“In this past quarter, we have renewed several key relationships and formed some exciting new partnerships, all in support of the opportunities that we see in consumer payments, new flows and value-added services.

“Although the road ahead will likely be challenging for a number of quarters, our business model is resilient and our strategy to enable the movement of money globally is more relevant than ever.”
