Alpha Modus (NASDAQ: AMOD) Secures Exclusive National Rights to Deploy CashXAI's AI-Driven Financial Kiosks—Aimed to Serve 60M+ Underbanked in America

CORNELIUS, N.C., July 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpha Modus Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: AMOD), an innovator in AI-driven retail solutions, today announced a landmark agreement with CashXAI, Inc. and CashX, LLC, granting Alpha Modus exclusive nationwide licensing rights to deploy and monetize all CashX kiosks and mobile applications across the U.S.—superseding all prior deals.

This sweeping agreement empowers Alpha Modus as the sole fulfillment arm for all of CashX’s existing and future contracts in the U.S.—unlocking a rapid-deployment pipeline and opportunities spanning up to 20,000 U.S. locations over the next 3 to 5 years and representing over $20 million in monthly recurring revenue potential at full scale.

“This is a game-changing moment,” said Chris Chumas, Chief Sales Officer of Alpha Modus. “This exclusive license allows us to execute at scale—potentially delivering vital financial services to the 60 million+ underbanked households in America with speed, reach, and efficiency.” Chumas continued, “The CashX kiosk will now serve as the centerpiece of our partner ecosystem, enabling us to further develop and integrate our patented retail technologies alongside other innovative retail solutions.”

Highlights of the agreement include:

- Perpetual license to CashX’s core intellectual property, with the option to expand globally within 18 months

- Integration of Alpha Modus’s AI patents to enhance analytics, ad targeting, and revenue generation

- Takeover of existing CashX contracts across thousands of locations

- Capital commitment by Alpha Modus up to $2 million to accelerate nationwide rollout

“This isn't just a licensing deal—this is vertical AI-led integration across fintech and retail,” added Chumas. “It’s a strategic revenue engine, and we believe it dramatically amplifies our long-term value proposition to shareholders.”

The CashX Platform is targeted to deliver mission-critical services including check cashing, remittances, bill pay, mobile top-up, crypto access, gift cards, and more, to the underbanked—via both kiosks and mobile.
