Basis Of Presentation And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Unaudited Interim Financial Information	Unaudited Interim Financial Information The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all majority-owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required for interim financial reporting. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are necessary for a fair representation of financial results for the interim periods presented.

Impact Of COVID-19 On The Company's Business	Impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business The Company’s business has been, and continues to be, impacted by government restrictions and quarantines related to COVID-19. South Africa operates with a five-level COVID-19 alert system, with Level 1 being the least restrictive and Level 5 being the most restrictive. South Africa operated at adjusted Level 1 during its most recent fiscal quarter, which had a limited impact on the Company’s businesses, and which ceased to be in operation on April 4, 2022. South Africa is subject to limited COVID-19 restrictions following the lifting of the National State of Disaster in South Africa on April 5, 2022. These restrictions are expected to have a limited impact on the Company’s business. The broader implications of COVID-19 on the Company’s results of operations and overall financial performance continue to remain uncertain. While the Company has not incurred significant disruptions thus far from the COVID-19 outbreak, apart from the two months in April and May 2020 when loan origination was curtailed, the Company is unable to accurately predict the impact that COVID-19 will have due to numerous uncertainties, including the severity and duration of the outbreak, actions that may be taken by governmental authorities, the impact on the Company’s customers and other factors. The Company will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the impact on its business, consolidated results of operations, and financial condition.
Reorganization Charge - Financial Services Restructuring	Reorganization charge - financial services restructuring The Company has incurred significant losses since its contract to distribute social grants expired in September 2018. A strategic imperative for the Company is to return its South African financial services business to a breakeven position and then profitability as soon as possible. As part of a cost optimization process completed in late calendar 2021, the Company performed a review of its labor structure and determined that a number of its defined employee roles would need to be terminated due to redundancy. The Company embarked on a retrenchment process pursuant to Section 189A of the South African Labour Relations Act (“Labour Act”) on January 10, 2022. The Company incurred cash costs of approximately $6.7 million (ZAR 103.4 million) during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, principally consisting of severance and related payments and the payment of unutilized leave days. The Company has recorded an expense of $5.9 million in the caption reorganization costs in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022. The primary difference between the reorganization charge amount and the total cash paid relates to leave pay which was accrued in prior periods.
Impact Of Events In Russia And Ukraine	Impact of events in Russia and Ukraine The Company does not expect its operations to be significantly impacted by events unfolding in Russia and Ukraine. The Company believes that these events may adversely impact South African gross domestic product and rates of inflation as a result of the recent increases in crude oil prices, which is likely to impact economic activity in South Africa and therefore indirectly affect the Company. It may also lead to higher input prices for certain of the goods and services the Company procures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted	Recent accounting pronouncements adopted In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance regarding Disclosure Framework: Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The guidance modifies the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement. The guidance became effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or its footnote disclosures. In January 2020, the FASB issued guidance regarding Clarifying the Interactions Between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. The guidance clarifies that an entity should consider observable transactions that require an entity to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with U.S GAAP guidance immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. The guidance also clarifies that, when determining the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options an entity should not consider, whether upon settlement or exercise, if the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method or fair value option. The guidance became effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or its footnote disclosures. Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as of March 31, 2022 In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance regarding Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For trade and other receivables, loans, and other financial instruments, an entity is required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses, which reflects losses that are probable. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will also be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2023. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures, but does not expect the impact on its financial results to be material. In November 2019, the FASB issued guidance regarding Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging(Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842). The guidance provides a framework to stagger effective dates for future major accounting standards and amends the effective dates for certain major new accounting standards to give implementation relief to certain types of entities, including Smaller Reporting Companies. The Company is a Smaller Reporting Company. Specifically, the guidance changes some effective dates for certain new standards on the following topics in the FASB Codification, namely Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815); Leases (ASC 842); Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (ASC 326); and Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (ASC 350). The guidance defers the adoption date of guidance regarding Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments by the Company from July 1, 2020 to July 1, 2023. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures, but does not expect the impact on its financial results to be material. In October 2021, the FASB issued guidance which amends guidance in Business Combinations (Topic 805) regarding the recognition and measurement of contract assets and liabilities in a business combination. These items are recognized at fair value on acquisition under current guidance. The new guidance requires an acquiring entity to apply guidance in Revenue Recognition (Topic 606) to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures, but does not expect the impact on its financial results to be material.
