Midpoint Holdings Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MPT) ("Midpoint" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the launch of its updated platform. The Company has recently migrated to a new enterprise grade platform after nine-months of intensive planning and development. The new proprietary platform delivers enhanced features and benefits to Midpoint clients as well as significant improvement in the Company's operational efficiency.

The new platform introduces:

• Full treasury system with multi-currency e-Wallets
• Mass pay-out functionality
• Multiple users for both personal and business accounts
• Improved beneficiary management
• Multiple beneficiary payments from a single FX conversion
• Multiple FX conversions consolidated into a single currency beneficiary payment
• Integration with Xero cloud accounting software
• Real-time fees and indicative rates calculator
• A seamless on-boarding and registration process

"Our refreshed platform will provide a far greater level of scalability and a much-improved user journey. Additionally, the delineation of FX Conversions and Payments processes increases the flexibility and functionality available to our customers when managing their cross-border payments and foreign exchange requirements. We have completely rebuilt all the Application Program Interfaces (API's) to maximize the connectivity with our suppliers including enhancing our KYC/AML compliance processes," said David Wong, CEO of Midpoint.

"We have listened to our customers and many of our new client-facing features and streamlining of the user journey have been largely influenced by our customer's valuable feedback. With clients in over 52 countries and a 85% repeat usage rate, we are very conscious that we must deliver a solution that reflects a clear understanding of the needs of a global client base," Wong added.

"We will continue to release further functionality that will benefit our clients over the coming weeks and months. It has been over three years since our last major platform release and we have now moved towards a continuous delivery model with rapid software release cycles," added Brad Lemkus, Operations Director.
