ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

1 ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

a) Organizational History

On May 12, 2016, Innovative Payment Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“IPSI” or the “Company”) (originally formed on September 23, 2013 under the name “Asiya Pearls, Inc.”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Qpagos Merger Agreement”) with Qpagos Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Qpagos Corporation”), and Qpagos Merge, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Qpagos Merger Agreement, on May 12, 2016, the merger was consummated, and Qpagos Corporation and Merger Sub merged (the Qpagos “Merger”), with Qpagos Corporation continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger. On May 27, 2016, the Company’s name was changed from “Asiya Pearls, Inc.” to “QPAGOS”.

Pursuant to the Qpagos Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Qpagos Merger, each share of Qpagos Corporation’s capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted into the right to receive two shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Additionally, pursuant to the Qpagos Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, the Company assumed all of Qpagos Corporation’s warrants issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, which were exercisable for an aggregate of approximately 621,920 shares of Common Stock as of the date of the Qpagos Merger. Prior to and as a condition to the closing of the Qpagos Merger, a then-current holder of 500,000 shares of Common Stock agreed to return 497,500 shares of Common Stock held by such holder to the Company and such holder retained an aggregate of 2,500 shares of Common Stock. The other stockholders of the Company retained 500,000 shares of Common Stock. Therefore, immediately following the Qpagos Merger, Qpagos Corporation’s former stockholders held 4,992,900 shares of Common Stock which represented approximately 91% of the outstanding Common Stock.

The Qpagos Merger was treated as a reverse acquisition of the Company, then a public shell company, for financial accounting and reporting purposes. As such, Qpagos Corporation was treated as the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes while the Company was treated as the acquired entity for accounting and financial reporting purposes.

Qpagos Corporation was incorporated on May 1, 2015 under the laws of the state of Delaware to effectuate a reverse merger transaction with Qpagos, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“Qpagos Mexico”) and Redpag Electrónicos S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“Redpag”). Each of the entities were incorporated in November 2013 in Mexico. Qpagos Mexico was formed to process payment transactions for service providers it contracts with, and Redpag was formed to deploy and operate kiosks as a distributor. 

On June 1, 2016, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) changed the Company’s fiscal year end from October 31 to December 31.

On November 1, 2019, the Company changed its corporate name from “QPAGOS” to “Innovative Payment Solutions, Inc.” Additionally, and immediately following the name change, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a reverse split of the then outstanding Common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-10, effective on November 1, 2019 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each ten pre-split shares of Common Stock outstanding automatically combined into one new share of Common Stock without any further action on the part of the holders, and the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reduced from 320,477,867 shares to 32,047,817 after rounding for fractional shares.

On December 31, 2019, the Company consummated the disposal of Qpagos Corporation, Qpagos Mexico and Redpag in exchange for 2,250,000 shares (the “Vivi Shares”) of common stock of Vivi Holdings, Inc. (“Vivi. or “Vivi Holdings”) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 5, 2019 (the “SPA”). Of the 2,250,000 shares of Vivi, nine percent (9%) was allocated as follows: Gaston Pereira (5%), Andrey Novikov (2.5%), and Joseph Abrams (1.5%). The transactions contemplated by the SPA closed on December 31, 2019 after the satisfaction of customary conditions, the receipt of a final fairness opinion and the approval of the Company’s shareholders. As a result, the Company no longer has any business operations in Mexico and has retained its U.S. operations, currently based in Carmel By The Sea, California.

On June 21, 2021, the Company acquired a 10% strategic interest in Frictionless Financial Technologies, Inc. (“Frictionless”). Frictionless delivered to the Company, a live fully compliant financial payment Software as a Service solution for use by the Company as a digital payment platform (which was subsequently branded as IPSIPay) that enabled payments within the United States and abroad, including Mexico, together with a service agreement providing a full suite of product services to facilitate the Company’s anticipated product offerings. The Company had an irrevocable right to acquire up to an additional 41% of the outstanding common stock of Frictionless at a purchase price of $300,000 for each 1% acquired.

On August 26, 2021, the Company formed a new subsidiary, Beyond Fintech, Inc. (“Beyond Fintech”), in which it owns a 51% stake, with Frictionless owning the remaining 49%. Beyond Fintech acquired an exclusive license to a product known as Beyond Wallet, to further its objective of providing virtual payment services allowing U.S. persons to transfer funds to Mexico and other countries.

On May 12, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement with Frictionless (the “May 2023 Frictionless Agreement”) to unwind the equity ownership stakes that the Company and Frictionless have in each other and in Beyond Fintech. Pursuant to the May 2023 Frictionless Agreement: (i) the Company assigned to Frictionless all common stock of Frictionless owned by the Company; (ii) the warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock previously issued by the Company to Frictionless as of December 30, 2022 was cancelled; (iii) the Company assigned to Frictionless all shares of common stock of Beyond Fintech owned by the Company (the “Beyond Fintech Shares”); and (iv) the rights previously granted to the Company to (a) acquire additional equity interests in Frictionless, (b) participate in future financings of Frictionless and (c) appoint a board member of Frictionless, were terminated. The consideration to the Company for the assignment of the Beyond Fintech Shares to Frictionless was a credit against potential future services to be provided by Frictionless to the Company in an amount up to $250,000. As a result of the novation agreement with Frictionless discussed below, the Company no longer utilizes, and does not expect to utilize, the services of Frictionless for the foreseeable future. The collectability of the remaining credit receivable of $231,431 was impaired.

On August 30, 2023, the Company implemented a 1 for 30 reverse stock split of its Common Stock. Unless the context expressly requires otherwise, as used in this Report, all share and per share numbers reflect such reverse stock split.

On September 5, 2023, the Company’s entered into a novation agreement whereby it assigned all its rights and interest in its e-wallet product, IPSIPay, and its receivables and payables due from and to Frictionless, related to IPSIPay, to a third party in order to concentrate all of its efforts on the IPSIPay Express LLC (“IPSIPay Express”) joint venture. See note 1(b) for further information.

On October 29, 2025, the Company formed a limited liability corporation, Jetties Partners, LLC (“Jetties”), d/b/a IPSIPAY. Jetties was formed to develop, market, distribute and operate a merchant processing payment solution, with an initial focus on the gaming industry. Jetties consists of two 50% partners, the Company and Brant Point Solutions, LLC (“BP”). The Company issued 200,000,000 shares for its 50% interest in the joint venture, while BP will provide access to and full utilization of technology that may be owned, licensed or controlled by BP, including but not limited to all agreements between BP and United Payment Systems LLC, as well as its presence in the gaming markets.

b) Description of current business

The Company is a fintech provider of digital payment solutions presently focused on credit card processing services for undeveloped and underserved markets. We have in the past (under the name IPSIPay) and may in the future develop and operate “e-wallets” that enable consumers to deposit cash, convert it into a digital form and remit funds quickly and securely.

We expect that revenue will be generated by Jetties through fees derived from merchant processing fees, money transfer fees, and commissions on international bill payment processing.
