The fall was largely attributed to the ongoing pandemic that dented its first half of 2020 operating results.
Money transfer revenue amounted to $1.1bn, a fall of 2% on a reported basis as well as on a constant currency basis from the previous year.
The company’s total operating expenses dropped nearly 10% to $1.11bn as it worked to reduce expenses amid the pandemic and derive benefits from its digital transformation.
Net loss in 2020, however, declined to $7.9m from $60.3m reported in 2019.
