InComm Payments, global payments technology provider, and SKUx, mobile wallet network, announced a strategic partnership focused on digital payment distribution for humanitarian aid and emerging markets. The companies plan to combine retail infrastructure with blockchain tools to improve how funds are delivered and tracked.
The joint solution will allow organizations to issue branded digital payments with item-level controls. Funds can be limited to specific goods and used at approved locations. The system is designed to ensure that aid or promotional budgets are spent for their intended purpose. The platform will operate through InComm’s retail network and SKUx’s blockchain-based distribution system, including its SKUPay retail integrations with point-of-sale providers.
The partnership targets government agencies, nonprofits and consumer packaged goods companies. Both firms are members of Payments As A Lifeline, a nonprofit organization focused on financial resilience in the United States.
