Leveraging EFT payment capabilities to help Noxopharm successfully list on the ASX

The Company

Noxopharm (ASX: NOX) is a company focused on developing drugs that make to make radiotherapy more effective, to deliver improved survival prospects for cancer patients.

The Challenge

Noxopharm aimed to raise $6M via an IPO with a subsequent listing on the ASX. The company wanted an online payment solution that would offer investors a seamless experience.

How the Automic Group Delivered

The Automic Group provided a simple Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) solution that processed payments online. Each transaction generated a unique reference number, allowing the system to auto-reconcile payments in the IPO trust bank account.

The Automic Group’s approach was patient, informative and professional during a very important time for our business. The over-riding thought for me during this busy and sometimes challenging time was that we had a great Share Registry and a fabulous Share Register Manager.

The IPO was oversubscribed, with support coming from existing and new investors. 60% of payments were delivered via EFT from Noxopharm applicants. Real time updates on funds raised were provided to Noxopharm, while automated reconciling of transactions ensured accuracy.
