Second Quarter 2022 Business Highlights
MoneyGram International Reports Second Quarter 2022 Results
“Against the backdrop of an increasingly uncertain macro-economic environment, we delivered 5% year-over-year revenue growth in the second quarter on a constant currency basis. Results for the quarter were driven by record digital revenue, partially offset by continued softness in the walk-in retail business in certain markets,” said Alex Holmes MoneyGram Chairman and CEO. “As we look ahead to the second half of the year, we anticipate consumers globally will face challenges as the impact of rising inflation places more pressure on their disposable incomes. However, our services also rise in importance during challenging times. We remain confident in the dedication and loyalty of our customers to their families abroad, as we look to further support them by investing in our digital platforms and customer experience initiatives.”
