Modern Technology Allows Finance and Media Companies to Offer New Possibilities

NEW YORK, March 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumer trends are constantly changing with the development of the technology industry. Technology has reshaped the way people interact with daily activities such as communication, food, education, business, and specifically, finance and the integration of advanced technology into finance, also known as financial technology, now allows consumers to send or receive digital monetary transactions through enabled devices like computers and smartphones. Consumers can now simply pay for products and services in the palm of their hands. Financial technology uses computers, or other complex technologies, to support or enable, banking and financial services such as digital payment solutions to advance and develop. A large majority of banks, insurers and investment managers have already invested in financial technology, while others are still expected to enter into the sector within the next three to five years. Specifically, with the continued adoption of financial technology, companies can expect a 20% average return on investment on their innovation projects as technologies such as infrastructure-based technology through platformification and open application programming interfaces (APIs) are reshaping the industry. Meanwhile, robotic process automation (RPA), chatbots, and Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) are enabling faster, more efficient and accurate services. Additionally, the development of the technology will prompt consumers to shift towards digital-based transactions, further promoting the total growth value in transactions. According to Mordor Intelligence, the global financial technology market is expected to witness a CAGR of 8.6% over the forecast period from 2019 to 2024. Codebase Ventures Inc.

The innovative use of technologies now allows fintech providers to deliver low-cost personalized products, which has a significant impact on customer approval and satisfaction. Specifically, personalized products retain consumers, as well as mount pressure against traditional payment providers. And overall, the increasing rate of consumers using digital platforms has resulted in total digital transactions amounting to USD 3.40 Trillion in 2018. Moreover, the data projects that total transactions will grow at a CAGR of 13.2% by 2024. In particular, the digital commerce segment alone accounted for USD 2.87 Trillion in 2018, which signifies that consumers are transitioning from brick-and-mortar shopping to e-commerce. "Back then, FinTech was mostly around vendors and about companies' ability to build technology and sell it to financial services organizations," said Matt Harris, Managing Director at Bain Capital Ventures, "The beginning of modern FinTech began roughly 10 years ago during the global financial crisis, which convinced the incumbents that they were fighting for survival. This provided a great deal of room for innovators to build businesses. In the most recent phase, which has taken place over the past five years, the incumbents have gone from ignoring startups to fully recognizing the threat of technology-enabled, entrepreneurially-led competitors."

Codebase Ventures Inc. BKLLF CODE is also listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker CODE. Earlier today, the Company announced breaking news that, "its wholly owned subsidiary, Pressland (pressland.com), has released plans to build a first-of-its-kind data management platform (DMP) to help fight fake news.

"We're building an enterprise service for global media companies, social media networks and other third parties fighting the spread of misinformation online," said Jeff Koyen, Codebase's Chief Strategy Officer. "This is a highly scalable, disruptive technology that will serve the public interest by stopping the spread of fake news."

The Brooklyn-based company is using artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) to analyze around-the-clock global news output. This proprietary process (currently in alpha) will yield a vast, unique data source that can be used to identify misinformation before it spreads online.

Pressland's commercial licenses will serve everyone fighting fake news — from international tech companies to local news outlets.

"We're thrilled to have recognized Pressland's globally disruptive potential at the earliest stage," said George Tsafalas, Codebase's CEO. "Our investment in time and capital are proving to be well-spent, and we expect Pressland to far exceed our expectations when it comes to market this year."

Planned revenue streams include enterprise-grade data licensing, paid tools for media professionals, subscription fees and trade intelligence services. An additional application layer will provide commercial resources for third-party developers building their own products to fight fake news.

Pressland is led by Codebase's Jeff Koyen, a seasoned media executive, entrepreneur and technologist who has worked at Forbes, Dow Jones, Digiday and Travel + Leisure. His team includes engineers, journalists and advisors who have worked at the world's largest tech, media and marketing companies, including Google, BBC News, the Pulitzer Center, CNN, Bloomberg, Casper, McCann, Viacom and The Washington Post. Pressland's CTO, Nicholas Zaillian, is assembling a team of top AI and NLP experts based in New York, Israel and Mountain View, CA.

The Company estimates it will cost up to USD $1 million for engineering and development costs for the platform over the next two years.
