This growth has been driven by customer preferences, with customer preferring instant and batched SEPA interbank payments over cards, due to
- Lower cost versus a credit card payment
- SIIN notification, so Merchants can be certain they have received the funds
- No chargebacks
- Consumer payment preferences skewing away from cards
- flykk® ecosystem
The Group continues to focus its growth in regulated online gaming, with Entain Group and William Hill entering into further agreements for additional services, which are expected to contribute to the bottom line by mid 2022.
Card acquiring volumes in the quarter were up 18% versus 3Q21, but remained lower than 4Q20 down (18%).
flykk® volumes in the quarter remained strong, as we continue to see growing interest in the flykk® product from merchants.
In 2021 net cash generated in operating activity increased 15% to €5.8million, due to increased revenues. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year was €5.2 million, down from €8.5 million in 2020 mainly due to financing activities, including repayment of intercompany debt and payment of dividends to its prior parent company during the period.
I expect that growth during 2022 will continue at a steady pace, whilst allowing the company to expand into other sectors/geographies and also maintaining profitability.
