MIAMI BEACH, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 29, 2022 / Cuentas, Inc. (Nasdaq:CUEN & CUENW) ("Cuentas"), a leading fintech provider of mobile financial app and payment solutions, announced today it entered an exclusive licensing and transaction sharing agreement and strategic collaboration with The OLB Group, Inc., (NASDAQ: OLB), a diversified Fintech eCommerce merchant services and mobile payment provider. The collaboration and integration with OLB's platform will allow Cuentas to upgrade its Bodega network and help them evolve into financial centers.
Cuentas' collaboration with OLB enables it to provide new Point of Sale ("POS") systems in locations for users to load cash on their Cuentas Mobile App and Digital Wallet amongst other financial mobile apps associated with major US brands.

"We're thrilled to finally say that Cuentas has achieved under contract, the ability to diversify its products under Cuentas.com which serves the current Mobile App, available in Android and IOS. Cuentas.net will serve the mobile payments segment. Cuentas Mobile will serve the mobility customers that will be able to enable their cell phone services under the Cuentas family of products to become their financial services provider," says Arik Maimon, Cuentas co-Founder and Interim CEO. "This collaboration is a major step for the company. It opens new doors for the growth of our services and further exploration into the fintech solution space." He continued, "These crucial relationships are creating opportunities that profoundly expand the company's scope and impact to the underserved segments of the population. I am very proud that Cuentas is one of the only companies in the US that combines those three services bundled into one offering to provide our customers with major incentives and discounts for their day to day shopping as a one stop shop."
"We at OLB Group see the opportunity to expand our merchant services base in a market that we currently don't have a footprint and also provide existing products and services to those bodegas and convenient stores as additional stream for revenues besides the 10,500 merchants that we currently service", stated Ronny Yakov the CEO of OLB Group,
"We are excited that the Cuentas brand will now be present on Point Of Sale (POS) receipts, merchant sale slips and upgraded consumer-facing cash register touch screen displays," stated Michael De Prado, co-Founder and Interim President at Cuentas.
