TORONTO & SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--POSaBIT Systems Corporation (CSE: PBIT), a leading financial technology company delivering unique payment processing and point-of-sale (POS) systems for cash-only businesses with a focus on the cannabis industry, is pleased to report its financial results for the year ended Dec. 31, 2019.
“We are very happy with our 2019 results, nearly doubling our revenue from 2018 and almost tripling our total transactional sales. POSaBIT finished the year with annual revenue of $4.2 million, inclusive of all revenue from the POSaBIT Payments business and our growing POSaBIT Point of Sale business. We continued our rapid expansion into new markets and now have active merchants in 10 US states,” said Ryan Hamlin, co-founder and CEO of POSaBIT. “In 2019, we really started to gain a lot of traction with our feature-rich Point of Sale offering and have been onboarding a bevy of new merchants switching away from their existing POS provider to POSaBIT. We are very well-positioned to take advantage of the large and growing cannabis industry and poised for continued strong growth.”
“Looking ahead to 2020 year end, we remain focused on delivering strong results. Our performance-to-date in 2020 has hit our forecast, led by continued traction in the market for our fully integrated point of sale and payments platform. The recent Covid-19 outbreak has accelerated the need that many merchants have to provide their customers with cashless payments – something POSaBIT has been supplying to the industry for over four years. We believe both the expansion of our payments business and the accelerated growth of our point of sale positions us for another strong year. We are projected for another 80% to 100% growth of revenue and sales, and, as a result, we are maintaining our positive outlook for the year,” Hamlin concluded.
