Fee and commission income from payment processing decreased to $5.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The $2.6 million decrease is attributable to a strategic decrease in our average acquiring rate and overall decline in transaction turnover during the period.

Fee and commission income from banking services decreased by $11.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Instead, the loyalty program is leveraged to effectively reduce transaction costs for customers by supporting our customer base expansion and increasing engagement across the ecosystem.
