Further Notice From KinerjaPay Corp. Regarding Its New Investment
The Company is following proper U.S. banking procedures in order to maintain its compliance in all aspects with U.S. Federal Banking Regulations
NEW YORK, January 30, 2019: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE. KinerjaPay Corp., a Delaware corporation (OTCQB: KPAY), a digital payment and e-commerce platform, ("KinerjaPay" or the "Company") announced today that the Company has filed a Form 8-K report with SEC updating the disclosure in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 8, 2019. The Company reported on the January 8, 2019 Form 8-K its acceptance of a subscription from a major Indonesian investor, the Wahana Group, for $200 million for newly authorized shares of Series F and Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, convertible at $1.80 per share, subject to a 9.99% blocker. The Company further reported that it expected to close the Wahana investment within 10 days.
However, due to the complexity of the United States Federal Bank Regulations, the Company is still in the process of establishing a new Business Bank Account to accommodate an investment of this size, which requires U.S. Banks to not only apply enhanced “Know Your Customer” rules but also “Proof of Funds Source” rules. Over the past two weeks, the Company’s Executive Officers have met with several major Banks in New York to open one or more Business Bank Accounts for KinerjaPay, a public reporting company with the SEC, to facilitate the acceptance of the $200 million investment.
Since the adoption of the Patriot Act, and for sound reasons, U.S. Banking Regulations require significant additional Due Diligence as a prerequisite before opening a new Business Bank Account with a deposit of this size, with a greater degree of background checks, which we now understand may take up to 14 additional business days or more. To date, the Company’s Executive Officers have provided the several U.S. Banks with all documents believed to be necessary, including the Proof of Funds from our investor from a major world-wide bank funds from London, as proof of the investor’s ability to fund this investment in our securities.
The Company CFO, Mr. Windy Johan, commented about the current status of opening the new Bank Account(s) stating: “Because of the size of this new investment from an Indonesian investor, we have been engaged in providing several U.S. Banks in confirming that the investment funds were from bona fide sources and Proof of Funds from a major international bank with headquarters in London and world-wide. The Due Diligence process resulted in the delay from our original estimate of 10 days. We believe that we are well-along with satisfying the Due Diligence required to establish one or more new banking relationships to accept the SWIFT transfer from our investor for $200 million.”
Mr. Edwin W. Ng, the Company’s CEO & Chairman, also commented that “We are in the process of opening Business Bank Accounts to accommodate the $200 million international investment.” Mr. Ng further commented that “We want all of our investors and the public markets to understand that the Company is following proper U.S. banking procedures in order to maintain our compliance in all aspects with U.S. Federal Banking Regulations.”
When asked to comment about the ongoing process of funding its investment into KinerjaPay, a representative from Wahana Group, Mr. Rio Chandranegara, commented “We remain confident and committed to subscription arrangement with and our belief in the potential of KinerjaPay. We understood that KinerjaPay’s Executive Officers are expediting our investment by providing the U.S. Banks with all supporting documents in order to accommodate our investment as quick as possible, and we are here to fully-support KinerjaPay until it is done”.
The Company expects to conclude the investment from Wahana Group and receive the committed funding within the next 14 to 30 business days.
