Business Overview

The Company provides integrated payment processing solutions to industry-oriented markets in which businesses have specific transaction processing needs. The Company refers to these markets as “vertical markets” or “verticals.” The Company’s proprietary, integrated payment technology platform reduces the complexity of the electronic payments process for business. The Company charges its clients processing fees based on the volume of payment transactions processed and other transaction or service fees. The Company intends to continue to strategically target verticals where the Company believes its ability to tailor payment solutions to its clients’ needs, its deep knowledge of the Company’s vertical markets and

the embedded nature of its integrated payment solutions will drive strong growth by attracting new clients and fostering long-term client relationships.

The Company provides payment processing solutions to clients primarily operating in the personal loans, automotive loans, receivables management, and business-to-business verticals. The Company’s payment processing solutions enable consumers and businesses in these verticals to make payments using electronic payment methods, rather than cash or check, which have historically been the primary methods of payment in these verticals. The Company believes that a growing number of consumers and businesses prefer the convenience and efficiency of paying with cards and other electronic methods and that the Company is poised to benefit from the significant growth opportunity of electronic payment processing as these verticals continue to shift from cash and check to electronic payments. The personal loans vertical is predominately characterized by installment loans, which are typically utilized by consumers to finance everyday expenses. The automotive loans vertical predominantly includes subprime automotive loans, automotive title loans and automotive buy-here-pay-here loans and also includes near-prime and prime automotive loans. The Company’s receivables management vertical relates to consumer loan collections, which typically enter the receivables management process due to delinquency on credit card bills or as a result of major life events, such as job loss or major medical issues. The business-to-business vertical relates to transactions occurring between a wide variety of enterprise clients, many of which operate in the manufacturing, wholesale, distribution, healthcare, and education industries.

The Company’s go-to-market strategy combines direct sales with integrations with key software providers in its target verticals. The integration of the Company’s technology with key software providers in the verticals that the Company serves, including loan management systems, DMS, collection management systems, and enterprise resource planning software systems, allows the Company to embed its omni-channel payment processing technology into its clients’ critical workflow software and ensure seamless operation of the Company’s solutions within its clients’ enterprise management systems. The Company refers to these software providers as its “software integration partners.” This integration allows the Company’s sales force to readily access new client opportunities or respond to inbound leads because, in many cases, a business will prefer, or in some cases only consider, a payments provider that has already integrated or is able to integrate its solutions with the business’ primary enterprise management system. The Company has successfully integrated its technology solutions with numerous, widely-used enterprise management systems in the verticals that it serves, which makes its platform a more compelling choice for the businesses that use them. Moreover, the Company’s relationships with its partners help it to develop deep industry knowledge regarding trends in client needs. The Company’s integrated model fosters long-term relationships with its clients, which supports its volume retention rates that the Company believes are above industry averages. As of December 31, 2021, the Company maintained approximately 222 integrations with various software providers.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus a global pandemic. The ultimate impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic conditions on the Company’s results remain uncertain. The scope, duration and magnitude of the direct and indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to evolve and in ways that are difficult to fully anticipate. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the full impact of the pandemic on the Company, given the uncertainty over the duration and severity of the economic crisis.

As previously disclosed in Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as amended, the Company restated its previously issued consolidated financial statements for periods following the Business Combination through December 31, 2020 to make accounting corrections related to Warrant accounting. This Annual Report on Form 10-K reflects the restated consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, for the period from July 11, 2019 to December 31, 2019, for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the quarterly periods therein.
