The company’s total transaction volume is expected to be $775 million, up 57.3 per cent from this time last year. Credit performance remains positive with net loss of $30.2 million, down 20.3 per cent.

humm saw a record quarterly in the buy now, pay later sector, with transaction volumes at $305 million, up 68.7 per cent on this time last year.

“We are confident in carrying this volume momentum into FY22 as our products continue to evolve and mature, we execute on our international expansion, and we deliver on our partnership strategy,” Ms James said.

“humm group’s sustainable profit is a key differentiator against many of our competitors, and importantly will be the fuel to fund the company’s growth strategy.”
