Connect X Gomi Corporation, MOA Signed for Exchange and Cooperation in Payment Service and Data Business

Kanak (KANAK) and Gomi Corporation have formed a cooperative system to exchange and collaborate on payment service and data businesses, signing a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on March 25.

Through this MOA, Kanak will provide Gomi Corporation with the payment solution ePAYDAY, which can be efficiently used in Gomi Corporation's business, while also securing and providing the generated data for business expansion. Gomi Corporation will be able to receive Kanak's information and know-how to obtain authorization for electronic financial payment agency services (PG).

As a PG company, Kanak aims to offer convenience to customers by developing not only simple payment services but also a smart hospital information system based on AI metaverse technology, leveraging its proven expertise in the fintech industry. It has already signed an MOU with a pilot operation hospital. Additionally, in February, Kanak acquired shares of the KOSDAQ-listed company Medicox, securing management rights, and plans to create synergy effects in the bio business by utilizing Medicox's network, thereby establishing a practical revenue structure and enhancing expertise. Kanak's sales revenue in 2021 was 7.9 billion KRW, with an operating profit of 3.1 billion KRW.

Lee Won-il, CEO of Kanak, stated, "We now have the opportunity to analyze data not only from hospitals but also from global commerce," adding, "We will do our best to discover insights into consumer behavior and journeys so that both companies can grow together."

Gomi Corporation, as a global commerce platform, has established a process that integrates local fulfillment, online customer service comprehensive solutions, and digital marketing based on its self-developed Gomi Marketplace platform, forming a strong distribution pipeline online.

Despite the challenging conditions due to the COVID-19 situation, Gomi Corporation has achieved rapid growth with 500 tenant companies and 14,000 listed items through expansion into Vietnam, Thailand, Chile, India, and Japan. The transaction volume in 2021 was 24 billion KRW, and the expected transaction volume for this year is approximately 90 billion KRW.

Jang Geon-young, CEO of Gomi Corporation, expressed expectations, saying, "If Kanak's ePAYDAY payment service and big data solutions are utilized on the Gomi Marketplace platform, it will also help business expansion."
