 so, but our efforts might be insufficient. Our expanded operations, evolving business, and unpredictable periods of rapid growth make it difficult to predict all of the risks and challenges we might encounter and therefore increase the risk that our policies and procedures for identifying, monitoring, and managing risks might not be fully effective in mitigating our exposure in all market environments or against all types of risk. Further, some controls are manual and are subject to inherent limitations and errors in oversight, which could cause our compliance and other risk management strategies to be ineffective. Other compliance and risk management methods depend upon the evaluation of information regarding markets, clients, catastrophe occurrences, or other matters that are publicly available or otherwise accessible to us, which might not always be accurate, complete, up-to-date, or properly evaluated. Insurance and other traditional risk-shifting tools might be held by or available to us in order to manage some exposures, but they are subject to terms such as deductibles, coinsurance, limits, and policy exclusions, as well as risk of counterparty denial of coverage, default, or insolvency. Any failure to maintain effective compliance and other risk management strategies could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

We are also exposed to heightened regulatory risk because our business is subject to extensive regulation and oversight in a variety of areas, and such regulations are subject to revision, supplementation, or evolving interpretations and application, and it can be difficult to predict how they might be applied to our business, particularly as we introduce new products and services and potentially expand into new jurisdictions, and how we may be required to update our policies and procedures in response. If we are unable to implement current and effective policies and procedures, we may be subject to regulatory actions, which may have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

We are exposed to funding transaction losses due to reversals or insufficient funds.

Our products and services are primarily funded by electronic funds transfer from clients’ external bank accounts, which exposes us to risks associated with reversals and insufficient funds. Fraud, misuse, unintentional use, settlement delay, or other client activities could result in the need to unwind funds transfers due to reversals and/or insufficient funds, which could cause us to incur losses. Also, criminals are using increasingly sophisticated methods to engage in illegal activities, such as cyber fraud and identity theft. If we are unable to collect and retain the amount of the chargeback, refund, or return from the client, or if the client refuses or is unable, due to bankruptcy
