  1. Active ICPs are defined as customers with a Payoneer Account that have on average over $500 per month in volume and were active over the trailing twelve-month period.

  2. SMB customer take rate represents revenue from SMBs who sell on marketplaces, B2B SMBs, and Merchant Services, divided by the associated volume from each respective channel.

"2024 was a defining year for Payoneer. We achieved new records for annual volume, revenue and profitability, saw exceptional volume and revenue growth with B2B SMBs, drove increased adoption of our high value products and expanded our financial stack. These achievements are proof of our scalable, increasingly profitable business model, the size of our opportunity and the strength of our execution.

 

Looking ahead to 2025, we will focus on expanding our regulatory moat, modernizing our technology infrastructure and further enhancing our financial stack, while seeking to deliver continued strong growth and profitability."

 

John Caplan, Chief Executive Officer

  • Total volume grew 21% year-over-year to $80 billion dollars. B2B volume growth was particularly strong, growing 42% year-over-year.

  • 8% ICP growth year-over-year. Volume and revenue from $10K+ ICPs both increased by over 20% for the full year.
