Mr Shendon said that Gobbill was still pre-revenue but the start up is gradually climbing the ladders of success.

Cointree was launched in 2013 with a motive of making it easier for people to make digital transactions and it now has 60,000 active members who have facilitated a transaction worth 100 million.

“Last year alone we had about $100 million of bills paid and registered ten times growth in this payment feature,” he added.
