AppTech Regains Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Compliance

AppTech Payments Corp. (AppTech) (NASDAQ: APCX), a Fintech company powering commerce experiences, today announced that it has successfully cured the Nasdaq minimum bid price deficiency. Nasdaq has informed AppTech that its Panel has determined to continue the listing of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market and is closing the matter.

AppTech has regained Nasdaq compliance as it has had a closing bid price of above $1.00 per share for 10 consecutive business days. That requirement was met on January 3, 2023.

AppTech CEO, Luke D'Angelo states, “As we continue to grow our business model going into the new year, we are working towards value for our shareholders. In addition to expanding our team, we also have expanded major opportunities with exciting new B2B relationships that will soon be announced. With a strong balance sheet, coupled with our exceptional product and leadership teams, we are well-positioned to successfully execute our plans to become the premier Fintech SaaS platform powering high-conversion, immersive, commerce experiences for businesses and their customers worldwide.”

AppTech was also recently viewed on Fox business as one of the best long-term companies to have in your five-year stock plan, seen here: http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/6317511890112/.
