The combination of a rewards and receipt processing platforms enables us to offer brands more complete promotions solutions."

The signed agreement formally establishes Snipp as a technology, promotions services and digital products provider for its range of promotions solutions across its portfolio brands. The first program, which is due to launch in August 2015, offers consumers a $5 Prepaid Visa® Reward when they purchase qualifying brands. Consumers submit their receipts via the SnippCheck receipt processing solution and receive their rewards through the Hip Digital rewards platform.

According to Snipp CEO, Atul Sabharwal, "Our focus has been on acquiring strategic businesses that complement and add depth to our existing Snipp promotions and loyalty offering. We are pleased that the Hip Digital acquisition is paying off not just in terms of incremental revenue but also in additional crossover sales with Snipp's product offerings."
