LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - Oct 8, 2012) - Compass Biotechnologies Inc. (PINKSHEETS: [ COBI ]) and 1World Direct US Inc., ("1World") - The "unbanked" and financially underserved population is making its mark in the economy within a market segment that now exceeds $10 billion. "This activity only provides a glimpse of the growing and largely unmet financial needs of this customer segment and its market potential for banks and financial services providers," said Tom Krucker, CEO of 1World. Furthermore, "both new and established providers are scrambling to understand the right mix of products for this market segment as well as payment products and the delivery method or combination of methods needed to successfully reach this customer base."

1World has developed successful sales strategies to penetrate this market segment through a deep understanding of its financial needs and also of its cultural concerns. By using just a smart phone and our developed mobile apps for Android and iPhone, cardholders will have access to meet a complete range of personal banking needs; such as: activating a new account, signing up for direct deposit or ACH transfers, redeeming cash back points, paying bills, transferring funds and more.
