RHCO reported a significant increase in Revenue of 44% compared to 2022. The Company also achieved remarkable Earnings, up 364% year-over-year, demonstrating its robust performance and potential for sustainable growth.
These outstanding results are a direct consequence of RHCO's steadfast commitment to evolving into a formidable Fintech enterprise. By harnessing the synergies within its portfolio, comprising fully-owned subsidiaries such as OkePay, Oke Partners (OkeApp), and Readies, RHCO is exceptionally well-positioned to capitalize on the burgeoning global E-payment sector.
In particular, Readies, the evolutionary payment solution which made a significant contribution to the Company's revenue in early 2022, has gained momentum again with its new upgraded version utilizing blockchain technologies. The number of merchants and customers using Readies has significantly increased in the past few months, as it caters specifically to merchants operating in high-risk sectors, including Gaming, Gambling, Adult Entertainment, Nutraceuticals, Forex, Online Courses, and more.
In addition to its Fintech endeavors, RHCO's E-commerce and Retail segment shines brightly, with Neckermann Direct operating at full capacity.

The growing popularity of Neckermann Direct has brought significant revenue to the Company.
Earlier this week, RHCO announced a full-scale extension of its various payment gateways, allowing merchant partners to accept cryptocurrencies in addition to all conventional payment methods. With this comprehensive extension and upgrade, OkePay, RHCO's primary payment platform, and Readies will offer an expansive array of payment methods. In addition to conventional payment options like Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Union Pay, PayPal, and more, merchants can now seamlessly accept payments from e-wallets (e.g. SEPA, Alipay, WeChat Pay, etc.), direct banking, and, notably, all major cryptocurrencies. This includes but is not limited to Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ripple (XRP), Stellar (XLM), Dash (DASH), Cardano (ADA), and many others. The Company anticipates providing the largest selection of payment options available to merchants and customers in all sectors and markets, with over 200 payment options available. This spectacular development would add extra momentum to the Company, and its growth will certainly accelerate in the coming year.

RHCO has been committed to providing seamless and innovative payment solutions to meet the diverse needs of businesses and consumers.

This spectacular expansion will bring together the largest selections of payment options for OkePay and Readies, with over 200 payment methods.
