OTTAWA, Oct. 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ackroo Inc. (TSX-V: AKR; OTC:AKRFF) ("Ackroo" or the "Company"), a gift card and loyalty marketing technology and services provider, today announced that its gift card, loyalty and promotional currency application will be one of the first third-party applications released on First Data Canada's new Clover Flex app market. First Data Canada, a division of First Data Corporation (NYSE:FDC), recently launched the revolutionary android-based Clover Flex point of sale solution. This integration will allow any First Data Canada merchant who chooses to select or switch to Clover, the ability to download the Ackroo gift card, loyalty and promotional currency application at the click of a few buttons. These merchants will be able to setup and self-deploy themselves on Clover eliminating the need to contact Ackroo sales and operations staff, which will not only speed up the time to begin using Ackroo's application, but will also remove the setup costs associated today with using Ackroo's platform. The advancement is a big win for First Data merchants, but also a big win for Ackroo as they enter the self-serve sign up market for SMB merchants.
"Building a self-serve signup product for our growing SMB merchant base is a key priority for Ackroo," said Steve Levely, chief executive officer at Ackroo. "As we enter our next phases of growth, reducing the effort required to support the selling and on-boarding of small to medium sized merchants is important for the Company. Merchants that use Clover can access the Clover app marketplace to identify and download the Ackroo application and effectively self-deploy. Since merchants will self-setup they will avoid regular Ackroo setup fees and will have access to a free initial trial of the technology. We see value not only in redirecting our sales and operational efforts towards larger or more complex merchant types, but also in reducing the cost to switch to Ackroo by extending a freemium version of the product to merchants. This advancement combined with Ackroo being the first gift card and loyalty provider on Clover in Canada positions the Company and our partner First Data Canada for great success in the years ahead."
"We are thrilled to welcome Ackroo to the Clover Canada app marketplace as one of our first third-party apps and to satisfy our merchant's requirement to consume a leading gift and loyalty application via the Clover Flex device," said Brian Green, President at First Data Canada. "Our Clover Flex launch brings First Data's tremendous payments innovation to Canada. Flex is the first device to offer LTE, Wifi and counter-top capabilities all in a single device and to include smart technology for the consumption of apps that are important to business operators. Ackroo has been a well-regarded partner of First Data Canada for some time and is a great compliment to the Clover platform."

OTTAWA, Aug. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ackroo Inc. (TSX-V: AKR; OTC: AKRFF) (“Ackroo” or the “Company”), a gift card and loyalty marketing technology and services provider, has received approval from the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) in cooperation with Export Development Canada (EDC) to increase their current revolving line of credit from $200,000 to $350,000. The increase is being underwritten by EDC following a review of the Company’s current financial position and its planned expansion into the United States. The facility bears an interest rate of RBC’s prime plus 2%.
“Expansion of our credit facilities are important next steps for Ackroo and our shareholders,” said Steve Levely, Chief Executive Officer at Ackroo. “Now that the Company is delivering positive EBITDA, we have many more options for accessing additional capital. Instead of relying on equity-based capital or other more expensive debt options to fund our growth, this facility offers non-dilutive capital with a favourable interest rate. We first looked to EDC to underwrite our increase in our line of credit because of our plans to further penetrate the US market. Today only 8% of our total revenues come from the US and we expect this number to more than double in the next 2 years. EDC’s mandate is to help Canadian companies expand into foreign markets and so we are very happy to receive their support. This is just the first small step in our relationship with EDC. As we begin this next chapter of Ackroo, leveraging these types of facilities will allow us to grow further and faster while protecting the interests of the Company and our shareholders.”

My EMA analysis is very bullish. $AKRFF is going to take off!!
Volume and price move today.
No news from Roy. He is still talking but not saying anything about the future. All we can do is wait.
I believe the debt holders would be holding the IP at this point. Not sure though.
I invest with two other people in micro cap stocks that have potential significant upside. At one point we thought ATTD was going to rocket upwards. We still hold a significant position and there is limited communication with Roy.
If Roy can get his act together quickly we still believe there is money to be made over the long term. It is all up to Roy right now. This company either makes it or goes broke based on his action or inaction.
No, I visited that site a few times but never joined.
I still do. Roy just has to put out the financials and he will be good to go. When that will happen I don't know. I have been invested in this stock since 2010. I haven't sold one share.
I am not sure what the hold up is. Lets just let things play out. We have no choice. We can't sell the shares and take a loss.
Web site is still up.
https://www.attitudebrands.com/
What do you mean Gratitude Foods starting to show up here?
$ATTD
Interesting that Straub is still involved. But what does Roy bring to Grätitude Foods?
$ATTD
I think Roy is going a different direction. That is why I suggested calling and researching the people he is partnering with. Maybe they can shed some insight into what is going on. I believe all of the WOB franchises are now traded under the HVCW symbol, I'm not sure on that. Maybe there is some info at that message board that will assist you.
I personally think Attitude Drinks is done. For Roy to be involved in a new venture he must have sold the company because he has no money. He has nothing. Why would someone partner with him unless he had some money to bring into the new venture. I don't know if Gratitude Foods will trade under the ATTD symbol or not.
All we can do is speculate at this point. Until we get some filings we know nothing unless we can find someone willing to talk.
$ATTD
I still haven't sold a share and don't plan on it anytime soon. Have you read this article?
https://www.bevnet.com/news/2017/industry-vets-take-cancer-gratitude-foods
Contact the people in it. Research them. Something might happen I don't know. I don't know what Roy can bring them. He has drink formulas but he has no money. If he sells the drinks formulas he can make some money so then is he an investor in the new company? I don't know. I haven't had a chance to do any research on anyone else involved in Gratitude Foods. Something is going to happen. Somebody has been buying a ton of shares of ATTD. I don't even know if the reverse split is still active or if Roy has to do a new filing. Hopefully we will find out soon enough.
$ATTD
Didn't Roy file for the r/s years ago? Is it still active? Why doesn't Roy try to pump some news out and get this even higher and then r/s?
I would like to know who is trying to keep the price at .0002? Seems very strange to me.
It could be a money maker. Look at Friday's volume 4,876,221. Why would someone buy that specific number of shares? Why not just buy 5 million? Then I have to ask myself why would a market maker want to be messing around with these shares right now? I just find it odd no filings or anything for over a year and tens of millions of shares have been traded in the last few months.
I would love to know who is buying these shares and why are they buying them?
If Roy no longer owns anything shouldn't have there been some type of filing with the SEC?
I have no idea if he is making money. We have to wait until the fillings come out. I hope they come out soon.
Roy put out a filing today with HVCW. It isn't much but it could be the start of something.
Roy won't even talk about the pubs he opened with Glenn Straub. Nothing has been filed so we don't know what is going on with them. I can't say it is over with ATTD because I just don't know.
If you're selling your shares I would love to know who is buying them.
Roy hasn't said anything about the company lately. He hasn't declared bankruptcy, so that is a positive. I would like to know who has been buying shares and why? Somebody might know something but it isn't me.
Did you research who $HVCW partnered with? Billionaire Glenn Straub. Glenn just might be using this partnership to get at the whole thing. I don't know. I do know he loves real estate.
It is a hedge fund in Lichenstein that owns those shares. There are convertible notes that are due right now. This is just the beginning of the dilution.
As a long in $HVCW I can tell you that the CEO is not rich. His home is in foreclosure and he hasn't been able to pay his employees in years. I am hoping his partnership with billionaire Glenn Straub will bring good news one day.
Let him know everything you know before he invests more money with Roy. I'm sure he would appreciate it. $attd
You might want to call billionaire Glenn Straub and let him know. $attd
I don't think Attitude and Genesis are working with each other anymore. I would write another email and confirm. $ATTD
