 digital offerings and increase digital revenues, while maintaining and continuing to develop our retail service offerings. Although we believe that investment in our digital business should provide significant financial benefits in the mid to long term timeframes, these investments are likely, in the shorter term, to adversely affect our results of operation.

The market for money remittance services is very competitive. Our competitors include a small number of large money remittance providers, financial institutions, banks and a large number of small niche money remittance service providers that serve select regions. We compete with larger companies, such as Western Union, MoneyGram, Remitly and Euronet, and a number of other smaller money services business (“MSB”) entities.

As a philosophy, we sell credible solutions to our sending agents, not discounts or higher commissions, as is typical for the industry.

Trends in the cross-border money remittance business tend to correlate to immigration trends, global economic opportunity and related employment levels in certain industries such as construction, information technology, manufacturing, agriculture and hospitality, as well as other service industries.
