Country Partner
A national-level partner who brings FORUS to their country and recruits local members underneath them.
Definition
A Country Partner is the national entity that brings the FORUS network to their country. Country Partners pay an upfront membership fee to join FORUS Digital and are the anchor for their national market. They recruit and sign up local members — merchants, commercial banks, cooperatives, fintechs, corporates, government entities, and community members — and collect membership fees from them. Every membership fee is split 60/40 via smart contract: 60% retained by the Country Partner and their local members, 40% routed automatically to FORUS Digital. Beyond membership fees, Country Partners unlock new platform revenue streams in their country — transaction flow, cross-border corridors, working capital finance, Mahala Media advertising — and share in network revenue as the global partnership network grows.
Stage 1 of the Country Partnership — a signed Letter of Intent that opens the data room and begins due diligence.
Stage 2 of the Country Partnership — the full agreement activating platform access, smart contract revenue share, and member recruitment.
Stage 3 of the Country Partnership — all regulatory approvals secured, cross-border corridors live, full governance participation.
Country-specific infrastructure nodes that preserve national economic sovereignty and data custody.
