Management Discussion
- Pursuant to instruction 1 of the instructions to paragraph 303(b) of Regulation S-K, discussion of the results of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 to fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 has been omitted. Such omitted discussion can be found under "Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2023.
- Card Revenues and Other Fees — Card revenues and other fees totaled $1,007.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $131.3 million, or 15%, from the comparable prior year period. Card revenues and other fees increased primarily due to growth in gross dollar volume in our B2B Services segment programs, which resulted in higher program management service fees earned from our BaaS partners. In addition, card revenues and other fees also increased due to customer adoption of optional features launched on our card programs, such as our overdraft protection program. These increases were partially offset by decreases in cardholder fees, such as monthly maintenance fees, new card fees and ATM fees for the reasons discussed above in "Overview."
- Cash Processing Revenues — Cash processing revenues totaled $225.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $10.0 million, or 4%, from the comparable prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to a decline in the number of cash transfers processed year-over-year as a result of lower active accounts within our Consumer Services and B2B Services segments, partially offset by an increase in the number of cash transfers processed for third-party programs as discussed above in "Overview." To a lesser extent, cash processing revenues also decreased due to lower overall tax processing revenues, as a result of a 3% decrease in the number of tax refunds processed.
