VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FOBI AI Inc. (TSXV: FOBI) (OTCQB: FOBIF:) (the “Company” or “FOBI“), a leader in providing real-time data analytics through artificial intelligence to drive customer activation and engagement is pleased to provide shareholders with the following corporate update for Passcreator by Fobi.

SIGNIFICANT GROWTH IN REVENUE AND # OF CUSTOMERS FROM Q1 2021 TO Q2 2022
The number of Passcreator by Fobi paying customers grew from 119 in Q1 of 2021 to 170 in Q1 of 2022, an increase of 43%.  At the same time, revenue grew even faster at 48%, showing the increase in enterprise clients.

PASSCREATOR BY FOBI IS NOW SERVICING 4 OF THE TOP 10 GLOBAL INSURANCE COMPANIES
Passcreator by Fobi is experiencing continued success and momentum, and its Insurance Pass product offering continues to gain market share with the mobile proof of insurance product offering. The company has onboarded an additional 3 key global insurance companies to their roster in Q1.  Passcreator has also signed several additional new Insurance company deals already in Q2 to provide digital proof of auto insurance. Fobi now serves 4 of the top 10 global insurance companies and, as a result, has issued tens of millions of Insurance Passes worldwide.  

EVENTS AND DIGITAL TICKETING DRIVING NEW LINE REVENUE
With the successful launch of Check Point and immediate product validation by way of back-to-back top-tier high profile deployments (High Profile Awards Show in the US and Large US Stock Exchange) the company has parlayed this early success into numerous significant event deployments in Europe. These successful deployments are highlighted by the Monaco Formula E event that was held on April 30, 2022. As for the awards show in the US, several significant upgrades in functionality were made both to Passcreator by Fobi as well as the SmartScan app in order to satisfy the demanding needs of the awards show, and these upgrades are now being used by other customers globally improving the customer experience.  

PASSCREATOR COMPLETES QPLES INTEGRATION FOR DIGITAL 8112 COUPONING
With the integration of Passcreator by Fobi’s Wallet pass platform and the Qples by Fobi coupon platform now complete, digital couponing through the mobile wallet is now a reality.  Qples customers can now deliver coupons through browsers, the Grocery Coupon Network and now Passcreator Wallet passes, making Fobi the only company in the world able to deliver coupons through all 3 of these channels (see the recent press release about this).  

LOYALTY SET TO LAUNCH WITH COMPLETION OF SEVERAL KEY LOYALTY INTEGRATIONS
Loyalty is also playing a key role with the addition of stamp cards to the Passcreator loyalty solutions portfolio.  There are also some key ongoing loyalty integrations that the Fobi Development team is currently working on to further strengthen the Passcreator by Fobi Loyalty ecosystem, delivering additional value for Passcreator customers and their customers end users.  The mobile wallet pass is the next evolution in customer loyalty as it is an app-less solution, unifies all existing IT and provides a truly personalized user experience that is powered by data. 

Also, as companies are now cognizant of and focused on their social and environmental footprint, replacing and digitizing the current paper and plastic loyalty member cards helps with the reduction of a company’s carbon footprint, which benefits the environment. 

Fobi CEO Rob Anson states, “The diverse applications and value as to what the Passcreator platform has become is everything of which I knew we were acquiring and so much more. Passcreator is rapidly becoming a key standalone platform for leading enterprise and insurance customers and is a key strategic piece of the Fobi Retail Ecosystem that we are building by connecting Passcreator with the new 8112 Mobile Standard coupons from Qples by Fobi. As the world is becoming digitally enabled and focused, our tech stack and our various product offerings could not be better positioned and relevant for today’s environment and set for continued success and rapid growth.”
