1 - Myanmar Myanmar ( Burma ) has few POS and rare usage because high commissions charged by banks to merchants. Areas of low penetration banking can be good choice for rapid progress ? As in 2017 figures, %90 of Myanmar population don't have bank account and just 7000 POS in the country. In Deloitte research, %52 of Myanmar people say "not easy to use" of ATM cards & pos because of no link between different banks. On merchant side, cost of POS is 250$ is too high for them due to the low income in usd basis. %80 of people have smartphones. High smartphone usage and very few conventional point of sales. Less regulation and government opened up local payments market to international payment companies. Dev side : needed multi-language and multi-currency support.

2 - Philippines Millions of Filipina/Filipino ( Philippines people ) work abroad and they send salaries to families every month. They pay 16 to 25 usd transfer fee for 600 usd remittance to Western Union, BDO, Cebuano, etc. HydroX can provide much better option to them. Is it huge market ? Yes it is.
