- Gross dollar value (“GDV”) loaded on the Company’s platform was over $153MM for 2021, an increase of 410% from $30MM in 2020. GDV is key performance indicator as the Company generates revenue when money is spent from the Today wallet at a point-of-sale in-store or online. XTM’s revenue is derived mainly from interchange fees, which is earned when a user of a Today™ wallet uses their VISA or branded card at a point-of-sale. A higher GDV will generally result in higher revenues from interchange fees.
