+Added: and also the increasing adoption of electronic wallets or storage vehicles.
+Added: On the other hand, its international airtime transfer business
+Added: may be adversely affected by the increasing adoption and thus wider availability of free Wi-Fi in public places and buildings in many
+Added: Southeast Asian countries as well as other emerging countries.
+Added: Currenc’s results of operations and financial condition are affected
+Added: by the general factors driving the currency transfer, digital financial services, e-commerce and other industries in Southeast Asia.
+Added: On the other hand, as the global digital remittance market has thrived and grown rapidly, more and more competitors have entered into
+Added: the market and as a result, the market competition is intensifying.
+Added: This has direct impact on the pricing power of Currenc, and thus
+Added: its profitability.
+Added: ability to maintain and increase the size of its user base
+Added: revenue is largely driven by the number of users and the number of transactions on its remittance platforms, as well as the users on
+Added: the airtime trading platforms.
+Added: The larger the number of users on Currenc’s platforms and the larger the number of partners, including
+Added: banks, e-Wallets and corporations that will join its network, the greater will be the number of transactions that drive its revenue.

+Added: in order to maintain and increase its user base.
+Added: the larger the number of merchants and telecommunication companies using the platforms of airtime supplied by Tranglo’s airtime
+Added: business and WalletKu, the higher the growth in business, and revenue of Currenc will be higher.

+Added: for airtime business, Currenc will strive to expand its global airtime transfer coverage and telco partner network.
+Added: The global airtime
+Added: transfer business mainly serves migrant workers worldwide.
+Added: As free Wi-Fi becomes more and more available to many Southeast Asian countries,
+Added: the needs for migrant workers from these countries to send airtime back to their homelands diminish over time.
+Added: Also, as Malaysia-Indonesia
+Added: is currently the key global airtime corridor for Tranglo which contributed 51.6% of Tranglo’s global airtime revenue for the nine-month
+Added: period ended September 30, 2024, Tranglo’s global airtime business could be adversely affected by the changes.

+Added: and African countries like Egypt, in order to expand its global airtime business in the future.

+Added: Southeast Asia has generally increased in recent years, and Currenc believes it offers competitive wages and other benefits to recruit
+Added: and retain quality professionals.
+Added: As Currenc is to explore and develop the B2C markets in Southeast Asia and Middle East, Currenc’
+Added: operating model allows it to centralize a number of functions, including technology development, operating system infrastructure building
+Added: as well as certain general and administrative services.
+Added: This will allow Currenc to increase efficiencies across each of its businesses
+Added: and further increase its overall operating leverage.
