We expect most of this revenue growth to be delivered by the increase in revenue from transaction fees. Transaction fees are a sum of fees paid for maintenance of servers and databases, interchange fees paid to merchant banks for settling transactions and fees paid to issuing banks. An increase in this fee happens as more users are added to a payment network through the acquisition of co-branding partners or issuance of more credit or debit cards.
