Glance Announces New App Version With Enhanced Events, Promotions, and User Initiated Payments


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glance Technologies Inc. (CSE:GET) (OTCQB:GLNNF) (FKT:GJT) is pleased to announce the release of a new version of the Glance Pay app (already available for iOS, coming soon for Android) which provides expanded promotional and deal features, enhanced event functionality, and new user initiated payment capabilities.

The enhanced promotional functionality allows customers to redeem offers and discounts set by the retailer via a digital deals found directly on the Glance Pay app, reducing the need for costly traditional paper deals, coupons, and expired email offers, while at the same time offering flexibility and creativity for deals that are not feasible via traditional methods.

Groupon (market cap $2.31 billion) has demonstrated that there is massive demand for digital offers and the power they have to drive sales for businesses.  Glance is taking digital deals to the next level with mobile technology and using it to build long lasting relationships between consumers and merchants instead of one-off transactions.

The enhanced event functionality makes it easier for consumers to find out about events occurring with their favorite nearby retailers.  This geo targeted advertising allows merchants cost effectively reach consumers and drive them into their locations.

The user initiated payments enhancement allows users to initiate payments to any merchant on the Glance platform, which combined with Glance Pay’s other functionality, positions Glance’s product in a way similar to those that have been taking Asia by storm.

According to a report released by the UN-based Better Than Cash Alliance, users sent $1.7 trillion in total payments through Alibaba’s Alipay service last year, up from only $70 billion in 2012; Tencent’s WeChat users sent about $1.2 trillion in 2016, up from $11.6 billion in 2012.



“We view this release as a significant upgrade of our technology and we are excited to share it with consumers,” says Glance CEO Desmond Griffin. “As we continue to innovate and improve our technology, we believe our offering becomes increasingly compelling to consumers and merchants.”
