Growth Initiatives Launched with Cash Back Rewards Engine & 15 Identity Verification (IDV) Product Sales YTD

RADNOR, PA / ACCESSWIRE / August 14, 2024 / BM Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American:BMTX) ("BM Technologies", "BMTX", "we", or the "Company"), one of the largest digital banking platforms and Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) providers in the country, today reported results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Luvleen Sidhu, BMTX's Chair, CEO, and Founder, stated, "This quarter we have made strong progress towards our strategy of digital transformation and setting the stage for growth in our higher education business going forward. Additionally, the year-over-year increase in interchange and card revenue is validating our strategy of switching to a Durbin exempt bank. In the second quarter, we completed our technology platform transformation, a cutting-edge microservice architecture platform that has unlocked our ability to bring additional products and services to market at an industry leading pace. This significant investment enables us to offer our student customer base targeted products and services in a compliant manner.

Also in the second quarter, we saw a strong response to our IDV product, an innovative Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) product that assists universities in mitigating fraud vulnerabilities during the student enrollment process. IDV leverages robust AI and machine learning tools, empowering universities to maintain their risk level preferences with data driven insights and significantly enhances their fraud detection capabilities. We believe adding this product to our technology stack will attract more college and university partners, creating a new source of revenue for us and reducing fraud for our university partners and for the Company as well."

Business Update

Higher Education Vertical

During the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company retained 99.3% of its Higher Education institutional clients. The Company signed three new colleges and universities in the first half of 2024, providing approximately 16,000 additional students access to BankMobile Disbursements and the BankMobile Vibe checking account.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company disbursed over $1.9 billion in refunds to students. Of the $1.9 billion, approximately 12%, or $234 million, was disbursed into BankMobile Vibe checking accounts. The second quarter is typically the slowest quarter for the year as the business is cyclical.

Higher Education average serviced deposits and ending serviced deposits totaled $425 million and $392 million, respectively, for the three month period ended June 30, 2024. Debit card point of sale spend decreased by 4% during Q2 2024 as compared to Q2 2023. Deposits and spend per 90-day active account during the second quarter of 2024 were $1,816 and $2,021, respectively.

In the first half of July, the Company launched a rewards engine offered to its Vibe customers in which customers can earn cash back on everyday debit card purchases. This feature is the first of many that are expected to increase transaction and spend volume that drives interchange revenues. With the NextGen technology, we are very excited in terms of what we can offer our students over the following quarters, increasing the value proposition for the Vibe account, as well as the potential for higher revenue from increased spend and deposits.

In the first quarter, we launched IDV, a SaaS revenue product that assists universities in mitigating fraud vulnerabilities during the student enrollment process. YTD we have signed on 15 universities for this product and have a strong pipeline and anticipate solid sales through the remainder of the year. As part of our improved technology stack and service offering, IDV increases stickiness and lifetime value of our existing higher education relationships and opens the door for new relationships as well.

BaaS Vertical

BaaS average serviced deposits and ending serviced deposits totaled $261 million and $250 million, respectively, at June 30, 2024 and debit card point of sale spend during Q2 2024 decreased 6% from Q2 2023. Average deposits declined 47% from Q2 2023.

Our BaaS relationship expires in February 2025. In the current regulatory and interest rate environment, this business is unprofitable for us. In the event of a wind-down, we expect our pro-forma core EBITDA to increase at least $1 million per quarter on a run-rate basis.

Technology Initiatives and Outlook

Jamie Donahue, President and Chief Technology Officer stated, "Our technology transformation is driven by our vision to modernize our platform architecture and offer innovative products and services to our customers. We are executing on that vision and delivering exciting new features for our clients. We have added a rewards engine to allow our students to take advantage of their everyday spending. Our next product launch is targeted before the end of the year and will provide our students with financial, insurance, and wellness benefits. Additionally, we will be enhancing our direct deposit experience and external account linking for funding; all these changes are expected to further make the BankMobile Vibe account a feature-rich, lifelong checking and savings account that will grow with our student population."

During Q2 of 2024, the Company made significant investment in the launch of its NextGen technology platform which for the first time allows the Company to market targeted products and services to its Vibe customer base.The implementation of this new architecture resulted in higher expenses in Q2 related to technology and professional services costs from having to run two separate platforms for a period of time.

Growth Initiatives and Outlook

The Company anticipates revenue growth in 2024 driven by investments in the Higher Education vertical and the full year effect of Durbin-exempt interchange rates on the majority of serviced deposit account holder's debit card spend. The Company also expects a positive Core EBITDA¹ in 2024 based on these higher revenues and stricter cost controls implemented as part of the Company's PEP.

In closing, our Higher Education vertical is a prized asset and we have shown our commitment to this business by making necessary investments, including the implementation of NextGen.
