Eklavya Asset Managers Maintains Regulatory Compliance Amid Unresolved Public Misunderstandings
Despite no regulatory action taken and its financial license remaining active, Eklavya Asset Managers continues to face reputational fallout after a now-removed notice on the FSCA website prompted third-party reporting. The firm seeks public clarification to resolve confusion from outdated content.
Eklavya Asset Managers, a licensed South African financial services provider (FSP 45583), confirms it has remained fully compliant and operational following a review initiated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) in November 2024. Despite no sanctions or regulatory action, the firm continues to experience reputational damage due to public speculation.
The review, part of standard regulatory oversight, focused on Eklavya’s operations and its trading platform, SolisMarkets. Eklavya cooperated fully throughout the process. Since the conclusion of the inquiry, no enforcement steps, warnings, or penalties have been issued against the company or its affiliates. Eklavya’s FSCA license remains active and in good standing.
An initial statement referencing the review appeared briefly on the FSCA’s website in 2024 but was later removed. However, content based on that initial notice, including a widely circulated article published by compliance platform Moonstone titled “FSCA Investigating Solis Markets Following Complaints from Investors,” remains publicly available without context or closure. The company says this has caused ongoing reputational confusion and unjustified concern among clients and partners.
“Our clients deserve clarity,” said Dustan Cornelissen, Managing Director of Eklavya. “We welcomed the review and answered every inquiry. We’re now asking for the same transparency in return. If no wrongdoing was found and no action was taken, the record should reflect that as publicly as the initial notice did.”
Eklavya stresses that while it supports regulatory oversight and transparency, the absence of any public update confirming the matter’s closure has allowed unsupported allegations to linger. The company has formally contacted the FSCA and relevant publishers to request updated public communication that reflects the complete picture.
In the meantime, Eklavya continues to operate in full compliance. Licensed in 2013, the firm provides investment advisory, wealth management, and trading services to private and institutional investors across South Africa. Its platform, SolisMarkets, has also remained fully functional and compliant.
Eklavya has intensified internal communication and compliance practices to reassure stakeholders, including adopting broader disclosure protocols, enhancing oversight mechanisms, and launching new client tools such as its AI-based “Market Pulse” system. The firm also expands inflation-hedged and cross-border solutions to serve investors better amid ongoing economic uncertainty.
Plans are also underway to open a regional office in Namibia by late 2025, with further expansion into the SADC region expected by 2027.
“This has been a reminder of how quickly incomplete information can take on a life of its own,” Cornelissen added. “We stand by how we’ve handled the review process and continue to operate with the highest standards of integrity.”
Eklavya encourages the media and the public to reference the firm’s current regulatory status via its FSCA registration (FSP 45583) when evaluating online content related to the matter.

24-7 Service Provider Adopts Clover After Traditional Processors Decline to Work with Emergency Services Industry
Santa Ana, California – A 24/7 emergency services company operating across Orange County has completed its migration to Clover’s point-of-sale system after discovering that traditional payment processors, including Chase Bank’s merchant services, decline to work with certain service-based industries regardless of business legitimacy or operational history.
The Santa Ana-based company, which processes payments at county facilities, courthouse locations, and client residences at all hours, found that industry classification often matters more than business credentials when seeking payment processing partnerships.
“We went to Chase first. Clean business history, proper licensing, excellent credit. Didn’t matter,” said a company spokesperson. “They won’t work with certain service industries. Period. That’s when we realized we needed processors that actually serve businesses like ours. Clover was one of the few willing to work with us.”
Why Traditional Processors Reject Certain Service Industries
Chase Bank and many traditional merchant service providers maintain internal lists of industries they won’t serve, often categorized as “high-risk” regardless of individual business circumstances. These lists frequently include legal, licensed, and regulated businesses that operate within all applicable laws.
The company discovered this reality when applying for merchant accounts: Chase Merchant Services declined applications based solely on industry classification, traditional processors like Bank of America and Wells Fargo cited internal risk policies, and Square initially accepted but later imposed transaction holds that created operational problems.
Why Clover When Others Won’t Work With You
The primary reason the company selected Clover wasn’t features or pricing—it was availability. Clover was willing to provide merchant services when traditional processors weren’t.
“You can’t compare features if you can’t get approved,” the spokesperson noted. “Clover said yes when Chase said no. That’s the bottom line.”
Once approved, however, the company discovered legitimate technical advantages for their field-based operations: transaction speeds averaged 2-3 seconds for high-value transactions, offline mode reliability for county facilities with inconsistent internet, high-ticket transaction handling without verification delays, hardware durability for field conditions, and fully customized multilingual receipt templates.
The Emergency Services Payment Processing Challenge
The company’s business model creates unique payment processing demands. Clients need immediate service, often outside business hours. Transactions happen at government facilities with inconsistent internet, private residences, and mobile locations. Transaction values frequently exceed $10,000, and clients are emotionally stressed and need clear, immediate confirmation.
The company processes 40-60 transactions weekly, with volumes spiking on weekends and holidays. Failed transactions created operational crises requiring backup payment methods, delayed service, and client dissatisfaction.
“When someone needs emergency services, they’re not in a browsing mindset,” the spokesperson explained. “They need it handled now. Payment processing can’t be the bottleneck.”
Clover Implementation and Results
The migration took two weeks, including staff training and integration with existing customer management software. The company deployed four Clover devices: two Flex units for field operations and two stationary units for office locations at 2112 E. Fourth Street, Suite 220-F in Santa Ana and 121 Linden Ave, Suite B-109 in Long Beach.
Results showed immediate improvements: transaction speed dropped from 3.5 minutes to under 2 minutes, failed transaction rates decreased from 8% to less than 1%, staff efficiency improved with less time troubleshooting payment issues, and client satisfaction surveys showed measurably higher satisfaction.
Beyond transaction processing, the company integrated Clover with broader business systems including customer database integration, multilingual documentation, remote monitoring, and compliance reporting.
The Bail Bonds Industry: A Case Study in Payment Processing Discrimination
The company in question is A+ Bail Bonds, a California-licensed emergency services provider offering Santa Ana bail bonds and Orange County bail bonds services. The bail bonds industry exemplifies the payment processing challenge facing legal but “undesirable” service businesses.
Bail bonds companies operate under strict California Department of Insurance regulation, maintain substantial insurance requirements, and provide a legal service explicitly contemplated by the Constitution’s Eighth Amendment. Yet major banks and traditional processors routinely refuse to provide merchant services to the industry.
“We’re a fully licensed and regulated business operating under strict state oversight,” the spokesperson said. “Licensed by California, regulated by the Department of Insurance, bonded, insured, and providing a constitutionally protected service. Yet many traditional banks have blanket policies excluding our industry regardless of individual business credentials.”
The nature of bail bonds creates additional payment processing demands: clients need immediate service after a loved one’s arrest, transactions happen at county jails with poor connectivity, payment amounts range from $2,500 to $50,000, and clients are under significant emotional stress.
Looking Ahead: Alternative Processors Fill the Gap
A+ Bail Bonds plans to expand its use of Clover’s platform, including implementing contactless payment options and exploring customer-facing display features. But the broader issue remains: why do legal, licensed, regulated businesses need “alternative” processors in the first place?
The payment processing landscape is fragmenting not just by features but by willingness to serve. Traditional banks maintain the right to decline business based on industry, but that discretion creates barriers for legal enterprises operating in less popular sectors.
For businesses facing similar challenges, the lesson is clear: understand that industry classification may matter more than business merit when seeking payment processing. Research processors known to work with your specific industry before investing time in applications that may face automatic denial.
“If you’re in an industry that traditional banks are hesitant to serve, start with processors experienced in your sector,” the spokesperson advised. “It saves time and helps you find partners who understand your operational needs.”

Los Angeles, CA, 24th October 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, PR guru Melanie has announced the launch of One2Wow, a new service designed to help businesses address one of the most critical challenges in online commerce: building trust with potential customers.
With extensive experience in marketing and PR, Melanie has worked with numerous brands throughout her career. Through this work, she identified a persistent problem that affects businesses of all sizes.
“Nobody trusts your website. That’s why nobody’s buying,” says Melanie, founder of One2Wow. “I watched this pattern play out over and over. Great websites with minimal conversions, not because of the product or price, but because of trust.”
Understanding the Trust Challenge
According to Melanie, many businesses focus on the wrong metrics when trying to improve their online performance. The issue isn’t always about traffic or website design—it’s about credibility.
“You’re losing to competitors every day,” Melanie explains. “Not because they’re better, but because they appear more established. It’s about perception.”
One2Wow was created to address this fundamental challenge in digital business. The platform aims to bridge the gap between having a quality product or service and being recognized as a trusted authority in the marketplace.
The Evolution of Digital Trust
The digital landscape has changed dramatically over the years, and with it, the way consumers evaluate businesses online. Melanie has witnessed this evolution firsthand, working across various industries and market segments.
“Consumer behavior has shifted,” notes Melanie. “People are more skeptical than ever, and for good reason. Building credibility is no longer optional—it’s essential for survival in the digital economy.”
This insight led to the development of One2Wow, which takes into account the modern consumer’s mindset and the barriers that prevent businesses from establishing themselves as trustworthy entities.
A New Approach from a PR Veteran
Throughout her career, PR expert Melanie has observed how traditional approaches often fall short for businesses seeking to build their online presence and credibility. One2Wow represents a different philosophy.
“Watching businesses struggle for preventable reasons drives me,” Melanie states. “There’s a better way to approach this.”
The service reflects Melanie’s years of understanding what builds trust in the digital marketplace and how businesses can position themselves effectively. Her approach is informed by real-world experience and a deep understanding of what resonates with today’s consumers.
The Mission Behind One2Wow
At its core, One2Wow is about leveling the playing field for businesses that deserve recognition but lack the visibility to compete effectively. Melanie believes that many quality businesses fail not because of their offerings, but because they haven’t established the credibility needed to convert interest into action.
“Every business deserves a fair chance,” says Melanie. “The goal is to help them present themselves in a way that builds confidence and drives results.”
About One2Wow
One2Wow is a service from PR guru Melanie, a marketing and PR veteran with extensive industry experience. The company focuses on helping businesses address trust and credibility challenges in the digital space. One2Wow was created to provide solutions for companies looking to strengthen their online presence.

Press Release
Outlets Global Chain (OGC) is about to launch globally: Reshaping the new brand finance ecosystem
In 2025,Outlets Global Chain (OGC), a global blockchain project initiated by Outlets Group Global Digital Economy Co., Ltd. and strategically invested in by the COINP Foundation, has announced its official global launch. This marks the full implementation of a global brand finance network centered on real-world assets (RWAs) and powered by blockchain.
Drive brand financialization with real assets at the core
OGC is dedicated to digitizing and circulating real assets within the outlet industry, including commercial real estate, brand inventory, membership benefits, and pre-owned luxury goods. Through its proprietary OUTLX Protocol (Outlets + X), OGC provides a standardized asset management, payment settlement, and revenue distribution system for brands, merchants, investors, and consumers.
“We hope to ensure that every real-world asset can be seen, authenticated, and used,” said the head of the OGC technical team. “RWA is not only a new direction for blockchain, but also an inevitable path for the digitization of the real economy. OGC’s goal is to enable global liquidity for brand assets and to allow value to flow freely based on trust.”
Innovate public chain technology and build a global trust network
As the technological cornerstone of the brand finance ecosystem, OGC utilizes a high-performance Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism, achieving over 10,000 transactions per second (TPS) and supporting interoperability with mainstream public chains such as Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, and Solana. The system integrates core functions such as asset ownership confirmation, smart contract execution, cross-chain settlement, and anti-counterfeiting and traceability, providing a secure, compliant, and scalable digital infrastructure for global brands.
With its innovative architecture and cross-chain compatibility, OGC will become a “trust hub” connecting brands, consumers and investment institutions, driving the evolution of brand assets from static management to dynamic financialization.
Compliance first, building a foundation of global financial trust
OGC initiator Outlets Group Global Digital Economy Co., Ltd. is registered in Denver, Colorado, USA, and holds a U.S. FinCEN MSB (registration number: 31000293629217) financial services license, which allows it to legally engage in digital currency transmission, foreign exchange exchange, and cross-border payment services.
OGC has also received strategic investment and long-term support from the COINP Foundation. COINP, which specializes in blockchain asset investment, DeFi ecosystem incubation, and RWA management, will provide OGC with global resources and capital support in areas such as liquidity injection, ecosystem governance, and brand access.
“OGC represents the turning point of blockchain from virtual finance to the real economy,” said a spokesperson for the COINP Foundation. “It is not just a chain, but a value channel connecting brand assets, global finance, and consumer trust.”
The global ecosystem is launched, and brand value is fully chained
The OGC global ecosystem will cover markets in Asia, Europe, America, and the Middle East. The project plans to launch global brand node recruitment in the first half of 2025, uniting more than 300 international brands, 10,000 luxury resources, and 3,400 outlet projects to create a blockchain-based brand asset network (BrandFi Network).
The OGC ecosystem will achieve brand asset income distribution, point exchange, and cross-chain payment through the Outlets-Fi financial system, building a new business landscape where “consumption is investment, and brand is asset” in the true sense.
About Outlets Global Chain (OGC)
Outlets Global Chain is a global blockchain project focused on building a brand finance ecosystem. Based on the OUTLX Protocol and proprietary public blockchain technology, it is dedicated to digitalizing the ownership and circulation of global brand assets. The project was initiated by Outlets Group Global Digital Economy Co., Ltd. and has received strategic investment and long-term support from the COINP Foundation.
The OGC’s mission is to: “Let’s reconstruct brand value on the blockchain and make trust a global language.”
