Q3 2021 Financial and Business Highlights:

The national launch and ongoing adoption of Payfare’s DasherDirect U.S. program with DoorDash contributed to this growth. 

• Payfare increased its active user¹ count by 37% compared to Q2 2021. This represents an increase of 679%, when compared to the same period in 2020. With the ongoing reopening of businesses across Payfare’s footprint and increased demand for rideshare and food delivery, the company continues to experience increases in user sign-ups. 

• Payfare had positive gross profit margins of $606,067 (5%) in Q3 2021, compared to a negative gross profit margin in the same period in 2020. This was driven by the repayment of Payfare’s operating loan facility in Q1 2021, various cost optimizations and the ongoing streamlining of vendor contracts.
