Vancouver, BC and San Juan, Puerto Rico, September 28, 2026 – TheNewswire - Tiger Financial Services Inc., (CSE:BANQ) (“Tiger” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its common shares (the “Shares”) will commence trading today on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the ticker symbol “BANQ”.

Ben Aissa, CEO of Tiger Financial, stated: “Our listing on the CSE is a milestone for Tiger, and I want to be clear about why it matters. Small businesses are the backbone of Southeast Asia’s economies, yet many of these businesses in the region continue to rely on the use of cash, with limited access to commercial credit and to modern digital banking and fintech solutions. We see an opportunity to provide additional financial services to small and medium-sized businesses in this region. Over the past several years we have done the foundational work: building our technology, deploying it with merchants in Vietnam, and partnering with a licensed commercial bank that already serves tens of thousands of businesses and millions of consumers.”

“Vietnam is our first market, and our plan is to extend our bank partnered model across Southeast Asia, a region of more than 60 million small businessesi, many of which remain underserved by traditional banks,” added Mr. Aissa. “Our CSE listing gives us greater visibility, stronger governance discipline, access to the capital markets, and the flexibility to grow both organically and through acquisitions. I look forward to reporting our progress to shareholders as we execute.”
