HOW TO JOIN THE LOCAL PARTNER TEST PROGRAM

When does the Local Partner test program commence?

We launch our test program for Local Partners on 1 June 2018.

How do I become a Local Partner tester?

Please email Darren Olney-Fraser at dof@tigereum.io or message him on Telegram @darrenof if you are interested in participating.

What is required of Local Partners testers?

To register as a Local Partner tester, we need you to provide Identity Verification and we will do a PEP/Sanction check. You must be over 18 years old. You must not be from a sanctioned country.

Once registered, you will be given access to our Local Partner Admin Portal. This will have new and unique Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tigereum wallets set up automatically for you to use.

You will need to set up your own local currency bank account for all your Tigereum transactions (payments in/out through our Community Platform)

A Security Deposit of 20,000 TIG will ordinarily be required in a separate digital wallet we create for you on your Local Partner Admin Portal, however we will waive that requirement during the test period

All Tiger Transfer transactions must go through our Local Partner Admin Portal. You must use the digital wallets we set up for you, you must use the bank account you set up for this purpose, and you must log all cash transactions.

Transactions are capped by the Admin Portal at US$10,000 worth of TIG per day across all channels

You need to have enough Tigereum in your TIG wallet to support any Tiger Transfers you create. You can get more TIG whenever you need it from any of the exchanges where Tigereum is listed

We will monitor and audit Local Partners testers to ensure compliance with our Community Rules

Local Partners testers will pay us 2% of the value of all Tiger Transfers they create

Legal Requirements

Local Partners testers need to comply with our Community Rules, Privacy Policy and Code of Conduct

Local Partners testers need to use the Standard Terms for the contract between themselves and a Community Member when creating or redeeming a Tiger Transfer

Our Community Rules, Privacy Policy, Code of Conduct and Standard Terms will be published on our website shortly

Local Partners testers need to be aware of and satisfy their own local laws and regulations

We will not tolerate abuse of our Community Platform for fraud, money-laundering or terrorist financing

Will there be more than one Local Partner in each county?

After the test program is completed, we aim to enrol as many Local Partners as possible in each country so that our Community can grow quickly and be serviced locally.

The barrier to entry for Local Partner is very low, and our model is very scalable. It will be possible to be a Local Partner with not much more than a mobile phone to do the work of a Local Partner by accessing our Admin Portal.

In underbanked countries, where cash is used to create and redeem Tiger Transfers, we would hope to have many Local Partners in key cities and regional towns so that anyone can join our Community and be serviced locally by our Local Partners.

Will there be any territory or exclusivity?

No, Local Partners will not have any territory or exclusivity within their country, but they must only operate in their own country in their local currency.

Local Partner Groups

We encourage groups of Local Partners to form.

We anticipate this model will suit existing distribution networks in some countries, especially underbanked countries.

If you choose to set up a group, we will deduct an additional 1% fee from the Tiger Transfers created by Local Partners in your group and pay that to you in Tigereum.

WE HOPE YOU WILL JOIN OUR LOCAL PARTNER TEST PROGRAM

We launch our test program for Local Partners on 1 June 2018, and it will run for a month.

We are offering 5000 free TIG to the first Local Partner tester in each country, which will be contributed to your security deposit wallet.

We will be required to have the full 20,000 TIG security deposit in your digital wallet by the end of our test period (1 July 2018).

Also, please let us know if you are interested in setting up a Group of Local Partners in your country.

Please email Darren Olney-Fraser at dof@tigereum.io or PM him on Telegram @darrenof if you want to join our Local Partner Test Program
