PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems Inc. (OTC: PAXH) announced the soft launch of Zane, an AI-enabled personal finance management mobile platform developed under its wholly owned subsidiary Zane Inc. The Phase 1 release is scheduled for June 2026 via an invite-only iOS rollout to a limited group of early adopters, with a general Android release tentatively planned for Q3 2026.
Zane is designed to simplify everyday money management through a proprietary AI-assisted, chat-based experience. Features include instant in-app account opening, physical and virtual prepaid Visa payment cards, online and in-store payments, fund transfers, access to over 36,000 ATMs across Canada, and a single aggregated view of external bank accounts via Yodlee. The platform also offers intelligent transaction categorization, spending insights, and conversational AI assistance for financial questions and tasks.
“One of the significant challenges facing consumers today is financial literacy and security,” said Pavel Bondarev, CEO of Zane Inc. “We are building Zane to help them build and grow quickly their emergency funds and take better control of their financial lives through a simplified, intelligent experience that increases financial awareness and education.”
Zane is launching in Canada with plans to expand into the United States beginning in 2027. The platform’s ecosystem includes partnerships with Digital Commerce Bank (via Pateno Payments Inc.), Visa, and Yodlee. Zane is registered with the Bank of Canada as a Payment Service Provider under the Retail Payment Activities Act (RPAA) and as a Money Services Business with FINTRAC.

The soft launch represents a foundational step for PreAxia, which is a development-stage technology company. The company’s common shares trade on the OTC Markets Group under the symbol PAXH. As a development-stage enterprise, PreAxia is subject to significant risks, including the need for additional capital, regulatory approvals, and market adoption.
Zane is positioned to address the market opportunity for consumers seeking better ways to save, invest, and manage finances. By integrating user experience, embedded finance, conversational AI, and intelligent decisioning tools, the platform aims to establish a sustainable ecosystem that prioritizes financial well-being. Revenue streams include interchange, premium enhancements, and future licensing.
The announcement underscores the growing trend of AI integration in personal finance, with Zane leveraging proprietary technology to differentiate itself. However, the success of the platform will depend on user adoption, regulatory compliance, and the ability to scale beyond Canada. PreAxia’s forward-looking statements highlight these uncertainties, emphasizing that actual results may differ materially from projections.
