At the same time, the Asian markets that have been in focus for the group since 2017 grew their share from 16% in Q2 2019 up to 19%. Among the latter, the Philippines was leading with 15%.
With the accelerated expansion, the number of customers of the group increased to 7.9 million.

Commenting on the results, Sergey Sedov, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Robocash Group noted, “Financial technologies are developing at a tremendous speed in Asia. Our case proves the need for relevant services. Take the recent estimate of Google & Temasek on digital lending in Southeast Asia: the loan book that is expected to grow from $23 billion in 2019 to $110 billion by 2025. These figures are not the limit. The growing use of digital solutions helps to narrow the gap in financial inclusion and benefits people in Asia already today. As a company, we are proud to be a part of that process and aspire to provide the fastest and most convenient access to finance no matter the country and any peculiarities.”
