragmented operational processes within the payments industry, according to George Hofsink, Co-Founder and CEO of FintechWerx.

“By expanding our onboarding, compliance, underwriting, document management, and partner administration capabilities, we are giving merchants and payment partners a more complete operating layer,” says Hofsink. “That strengthens our ability to support growth across the FintechWerx ecosystem.”

With the introduction of MerchantWerx 2.0, FintechWerx has expanded its merchant enablement capabilities beyond traditional onboarding into a more configurable platform for merchant acquisition, compliance administration, underwriting support, document lifecycle management, and partner-led growth.
