Attached to this email is a testimonial from Capt Efstathiou that is working for Euronav.
His main points are:
1) I personally find the App useful and very easy to use. It doesn’t require you to spend a lot of
time on it, which is another benefit.
2) Deposits are transferred to each of the sailors quickly and safely and can use the requested
deposit at once without having to wait to arrive in port.
3) Seafarers agree that it is very useful.

The best way to explain how the seafarers
perceive our solution is to describe how they
are adopting it and the support they require.
Seafarers Utilization

• Customers are using us for both Cash on Board requests and Payroll transfers. It is
interesting to see how this translates at a Seafarer level in term of funds usage:
• 74.5% is sent as a wire transfer home or to a local bank account (wallet to card)
• 9.0% is consumed through the card
• 16.5% remains on the e-wallet

It is clear that the seafarer is trusting MarTrust they are leaving balances on their
account. This trust is enhanced by the accessibility that they have of their funds
and the overall set-up of MarTrust.
The above also proves why we focused so heavily on the rails to transfer funds
home and have a set-up that is secure.
The Card is just one more tool to spend the funds what matters is for them to feel
that they can leave the funds with a trusted party and to be able to efficiently use
them when they require it.

Seafarers Utilization

The main nationalities that leave balances on the e-wallet are:


• Russian,
• Ukrainians and
• Filipino
We had expected the Russians and the Ukrainians to leave funds on the e-wallet
(payment account) this was one item that we had identified during the exploration
stage. They felt that MarTrust would offer them a secure place to hold a % of their funds
outside of their home country financial system.
We had not expected the Filipino Seafarers to also hold funds with us. Currently we see
that 24% of the funds received are left in the e-wallet.
