FastFunds Financial Corporation Introduces Smart Debit Card for Cannabis Industry

WEST PALM BEACH, FL--(Marketwired - March 25, 2014) - FastFunds Financial Corporation ("FastFunds" or the "Company") (OTCQB: FFFC) wholly-owned subsidiary, Cannabis Angel, Inc., a company involved in providing financing alternatives, corporate finance and general management consulting services to early-stage cannabis companies and projects, through its 49% owned subsidiary Cannabis Merchant Financial Solutions, Inc. ("CMFS") has reached an agreement to offer smart debit cards specifically targeted for the cannabis industry.

This smart card technology will allow retail store owners to load a custom card with a cash balance. By loading the smart card, the store owner can eventually reduce the amount of cash carried into the store by the retailer's customers.

In addition, the smart card has multifaceted storage capabilities. The card can be used as a customer retention and incentive card. This feature will give the store owner a mechanism to incent the retailer's customers to come back to their store for additional products. Specifically, the smart card will add the following benefits:

  • Unlimited cash load capability on the card
  • Personalized card with the businesses name and logo
  • Reduced cash carried into the store by the retailer's customers
  • Guaranteed return foot traffic to the merchant's establishment
  • Technology advantage over the retailer's competitors
  • Multiple incentive and rewards capabilities with the card
  • State of the art customer retention program

The smart card will continue beta testing in Colorado and several other state retail locations throughout the months of March and April. It is the Company's intention to grow this smart card technology nationwide to assist with the challenge of surplus cash retained in cannabis locations.

The Company looks forward to providing regular updates in the coming weeks ahead.
