mPOS Global is a financial services, merchant services aggregator and mobile payment company based in Panamá. The company markets several software and hardware payment products and will soon expand into financing programs for small business throughout Latina America. It allows individuals and merchants in Latin America to accept offline debit and credit cards on their mPOS Global payment device and/or iOS/Android smartphone or tablet computer. The application software supports manually entering the card details or swiping the card through the mPOS reader, a Bluetooth device supported by smartphone or tablet that reads both magnetic stripes and EMV chips. An mPOS (Mobile Point-of-Sale) is a wireless device (i.e dedicated reader, smartphone, tablet) that performs the functions of a cash register or electronic point of sale terminal. mPOS Global solutions allow service and sales industries to conduct financial transactions in place, improving the customer experience and freeing up valuable real estate that would otherwise be dedicated to a POS countertop. An mPOS can also be cost-effective, allowing a small business owner to conduct transactions without having to invest in an electronic register or pay someone to support the software. Low-cost hardware and software let small merchants throughout Latin America get started easily and continue accepting cards with minimal monthly fees. For more information www.mPOSGlobal.com

PT Compliance has successfully developed and implemented the PTC-Safe Harbor Cannabis Banking Platform, the 1st and only Legal and Compliant Cannabis Banking Program in the USA. It is a subscription-based-only banking program built for the needs of businesses connected to the legal cannabis industry. We specialize in helping State-Chartered Financial Institutions provide fully compliant bank accounts to any legal Cannabis-Related Businesses (CRBs). With the PTC-Safe Harbor Cannabis Banking Platform, whether you are a grower, wholesaler, retailer, extractor, edibles manufacturer, transport provider or an ancillary business associated with cannabis, you can bank just like any other business owners. This means check writing, debit cards, money wires, armored-car pickup and payroll, so CRBs no longer carry the risks associated with operating a cash-only business. The PTC-Safe Harbor program was originally developed by a local Credit Union in CO, specifically for financial institutions. Since 2014, it has taken in billions of dollars in cash deposits from legal CRBs. PT Compliance has developed a a new fully automated and compliance platform, and we are now offering both State-Chartered Financial Institutions and CRBs the opportunity to be part of our nationwide network.

drvn is a private ground transportation and logistics company, with a global network of chauffeurs and private security capabilities. Basically? We specialize in executive transportation - less stuffy than “black car service”, or “private chauffeur service” but that’s what it is. Ironically, the ‘stuffy’ is becoming a preferred alternative travel method to air and rideshare. Convenience (leave when you want), and health safety (social distanced and sanitized) are now basic and essential factors when traveling today. For more information or to try the drvn experience for yourself, check out drvn.com.
