 have continued to gain market share through the marketing of their largely free bank account offerings. To the extent these competitors continue to take market share at our expense, we expect that the purchase and use of our products and services would decline. In order to compete across the markets served by our Consumer Services and Money Movement Services segments, we may have to increase the incentives that we offer to our retail distributors and our tax preparation partners, or directly to consumers, and decrease the prices of our products and services, any of which would likely negatively impact our results of operations.

We may not keep pace with the rapid technological developments in the industries in which we compete and the larger electronic payments industry.

The electronic payments industry is subject to rapid and significant technological changes, and our ability to meet our customers' and partners' needs and expectations is key to our business success and financial results over the long term. We cannot predict the effect of technological changes on our business. We rely in part on third parties for the development of, and access to, new technologies. We expect that new services and technologies applicable to our industry will continue to emerge, and these new services and technologies may be superior to, or render obsolete, the technologies we currently utilize in our products and services. Some of our competitors are substantially larger than we are, which may allow those competitors to invest more money into their technology infrastructure and digital innovation than we do. In addition, other competitors may experience lower cost structures and different regulatory requirements and scrutiny than we do, which may allow them to innovate more rapidly than we can.

Additionally, we may make future investments in, or enter into strategic alliances to develop, new technologies and services or to implement infrastructure change to further our strategic objectives, strengthen our existing businesses and remain competitive. However, our ability to develop or transition to new services and technologies may be inhibited by a lack of industry-wide standards, by difficulties encountered in our development of new services and technologies, by resistance from our retail distributors, BaaS partners, third-party processors or consumers to these changes, by the intellectual property rights of third parties or our reliance on certain third-party service providers. A failure to maintain or to enhance our competitive position with respect to digital products and services, whether because we fail to anticipate customer or partner expectations or because our technological developments fail to perform as desired or are not implemented in a timely or successful manner, could negatively affect our business and financial results.

Fraudulent and other illegal activity involving our products and services could negatively impact our financial position and results of operations.
