New products and new customers: Achieving goals.
Our new product, COCO{Loyalty}, had a great kick off: several media covered the launch of EVO Banco’s Smart Cashback tool, powered by COCO. This module allows the entity’s customers access to an ecosystem of automatic rewards. “The technological innovation developed by Evo and Coinscrap Finance allows purchases made in partner stores to be identified in real time, and refunds to be executed immediately to the Evo account chosen by the user”, the company states.
We have also increased the capabilities of our banking data enricher, COCO{Enrichment}. After its launch in the Spanish market, it now has thousands of Mexican merchants automatically detected. Our tool is integrated into the digital platform of banks and insurance companies and is capable of displaying logos, geolocation and category of the store, in addition to detecting the carbon footprint associated with each banking transaction.
In the area of new business, we are helping five new entities to offer innovative tools to their users. Three of them are insurance companies and two are banks, several with great international relevance, which we will make public in the coming months. Two of these institutions are using our Micro Savings module and another is enjoying COCO{Categorization} with great results.

Especially from our CTO, Óscar Barba, who has already published three with the University of Vigo, where he is completing his doctorate.
We are on the path of growth, establishing collaborations with key market players, such as Minsait, Flanks, Alice Biometrics or Ges. In addition, we keep expanding the company and our objectives for this year are focused on Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and Portugal.
