Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire - February 6, 2026 - FintechWerx International Software Services Inc. (CSE: WERX) ("FintechWerx" or the "Company") has completed a US$50,000 investment in AetherEV Energy Corporation (“AetherEV”) - aetherev.com - to advance the strategic partnership between the parties, support the implementation of the recently executed commercial agreement between FintechWerx and AetherEV, and accelerate AetherEV’s deployment across the FintechWerx platform.

Previously, the Company announced both the successful deployment of its AI-Werx proof of concept and the signing of its agreement with AetherEV (news releases found here and here ). With platform integration work underway for AetherEV and a newly announced $2.3 billion Electric Vehicle Affordability Program by the Canadian government, management has elected to provide targeted capital to help move the relationship directly into active customer onboarding and transaction processing.

This is a part of the Company’s broader operating model of identifying merchants that are primed for transactional volume. Deployment of the FintechWerx platform and gateway enables said merchants to expand their payment capabilities and offer capacity to meet market demand, according to George Hofsink, Co-Founder and CEO of FintechWerx.

"AetherEV already has customers lined up and ready to deploy on our platform," says Hofsink. "This capital is being applied to support  the AetherEv integrations and customer onboarding."

Hofsink added that the Company is focused on keeping capital tied directly to near-term execution rather than long development cycles.
