Partnership with Brazilian Software Developer WeDev reduces payment transaction times from days to hours for Global importers to Brazil and for Brazilian exporters
Solves Significant Bottleneck currently limiting International Trade by offering staged financing for freightage, taxation, and compliance
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 1, 2024 / NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 1, 2024 / Sparta Commercial Services, Inc. (OTC PINK:SRCO) ("Sparta" or "The Company") announces that its subsidiary Agoge Global USA, Inc. ("Agoge USA"), in partnership with WeDev Group Ltda. ("WeDev" or "WeDev Group") has launched its new integrated Blockchain-based platform, EZBroker 360, that significantly improves and simplifies the ability of businesses to conduct international trade in the Brazilian market.
The new platform is the product of a joint venture with WeDev, a Brazilian innovator in software and blockchain development. The platform utilizes stablecoins and blockchain technology to decrease costs and improve the speed of these international transactions. After a significant investment of time and resources, Agoge is pleased that the platform is now live and is processing transactions for both U.S and Brazilian based businesses.
"Brazil offers tremendous potential as an import/export market, but slow payment settlements and currency risk have made it a challenging market," said Anthony Havens, CEO at Sparta. "By combining our existing platforms, expertise and networks, Agoge USA and WeDev have created an import/export platform, with industry standard AML/KYC compliance procedures in place, that solves the problems of slow payment transaction times and the high costs that are limiting trade in Brazil. In addition to these two large impediments, our technology also mitigates many other risk factors facing importers and exporters making it much simpler and more efficient to do business with Brazil."
Despite being the largest economy in Latin America and the ninth largest in the world, the country is only the 26th largest importer and exporter. It is believed that under more ideal circumstances, the Brazilian import/export market could experience rapid growth and greatly exceed its estimated current $590 billion value according to Santander Trade.
"We're thrilled to announce that our new import-export product has overcome significant hurdles, not in the realm of technology, but in the complex areas of tax, compliance across multiple jurisdictions and stringent regulations from central banks and tax authorities," said Eduardo Ribeiro, WeDev Group CEO. "After extensive pilots and rigorous testing of various blockchain infrastructures, we have developed a robust model that promises the scalability required to serve importers and exporters effectively. This innovation will reduce friction and provide greater predictability in cash flow, enhancing negotiations with suppliers and customers."
