International Auto Club (IAC) is a Decentralized marketplace with multilevel cashback. Unlike other ICO’s, IAC is not a startup project, the corporation is fully developed and is the biggest cashback service in Russia. With its plan to move the business to blockchain technology, it aims to offer its clients with more effective solutions. Currently, IAC is at the expansion stage where it is planning to provide its services to other countries.

IAC aims to be the bridge between consumers and businesses, in order to provide a win-win situation for both where neither the consumer pays more nor the business loses money in the competitive market. In general cashback services aim to benefit a single entity and not both, where IAC benefits both.

Additionally, at present, there are no systems that allow cashback payment system in cryptocurrency. The International Auto Club ICO presale begun on January 25, 2018. AutoToken will be an IAC’s token, and 85,982,639 tokens will be released. Tokens will generate progressively as the sales advance.

Existing Problems in Cashback Industry

The project aims to facilitate offline businesses with cashback services which are unique in itself as most cashback systems target online businesses. IAC wants to enter the market where there is lack of trustable referral systems, cashback service, and partnership programs. IAC will be in all in one.

The present cashback services are not that effective as in most cases they only benefit a single entity. The IAC aims to narrow the buying and selling margin of goods, where both the buyer and seller benefit. It will be the only platform with a cashback service that has its own payment system. Moreover, there are no services that offer cashback service and multilevel referral system at the same time.

The existing cashback ecosystem mainly furnishes the online space. However, with IAC platform offline business will also be part of the cashback service. Blockchain technology plays an important role for the further advancement of the IAC platform. Additionally, decentralized technology keeps data safe and immutable. It will operate as an independent, decentralized digital system which will restrict access to hackers. The IAC whitepaper states, “Blockchain provides additional transparency and security and also allows to list AutoUnit on the stock exchange.”

Solution to the Existing Problem

The platform offers more opportunities and mutual benefits for buyers and sellers. The platform will also help offline business to increase trade volume with its huge established client base. Moreover, it also can earn from referral programs.

How Does the Platform Work?

Both consumers and enterprise register free of charge. Consumers can avail discounts and offers on the platform while businesses can benefit from the burgeoning client base. Once a consumer is registered, one can make use of the referral program. For enterprises, the Autobonus program is available which will maintain records of purchases. The platform also offers customers to withdraw funds into fiat money. Registered enterprises can get discounted rates on paid services such as advertising, internet marketing, website creation and mobile applications. Registered consumers can pay with the internal currency for purchasing goods and also get access to the partner programs.

Why Choose IAC

IAC has three major advantages in the competitive market of payment systems and cashback services. These advantages are – Multilevel recommendation system, cashback in offline businesses and platforms currency.

Multilevel Recommendation System

Most of the present day cashback services offer one-level recommendation system, whereas IAC platform offers nine cashback levels making it more profitable for consumers. In simple words, you will not only be rewarded for the friend you invite but also for the individual that your friend invites. The reward process continuous for nine levels and rewards are allocated based on the recommendation position one holds in the chain.

Cashback for Offline Businesses

Akin to multilevel recommendation system, most cashback services only serve online stores. However, with IAC, over 12,000 offline stores are represented on the platform. Moreover, IAC claims that it offers the highest percentage of cashback in the largest online stores. A mobile application, Autobonus, is also available where consumers get cashback as a substitute for discounts.

IAC’s Currency

IAC offers its consumers to pay for purchases of over 20,000 types of goods and services using its own currency. In addition to that, referral rewards and bonuses can also be used to buy new things on the platform.

Token Sale and Fund Usage

The IAC will emit 85,982,639 AutoTokens at a price of $1. Additionally, the company intends to release 3,000,000 AutoUnits – an internal currency for the company’s platform. The ICO will take place in five stages including the presale. The presale started on January 25, 2018, and ends on March 18, 2018.

According to the whitepaper, the company intends to sell 70 percent of its tokens, while leaving the rest for project’s team and advisors and participants of the bounty.

The procured funds will be distributed as follows:

The whitepaper states 58 percent of the funds will be used for developing payment system which includes linking offline business to the payment system, implementing payment solutions within the Autounit system, put in an option to make payments inside the ecosystem via other cryptocurrencies and open branches of the bank in other countries.

Then 32 percent of the funds will be spent on a marketing strategy that consists of marketing strategy, media research, PR agency fees and creating new marketing tools. The remaining ten percent will be spent on technological development and support of the ecosystem that includes hiring professionals to join the team, training staff and development of subprojects.

The total amount that the IAC aims to acquire is $50 million. If it succeeds in obtaining the funds from different stages of the ICO than 29 million will be spent on developing the payment system, $16 million for marketing and $5 million for technological development of the platform.

At present, the company has over 600,000 users with a turnover of $8.3 million dollars.

With the introduction of the blockchain, more users are expected to make use of the company’s cashback services. IAC is a clear-cut solution to the existing issues in the cashback prices market, where there is lack of trust and transparency. However, IAC employing blockchain will raise trust and make the entire ecosystem transparent. More information on International Auto Club ICO is available in the whitepaper.
