POSaBIT Provides Update on PIN Debit Processing

POSaBIT Systems Corporation (CSE: PBIT, OTC: POSAF) (the “Company” or “POSaBIT”), a leading provider of payments infrastructure in the cannabis industry, today provided an update on its PIN debit processing solution. Recently, there has been an industry-wide decrease in debit acceptance rates caused, in part, by the removal of certain payment rails. As a result, industry-wide PIN debit acceptance rates have declined to an unacceptable level of approximately 30-40%. While the Company is optimistic that acceptance rates will be restored to historical levels of 90%+ in the near-term, there is no set timetable for such restoration and there can be no assurance that such historical acceptance rates will be restored.

Due to these events today, the Company is currently working with its customers to discuss alternatives, including the option to migrate to the Company’s other offered payment solutions to minimize impacts to in-store payment processing.
