Source: Kapitales Research

Highlights:

  • Peppermint Innovation has secured AU$500,000 in new funding via an equity placement with sophisticated and professional investors.
  • Proceeds will support the rollout of the bizmoto digital wallet and payments platform across the Philippine cooperative sector.
  • The company is targeting increased transaction activity and recurring revenue by scaling adoption within large cooperative networks.

Capital Raise Supports Platform Expansion

Peppermint Innovation Ltd (ASX: PIL) has secured AU$500,000 in fresh capital following a placement completed with select sophisticated and professional investors. The funds were raised through the issue of approximately 142.9 million fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of AU$0.0035 per share, representing a discount to recent trading averages.

The placement also included free attaching options issued on a one-for-two basis, with each option carrying an exercise price of AU$0.0055 and a term of thirty six months. The capital raising was managed by CPS Capital Group and provides Peppermint with additional financial capacity to execute its near-term growth strategy.

Focus on Philippine Cooperative Market

Funds raised will be directed toward scaling Peppermint’s licensed bizmoto digital wallet and payments platform across the Philippine cooperative sector. This market represents approximately 13.6 million cooperative members nationwide, offering a substantial addressable user base for digital financial services.

The company plans to initially prioritise adoption within the MASS-SPECC cooperative network, which comprises around 3.4 million members. Once traction is further established within this network, Peppermint intends to expand more broadly across the cooperative ecosystem through partnerships and cooperative-led onboarding initiatives.

Driving Transaction Growth and Recurring Revenue

Proceeds from the placement will be used to accelerate platform deployment and enhance core transaction functionality. This includes expanding services such as cash-in features, bill payments, and QR-based merchant transactions. Management’s strategy is centred on increasing transaction frequency per user, deepening engagement, and building predictable recurring revenue streams over time.

Peppermint operates a fully licensed and regulated digital wallet and payments platform overseen by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. The platform’s integration with national payment infrastructure supports scalability and positions the company to benefit from the continued shift toward digital payments in the Philippines.

Strategic Partnerships and Regulatory Advantage

In addition to platform expansion, the company is pursuing targeted corporate partnerships designed to increase utilisation of the bizmoto wallet and enable the delivery of payment gateway services. Management believes Peppermint’s regulatory framework and licensing position provide a competitive advantage as digital adoption accelerates across the region.

The capital injection is expected to support these partnership initiatives while maintaining momentum in platform adoption and transaction growth.

Outlook

With additional funding secured, Peppermint Innovation is positioned to advance its digital payments strategy in one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing financial inclusion markets. Investor focus is likely to remain on user adoption metrics, transaction growth, and the company’s ability to translate platform scale into sustainable revenue as it continues to execute against its long-term objectives.
