TORONTO, June 11, 2015 /CNW/ - Midpoint Holdings Ltd.
("Midpoint") (TSXV: MPT) (FSE:8MH), the world's first authentic
peer-to-peer ('P2P') international foreign currency and payments
platform, is pleased to announce that it has won the award for
"Best P2P Currency Matching Platform" at the 2015 Acquisition
International Business Excellence Awards.
The Midpoint platform provides its customers with access to
multi-party, multi-currency transactions and removes the impact of
currency rate spreads, as well as the hidden costs and fees imposed
by traditional banks and brokers, saving its customers money. The
Business Excellence Awards recognises the ingenuity and hard work
of the Midpoint team over the past 12 months and seeks to highlight
and celebrate the outstanding performance and results achieved by
some of the industry's leading lights in a competitive market.
John Booth, Chairman and CEO
of Midpoint, said: "This is our second award in three months
and one we are very proud to have won. As the first truly
authentic international peer-to-peer payments platform, winning
this award is very gratifying for us. There is growing
recognition, including from major organisations such as Goldman
Sachs, that international B2B payments represents a major market
opportunity for disruptive financial technology providers, so
having Midpoint's multi-party, multi-currency P2P matching platform
singled out as being at the forefront of the industry is very
important."
Speaking about the winners, Awards Coordinator, Nathan Angell, said: "Midpoint's success is
testament to the amazing work they put in to achieve great results
for their clients while really setting the standards for what can
be achieved in their sector."
