Management Commentary
“The increase in revenue in the third quarter and nine month period was primarily a result of growth in our cardholder base throughout our portfolio of prepaid debit card programs,” said Brian Polan, Chief Financial Officer of 3PEA International. “We have developed a robust sales pipeline and remain focused on expanding our product offerings in new and existing markets. Additionally, we have successfully reduced our selling, general and administrative costs. As a result, we expect continued top and bottom line improvement as we continue to add new prepaid card programs to the PaySign platform.”
