The last year has been transformative according to the company, with its annual revenue more than doubling to USD 290.3 million in 2020 as the race to digital finance was accelerated by Covid-19. The recent IPO raised USD 1.2 billion for the firm, cash which the firm says will be used predominantly as working capital and to grow the business globally, and potentially for acquisitions.
