October 31, 2018 Dana Salzarulo HOT PENNY STOCKS Comments Off on $ECRD ECARD INC, a Quiet Micro-Float Stock with a Good Story

 

  • Only 78,500 available shares to be traded as of 10/11/2018
  • Parent company has $1.5 in real estate property assets
  • First batch of ECARDS released to VIP members early October
  • Initial focus on Asian Travelers

In the Penny Stock world, investors have various “hot buttons” and some absolutely love a good “micro-float” stock and its uncanny potential for volatility. Sure, some like sub-penny stocks (stocks that trade under .01), certain sectors such as bio-techs, cannabis, mining or cryptocurrency and some stick to big board stocks because they can’t handle the risk and are comfortable with minimal volatility, but ECRD is a great one for those that love risky plays due to their lack of shares available to the public to trade (only 78,500 shares) so if an influx of BUY orders came in and created demand, the market makers just don’t have the supply available, ultimately creating a price spike in the stock. The funny thing is, of that 78,500 shares, that count is NOT the float. The float is the number of available shares available to be traded minus shares that an insider or group of shareholders are holding and will not sell. This means the float, which is NOT AVAILABLE on OTCMarkets.com (see below) could be much less than an already miniscule number of 78,500 shares. What makes them even better is the fact they have a legit business and story about them, making them an ideal candidate as a potential hot runner once the investment community catches wind.

WHAT IS “FinTech”?

Fintech, a portmanteau of ‘financial technology,’ is used describe new tech that seeks to improve and automate the delivery and use of financial services. ​​​At its core, fintech is utilized to help companies, business owners and consumers better manage their financial operations, processes and lives by utilizing specialized software and algorithms that are used on computers and, increasingly, smartphones. When fintech emerged in the 21st Century, the term was initially applied to technology employed at the back-end systems of established financial institutions. ​Since then, however, there has been a shift to more consumer-oriented services and therefore a more consumer-oriented definition. Fintech has expanded to include any technological innovation in — and automation of — the financial sector, including advances in financial literacy, advice and education, as well as streamlining of wealth management, lending and borrowing, retail banking, fundraising, money transfers/payments, investment management and more. Fintech also includes the development and use of crypto-currencies such as bitcoin.

ECARD IS IDEAL FOR TRAVEL TO ASIA

U.S. travelers bound for Asia will soon be able to purchase UnionPay prepaid cards issued by Global Bank and marketed by ECARD, a financial services technology company based in New York.

UnionPay cards can be used at over 51 million merchants worldwide – including 100% of merchants that accept payment cards in China. The reloadable general-purpose cards provide U.S. citizens an ideal way to conveniently pay for things in Asia and track spending in U.S. dollars.

Some 5.7 million people visited Asia from the U.S. in 2017 – a 7.2 percent increase from the previous year – according to U.S. Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration and National Travel and Tourism Office (NTTO).

UnionPay cards are now accepted in 169 countries and regions. Upon return to the U.S., the cardholder can use any remaining funds on the card at millions of U.S. merchants.

“ECARD allows one-time or regular travelers to Asia to enjoy the convenience of card payments in restaurants, hotels, ATMs, gift shops at cultural attractions and just about anywhere payment is accepted,” said Wayne Tsao, Chief Executive Officer of ECARD. “Asian-Americans who visit the Pacific countries regularly for business or personal travel can return time and again with their card and not worry about making special arrangements. There is no need to transfer funds out of the account as UnionPay is widely accepted at U.S. merchants and ATMs.”

ECARD will be available starting in the third quarter of 2018. At that time, U.S. consumers can open an account online and service the account via an application downloaded onto a mobile device. Funds can be added to general purpose reloadable cards online or at retail locations.

“With its broad utility in Asia, smart travelers will get and load a UnionPay card before visiting the region,” said June Chen, General Manager-Americas, UnionPay International. “That way, the traveler doesn’t need to worry about having cash available.”

The UnionPay ECARD is issued by Global Bank of New York pursuant to a license from UnionPay International Co., Ltd.
