Qwikwire’s 2018 Highlights

2018 has been an amazing year for the company, achieving greater heights, milestones and bringing more talented individuals to the team. So before the year ends, here are some of the highlights and key points that happened in the company in the past 12 months.

Business Development

The Business Development team has been constantly thinking and creating new ways to innovate and strengthen Qwikwire’s payments capabilities, resulting in a partnership with Satoshi Citadel Industries (SCI), a cryptocurrency Fintech company. This partnership will greatly increase our partners’ potential customer reach and tap a previously overlooked market as customers can now pay using Bitcoin and Ethereum for their real estate fees.

We also added a new banking partner, Unionbank. This is instrumental to further increase our payout and settlement capacity to better serve our enterprise partners.

Lastly, we see that the Philippines is now transitioning into a cashless society through the use of mobile wallets. That is why we partnered with GCash, the brainchild of Globe and the leading mobile wallet carrier in the country.

Sales

It is also a very productive year for the Sales Team as we continue to on-board more client partners.

A total of 13 new client partners, both locally and internationally, are now on-boarded on Qwikwire. These real estate developers are not only across the Philippines but also countries in Southeast Asia, from companies based in Metro Manila to as far as Thailand and Malaysia.

Some of which are:

• Ayala Land’s Avida project.
• Revolution Precrafted: The Philippines’ first unicorn start-up and spear-headed by Mr. Robbie Antonio.

• Double Dragon: one of the Philippines’ fastest growing real estate developer.

• And Forest City: a $100B project in Malaysia and the world’s largest green city development

Tech Development

The Tech Development Team also experienced a lot of developments, improvements and product launch in the last 12 months.

One of the major highlights is the beta launch of our newest and most ambitious project to date: AQWIRE, a Global Property Marketplace powered by Blockchain. This led us to hire five more additional people to help build the project both part-time and full-time, from Full-stack developers and UX Strategists to Blockchain Programmers. The team also developed the AQWIRE Bot that gathered a little over 15,000 members in our telegram community.

Simultaneously, the team has been actively making improvements in all Qwikwire payments platforms to streamline all products and processes to better serve our client partners.

Marketing

The Marketing Team has been actively coming up with new campaigns and strategies to entrench the company and the brand deeper in the Fintech and real estate space.

This led us to participate, organize, and sponsor 70+ events that took the team in different places, not just locally but internationally as well. With 25 events held outside the Philippines, the team went to different countries such as Canada, Indonesia, London, Thailand, and the US to name a few.

Content production also ramped-up. As over 50 articles published and 17 originally produced videos highlighting different partnerships, competitions won and the events attended were created.

All of these efforts from the different departments led to achieving the highest numbers to date: a total of $20M USD in payments processed and an average of $2M USD in monthly volume. With an average revenue of a little over 5%, the company sustained its profitable status.

So what’s in store for next year?

Qwikwire is gearing up to hit $60M USD or ₱2B PHP in payments volume and release new products and services across different platforms such as mobile wallets, enterprise, and user dashboards and local payments processing.

With a clear plan of execution for every department, deeply motivated by a single goal: be the largest cross-border payments platform in Asia, even when faced with unexpected setbacks and undesired incidents, this goal will be attained, this target will be attainable.
