ARLINGTON, Va., March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OwlTing Group (NASDAQ:OWLS) ("OwlTing" or the "Company"), the operating brand of OBOOK Holdings Inc., a global fintech company, today announced that during the first quarter of 2026 it signed and onboarded over 20 enterprise clients onto OwlPay Harbor1, including clients with executed agreements and others in active onboarding processes.
Based on information provided by clients at the time of engagement, the aggregate annual payment volume represented by these clients across their existing businesses surpasses USD $5 billion. This figure refers to payment volume generated by these clients' own businesses, and does not represent transaction volume currently processed by OwlTing.2
These client additions reflect first-quarter 2026 activity only. The scale of enterprise activity now aligned with OwlPay Harbor as a settlement infrastructure partner reflects a meaningful step in OwlTing's transition into the activation and monetization phase, as outlined in the Company's interim financial results for the first half of 2025, the stage at which infrastructure capacity built during the Company's multi-year build-out begins converting into production client relationships and utilization-driven revenue. As OwlTing continues to sign enterprise clients and activate payment corridors in subsequent quarters, the associated revenue opportunity is expected to build cumulatively over time.
The contracted client base spans a range of enterprise payment profiles. Named clients include Graph (Oval Technologies), a fintech platform enabling African businesses to settle cross-border B2B import payments from the United States; Dexpay, an Africa-focused fintech helping businesses and consumers on- and off-ramp international payments through regional telecom networks; and Hope for Haiti, a U.S.-based certified nonprofit delivering humanitarian aid with digital currency in Haiti in collaboration with the Stellar Development Foundation. Together with a broader group of remittance providers, fintech platforms, and cross-border B2B payment service providers, these clients represent active or onboarding payment corridors extending from the United States to Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region.
"The breadth of this quarter's enterprise signings reflects both the infrastructure we have built and the demand we are seeing from the market," said Darren Wang, Founder and CEO at OwlTing Group. "We believe regulated digital currency settlement is moving into the mainstream enterprise payment stack, and OwlPay Harbor is increasingly positioned to serve as a trusted infrastructure layer for that transition."
OwlPay Harbor operates as a global digital currency payment infrastructure, enabling enterprise clients to convert fiat currency to regulated digital currencies, and settle cross-border transactions through major distributed ledger rails. The platform generally monetizes through transaction-based fees. The current blended take rate of 25 to 35 basis points across settlement, FX, and embedded compliance services3 is in line with global enterprise settlement benchmarks. The volume of payments already flowing through the businesses of the Company's contracted clients illustrates the scale of revenue opportunity as those flows migrate onto OwlPay Harbor over time.
Backed by Money Transmitter Licenses or their equivalent in 40 U.S. states4, a Virtual Asset Service Provider license in the European Union, and an Electronic Payment Intermediary Service Provider license in Japan, OwlTing has established the regulatory footprint required to operate as a trusted, cross-border settlement layer for enterprises and financial institutions seeking regulated digital currency payment infrastructure at a global scale.
