Etime system Commits to $48M Annual Volume
Zulie Venture Inc. dba Etime system has committed to purchase at least $4,000,000 in prepaid wireless airtime, top-up and refill transactions each calendar month, totaling at least $48,000,000 over the initial term from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
-
Volume Is Not Revenue
These amounts represent prepaid wireless purchase volume; the filing states that net revenue and gross profit recognized from that volume may be significantly lower than the volume amounts.
-
Shortfall Make-Up and Auto-Renewal
Any monthly shortfall must be made up with additional prepaid wireless transactions by the end of the following calendar month, and the agreement renews automatically for successive twelve-month terms at the same minimums unless either party gives 30 days' written notice of nonrenewal.
-
Rollout Already Underway
Transactions under the agreement began in October 2026 and are processed through SurgePays POS, the company's retail sales and payments business.
Analysis · SURG · Technology
A contractual floor now sits under SurgePays' prepaid wireless business: Etime system, a payments network with more than 1,000 retail locations, has committed in writing to at least $4 million a month in purchase volume, or at least $48 million over the twelve months from October 1, 2026. That is contracted transaction volume, not revenue. The filing warns that net revenue and gross profit recognized from it may be significantly lower than the volume figure, so the actual margin contribution remains unknown. Even so, the deal is meaningful for a company whose last 10-Q carried going-concern doubt and Nasdaq delisting risk, and the volume is already running as of October 2026. The commitment is only as good as Etime system's performance, and the company explicitly cannot assure the monthly minimums will be met or that the agreement renews.
