> hello -
>
> below my notes from the call yesterday. two questions that come to mind:
>
> 1. JV partnership - can you tell me what is involved, in terms of financing / responsibilities / etc - as i start talking with my brother about interest.
> 2. do you have models on what you are doing in other countries that you can share?
>
> thanks,

> fred, e-plata backround:

> started from a previous business idea, where the need for consumer payments via digital platform became v apparent
> began in mexico, with pilot program, partner in mexico: miguel aleman magnani
> europe, SEA and w africa are next
> paradox: most end users have devices (ex, peru has 130% mobile penetration rate, which is equivalent to 3 devices pp), but the gap is in the users inability or unwillingness to transact on the device
> e-plata provides a multi-currency digital wallet, allowing for peer to peer transfers, bill paying, to the unbanked and undeserved
> e-plata serves as an in-house partner for institutions, allowing flexibility, creativity and nimbleness

> bhd is the 2nd largest and most profitable bank in the DR, working with various mobile and internet systems, cash management, payroll, remittances, etc
> bhd has had many projects trying to tap into the unbanked market
> the DR is a heavily regulated market - need to comply with on all fronts, regulations are highly enforced since 2003-2004; very compliant-oriented
> central bank contact: fabiola herrera, all payment mechanisms go through her advisory group
> ex: VIVUS, e-loans to unbanked market; compliance group looked into the details, noticed high rates for loans, and pro-consumer agency complained. NOT allowed in DR.
> daniel gutierrez, BHD colleague from colombia, jorge to speak with him as he’s been working on a few things as well on this end for bhd
