Novatti just started making pots of money from its Alipay bill website

Novatti isn’t buying Australian milk to send to China, but has found another way to tap the moneyed Chinese population at home and overseas. The company says its gamble on a payments service for China residents to pay bills in Australia is paying off so well they’re looking at transaction volumes rising from $460,000 in January 2019 to an estimated $700,000 in February. In the December quarter the dollar value of transactions still only averaged $200,000 a month. As to the reasons for the pick-up? Novatti CEO Peter Cook attributed it to an increasing level of trust as the product spends more time on the market. “We think it’s partly […]

A Perth house is going on sale, with investors able to buy a small bit of it for just $82. Australian fintech BrickX buys up investment properties and allows investors to purchase a slice of them by dividing it into small units called “Bricks”. While the idea, dubbed fractional real estate investment, is not new, Sydney-based BrickX took it to retail investors in 2015 at the height of Australia’s property boom when many ordinary folks were priced out of the market. The startup already has properties in Sydney, Melbourne, Ballarat and Adelaide — but this is the first time it has ventured into the Perth market. “It’s no secret that […]

How Blockchain crowdfunding could soon kill off the ICO

The words Blockchain and ICO might go together like sausage and mash but there’s a good reason, it generated nearly $8 billion in funds raised in 2018. Impressive but still only a tiny fraction of the global crowdfunding industry and already this year we’re seeing a sharp decline. Whereas in the traditional crowdfunding arena the odds are better, the industry is expected to hit $300 billion by 2025, with over $34 billion raised to date. Besides the staggering money raised, crowdfunding promotes product innovation, provides access to capital to founders, and leads to job creation. However, there are downsides in the industry. It is reported that nearly 78% of all crowdfunding campaigns fail to […]
