(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/29/16 -- BTL GROUP LTD. (TSX VENTURE: BTL) ("BTL" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Netcoins Inc. ("Netcoins") to launch in-store remittances, initially in 19 stores across Canada.

Through its Xapcash brand and this agreement with Netcoins, BTL''s blockchain technology aims to offer a seamless money transfer experience, both online and in-store.
"This agreement is a significant step forwards for BTL, and we believe will be the first time blockchain based remittances have been offered in physical stores," commented Guy Halford-Thompson, CEO of BTL. "The ability to offer in-store, as well as online remittances, through our Xapcash platform will significantly increase our customer reach, and we are excited to be working alongside Netcoins and their team."
"We are very excited to be working alongside BTL to bring cost effective money transfers to physical stores," commented Michael Vogel, Netcoins'' founder and CEO. "The combination of BTL''s money transfer technology and the Netcoins platform will result in a unique remittance platform with significant advantages over existing services."
BTL and Netcoins are working together to bring blockchain based remittances to physical stores, and the integration and testing process is already under way. The first stores are expected to go live at the end of April 2016.
